As an Australian who was just made redundant from a role that involved this type of low level programming - I love working on these these kinds of challenges.

I'm saddened that the job market in Australia is largely React CRUD applications and that it's unlikely I will find a role that lets me leverage my niche skill set (which is also my hobby)

I know this isn’t who’s hiring thread, but we are hiring in AU for low-level data processing and have interesting performance challenges.

Link in bio.

Speaking as an Australian that works on React CRUD applications because there's nothing else in the market, I've been reading through this thread thinking the exact same thing.

Google had some position open working on the kernel for ChromeOS, and Microsoft had some positions working on data center network drivers.

I applied for both and got ghosted, haha.

I also saw a government role as a security researcher. Involves reverse engineering, ghidra and that sort of thing. Super awesome - but the pay is extremely uncompetitive. Such a shame.

Other than that, the most interesting roles are in finance (like HFT) - where you need to juggle memory allocations, threads and use C++ (hoping I can pitch Rust but unlikely).

Sadly they have a reputation of having pretty rough cultures, uncompetitive salaries and it's all in-office

Not sure if it's the domain you're interested in, but there are quite a few HFT firms with offices in Australia.

The one I know of (IMC trading) does a lot of low level stuff like this and is currently hiring.

		I'm actually looking at HFT companies. Hoping I find one that allows remote working - but looks like there are basically no remote roles going at the moment

		I just tried to apply for IMC, the form on their careers page is broken. Looks like that's the first boss to defeat, haha

I have a relative in Australia who was hired by some type of consultancy to work on Samba, but I don't know what work he was doing.
