Careers/Open role ContractMelbourne (on-site at client sites) $1,400–1,800/day Senior AI Implementation Engineer Melbourne-based, client-facing engineer who ships AI systems alongside our mid-market clients. AWS + Anthropic certifications required.

About The Role This is a client-side, Melbourne-based engineering role. You'll spend most of your time on the ground at our clients' offices in and around Melbourne — sitting next to the people whose work you're changing, not behind a Slack channel. A Typical Week Looks Like 2–3 days at a client site — pairing with their staff, sitting in workflow sessions, watching the work get done before changing it

CRM + workflow integrations — typically HubSpot, Monday.com, Property Tree, plus AWS Lambda glue

Agentic implementations — designing and shipping Claude-powered automations that land with the actual people using them

Data plumbing — getting the data clean enough that the AI part has something to work with

Discovery + scoping — sitting in client sessions, sketching diagrams on whiteboards, pressure-testing approaches in real time This isn't a "go build whatever you want" role. Our clients have real operations that need to keep running. You'll write code that other people maintain after we leave — and you'll be the face of RYB in the rooms where decisions are made.

What we're looking for 5+ years building production software, ideally a mix of integration and full-stack

AWS certification — Solutions Architect Associate or Skilled, Developer Associate, or equivalent depth (we'll test for the depth, not just the badge)

Anthropic certification — Anthropic AI Fluency, Claude Builder, or demonstrable equivalent. Comfortable with the Claude API, tool use, prompt caching, and agentic patterns

Solid TypeScript/Node, ideally CDK





Genuinely comfortable in front of a non-technical client — can explain a technical recommendation to a CFO without losing the room

Melbourne-based with the right to work in Australia. Most days will be in client offices around the CBD and inner suburbs.

Comfortable being the most-senior-engineer in the room and still asking the dumb questions How we work Client-first; you'll structure most weeks around the client's calendar, not yours

Markdown-first internally (we write everything down)

Honest assessments over polished pitches — read the forms paradox and shadow AI for the flavour

Clients are addressed by name and treated like adults; we don't anonymise them in internal work but we do anonymise them in public content (you're expected to respect that) What we offer Day rate at the top of the AU contractor band A genuine seat at the client table — you set the technical direction, not a delivery manager three layers up

Mix of clients across financial services, professional services, real estate, mid-market manufacturing

Direct line to Tom — no account managers, no slide decks

Pipeline currently means we can offer 2–4 days/week ongoing for the right person How to apply Apply Through This Page.
