Interested in AI? Join TerraSense and develop your expertise in this burgeoning field.
TerraSense is a well-established startup that harnesses the power of AI to enhance military/defence surveillance applications. We pride ourselves in pushing the technical boundaries at the forefront of AI, and we are looking for someone to join our DevOps team to help create an even more stable product. You’ll notice our current deployment doesn’t necessitate being on-call!
If this opportunity sounds interesting, we’d love to hear from you. We offer more than just competitive pay rates (see below), we also offer flexible vacation times (six weeks worth!) and flexible work hours.
Do you do your best coding in the back corner of a Starbucks, nursing your fifth coffee since 9pm? Great, we want you there as much as you like!
Do you need time to drop your kids off at school or to take them for appointments? All good, we want you to have the flexibility to do the things you need to do, so you can strike a work-life balance tailored to your needs.
As part of that balance, we also arrange team-based outings. In the near future: go-karting. Stay tuned to hear who the new TerraSense champ will be!
Additionally, we also have a weekly outing, officially dubbed Beer Thursday. This is our way of unwinding for the week, a time when TerraSense pays for the first round and we get to catch up with peers, nerd out and laugh.
