Software Engineer at Maincode (Melbourne, Australia)
Maincode· Melbourne, Australia·
Role details
Job description
The Mission We are building the future of Australian-made AI. We believe it is critical to this country. Our product is Matilda. Maincoders are driven by a singular purpose that goes far beyond just another job. We believe this is our country’s time to shine; requiring a level of selflessness, dedication, and restlessness from everyone involved. For us to succeed in making Australian-made AI world-class, we need people who are tireless, passionate, and completely devoted to the cause. We will always choose someone with spirit, passion, and a true love for what we are building over someone who is highly credentialed but uninspired, because while we can teach skills, we can never teach heart.
