Software Engineer, AI Systems Location: Perth, Western Australia

Workplace: Hybrid

Engagement: Fixed-term Contract, 8 weeks We are looking for a Software Engineer to join an 8 week engagement building a working AI prototype for a Tier One mining client. You will turn real employee requests into structured, reliable action across enterprise systems, working with Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Connect, and MCP to design the agentic layer that drives it, alongside a team of AWS engineers shaping a credible path to production.

The Project

This engagement sits within an AWS-backed prototype building an AI front door for employee services. An employee makes a request by voice or chat, an AI agent works out what needs to happen, and completes it safely in the system of record. The first proof points are two real flows on one shared conversational spine, and the work is built around weekly showcases rather than a slow build up to a single release.

What You Will Do Build the core engine of the prototype, turning messy real-world inputs into reliable, structured output

Design and build the agentic layer on Amazon Bedrock, working alongside Amazon Connect and Lex at the voice and chat front end

Integrate through MCP to safely write into enterprise systems, with a full audit trail

Keep a human in the loop at the right points,



and measure how well the system performs

Work alongside AWS engineers and co-author the path to production What We Are Looking For Solid development skills, preferably in Python

Experience extracting structured data from complex, real-world inputs and computing reliably from it

Hands on experience with Amazon Bedrock, agentic architectures, and prompt and tool design

Working knowledge of core AWS services: Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CDK

Comfortable delivering within a timebox, with weekly client showcases Desirable Background Computer vision applied to technical documents or drawings

Prior AWS prototyping experience

Exposure to Amazon Connect, Lex, or other voice and conversational AI interfaces

Experience integrating with enterprise systems such as SAP or ServiceNow Why Horizon Digital Join a Perth-based AI and custom software consultancy working with Tier One Australian enterprises

Get hands on with a live AWS-backed AI engagement, not a greenfield side project

Work alongside AWS engineers on design and delivery from day one
