A forward-thinking AI consultancy is seeking a talented AI Engineer to join their Melbourne-based team. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of generative AI and agentic automation, building intelligent systems that drive real impact across enterprise environments.

About the Role

As an AI Engineer, you’ll be instrumental in designing, developing, and deploying production-grade AI agents and applications. You’ll work with large language models, integrate them into enterprise systems, and build secure, scalable solutions that are both innovative and reliable.

This role sits within a collaborative, fast-paced engineering team that values autonomy, experimentation, and shared learning. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of your work while contributing to a culture of openness and curiosity. Ideas move quickly from prototype to production, and your contributions will be felt across ambitious client organisations.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and deploy AI-powered applications and agent-based systems

Integrate LLMs with enterprise data sources and APIs using orchestration frameworks

Implement observability, evaluation, and monitoring tools to ensure reliability and compliance

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define features and deliver incremental value

Prototype new capabilities and contribute to internal tooling and frameworks

Support DevOps practices including Terraform, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code

What We’re Looking For

Strong full-stack engineering experience with a track record of building complex applications

Proficiency in Python and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript)

Hands-on experience with LLM and agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, ADK)

Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure and deployment practices (e.g., containerisation, serverless, Terraform)

Familiarity with agile methodologies and software architecture best practices

Bonus Skills

Experience with observability and evaluation tools for LLMs

Background in deploying and operating production-scale applications

How to Apply

If you're passionate about AI and excited to work on cutting-edge systems, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and a cover letter outlining your interest in AI technologies and any relevant projects or experiences.
