Founding AI Engineer | Sydney, 4 days | $200,000 - $300,000 + Super + Founding Equity

An AI-native holding company is acquiring services businesses across Australia and Recent Zealand and rebuilding them as AI operations from the inside out. Two founders and one founding engineer in seat. Looking for the next one.

The model is genuinely unique - the platform runs every business in the portfolio, and what gets built today gets codified and deployed across every acquisition that follows. The equity compounds the same way the platform does with engineers coming in at this stage getting terms the market rarely sees outside of being a literal co-founder. That changes as the team grows, so the timing is the point.

The feedback loops are measured in days, the stakes are live operations and real revenue, and the upside for the right person is serious.

What you will be doing

- Design and build multi-agent systems handling complex, multi-step operations end to end in production
- Own the core AI platform across knowledge representation, RAG, agentic orchestration, evals and deployment




- Work directly with operators inside the businesses to understand what to build next and validate when it is working
- Codify what works into platform primitives that serve every business in the portfolio
- Maintain production rigour across cost, latency, reliability and evaluation frameworks

What we are looking for

- Hands on production experience with LLMs and agents, not proofs of concept
- Strong engineering foundations across the full stack with genuine AI depth
- Already across what shipped last month and tinkering in your own time
- Comfortable when the scope is undefined and the path is yours to determine
- Sydney based or genuinely willing to relocate

What is on offer

- Founding equity on the same terms the first engineer received, which change as the team scales beyond this cohort
- $200,000 to $300,000 plus super depending on experience
- A small, technically serious team with no committees and no permission structures
- Largely on site in Sydney working directly alongside the founding team
