The Opportunity
Data61's Protari software allows users to query confidential unit record datasets (e.g. covering individuals, households, or businesses), while maintaining privacy by "confidentialising" the results on-the-fly. The software has both an easy-to-use interface, and a simple API which enables easy integration from researcher's code or other applications. The confidentialisation process currently uses published algorithms, but our goal is to utilise cutting-edge Data61 privacy research.
The successful candidate will have strong communication skills and maintain a collaborative focus as our team comprises expertise in various disciplines that need to work together cohesively to deliver best in class outcomes. You will assist in the development of a Python API that allows users to query confidential datasets, while maintaining privacy by aggregating and “confidentialising” the results on the fly. There is also scope to help develop JavaScript user interfaces that interact with the API, if desired.
Your duties will include
Location: Sydney, NSW (preferred) or Canberra, ACT (negotiable)
Salary: CSOF4 - AU $80,833 to AU $91,451 plus up to 15.4% superannuation
CSOF5 - AU $97,276 to AU $105,269 plus up to 15.4% superannuation
