Location : Adelaide Requirement : minimum level of Baseline or Negative Vetting Level 1 In order to address the increasing scale of our modelling and simulation activities, this request seeks to engage experienced consultanta to help with the development of unified processes to better manage the software development life cycle and provide ongoing quality assurance and controls to ensure the software produced is fit for purpose. This will include evolving our existing continuous integration pipeline to incorporate vulnerability, performance and static analysis, as well as incorporating our suite of simulation tools into the continuous integration pipeline. Key duties may include, but are not limited to: · Developing end-to-end software development to deployment processes (including version control workflow, issue management workflow, dependency management, continuous integration, continuous deployment, continuous documentation), · Developing processes for users/consumers to engage with libraries developed and deployed using the above processes to support configuration management, · Evolving the existing toolchain to facilitate the above consumption, development and deployment processes (including build system recipes, package recipes, testing frameworks, CI/CD infrastructure/integrations/recipes) · Engaging stakeholders to elicit requirements, impacts and provide education with respect to the benefits of the proposed process changes, · Developing a plan to transition from the current set of processes and tools to the agreed upon solution, · Developing solutions to facilitate the management of build and simulation infrastructure, · Develop comprehensive documentation of the processes and their usage Requirements Mandatory Requirements: · Have sound interpersonal skills, including the ability to work productively and collaboratively as a member of a team; · Have the ability to develop strong working relationships across multiple business areas and recommend or co-ordinate efforts to deliver fit-for-purpose and timely outcomes; · Contribute positively to the outcomes of highly functional teams; · Have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with both colleagues and clients at multiple organisational levels; · Have well-developed internal and external customer relationship management skills; · Have demonstrated effective written, verbal communication, effective listening and problem-solving skills; · Be able to respond positively to challenging work and deadlines; · Have developed proficiency in time management, including the ability to prioritise and manage multiple concurrent tasks; · Be proficient in troubleshooting, investigation and reverse engineering of complex and undocumented systems Highly Desirable Criteria: · 3 years of C++ development experience with knowledge of application build processes including linking, static libraries and dynamic libraries; · Demonstrated experience with C++ build systems (CMake highly desirable) · Demonstrated experience with C++ package management (Conan highly desirable) · Demonstrated experience building pipeline automation (Bamboo, Travis CI, Circle CI, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Artifactory, etc.), particularly focusing on CI/CD; · Demonstrated experience with git and git workflows; · Demonstrated experience with containerisation technologies (Docker, Podman etc), including building container images; · Demonstrated experience with container orchestration technologies (Kubernetes, OpenShift, etc), including building container clusters; · Demonstrated experience with frontend web technologies (JavaScript, React desirable) · Demonstrated experience designing REST API’s · Experience with both Windows and Linux development environments; · Modelling and Simulation software experience; and · Knowledge of python, bash or other scripting language
