Established in 1874, we have grown to become the world leader in mining and civil blasting with a diverse of team of more than 13,000 across the world. 

It’s an exciting time to join us – we are shaping the future of mining through digital and automated technologies, embracing new ways of thinking, pioneering innovation and reimagining the way we work.

About the role

We’re looking for a skilled and innovative Senior Mobile Developer to join our Orebody Intelligence team in Perth, Brisbane, or Newcastle. In this role, you’ll architect and deliver cross-platform mobile solutions that connect to real hardware, operate reliably in challenging environments, and help shape the future of the mining value chain.

You’ll be a key contributor to the mobile architecture for Flutter apps across Android, iOS, and desktop platforms, selecting patterns, libraries, and tooling to ensure reliability and performance. You’ll design and implement enterprise-grade integrations, build robust Bluetooth (BLE) features, and partner with system engineers across hardware, firmware, and cloud. This is a unique opportunity to lead, mentor, and deliver software that makes a real-world impact.

If you’re passionate about building high-quality, hardware-integrated apps, eager to solve complex problems, and ready to set technical direction for a talented team, we’d love to hear from you.

What you will be doing

Mobile & Cross-Platform Architecture:

• Contribute to and evolve the architecture for Flutter apps spanning Android, iOS, and desktop (Windows/Linux).
• Select and implement patterns, libraries, and tooling for reliability, speed, and maintainability.
• Design and deliver enterprise-grade integrations across hardware, edge applications, and cloud platforms (data ingest, storage, authentication, observability).
• Build advanced Bluetooth (BLE) features for high-reliability field use, including connection strategies, reconnection logic, throughput tuning, and robust error handling.
• Ship offline-first experiences with resilient sync, data integrity, and telemetry for real-world conditions.

Collaboration, Leadership & Product Practices:

• Work with Product Managers with modern product practices: customer discovery, hypothesis-driven development, and outcome-focused roadmaps.
• Partner in system engineering with mechanical, electronic, and firmware engineers to deliver end-to-end products (requirements, interfaces, test plans).
• Champion performance, security, and test automation (CI/CD, code quality, instrumentation, traceability).
• Coach and mentor engineers, run design reviews, and raise the technical bar for the team.

What you will bring

• 6–10+ years of experience in mobile/software engineering, including 2+ years of production Flutter development.
• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical/Mechatronics, Physics, or equivalent experience.
• Expertise in cross-platform development: Flutter/Dart, native Android (Kotlin/Java), iOS (Swift), and familiarity with desktop targets (Windows/Linux).
• Proven track record in architecting and shipping enterprise-grade, hardware-integrated apps and edge-to-cloud data flows at scale.
• Deep knowledge of Bluetooth/BLE stacks, concurrency, state management, and building resilient user experiences for unreliable networks.
• Experience with cloud services (Azure/AWS/GCP), CI/CD, automated testing, and secure app design.
• Strong system engineering skills, collaborating across mechanical, electronic, and firmware disciplines.
• A love of maths and algorithms - you enjoy turning advanced physics signals into robust software models.
• Leadership and teamwork: facilitation, mentoring, constructive feedback, and clear technical storytelling.
