Don't apply unless you've built AI that actually works.
Not a chatbot.
Not a weekend prompt engineering project.
Not another "AI enthusiast."
We're looking for engineers who have shipped AI agents into production or have built multi-agent orchestration that solves real problems.
We don't mind whether you did it at work, at home or through an open-source project.
We do care that you've actually built it.
You'll embed directly with business leaders, identify high-value opportunities, then design, build and deploy AI systems that fundamentally change how work gets done.
One week you'll replace hours of repetitive work with autonomous AI agents.
The next you'll orchestrate production-grade workflows across multiple models, tools and enterprise systems.
This isn't machine learning research.
This isn't prompt engineering.
This is software engineering for the AI era.
What we're looking for: Non-negotiables
- You've personally shipped AI agents into production or built sophisticated multi-agent orchestration.
- You're Brisbane-based and can work from the office three days each week.
- You can point to real projects and explain the architecture, trade-offs and lessons learned.
You'll also bring
- Robust Python (TypeScript is a bonus).
- Experience building production AI applications using modern LLMs.
- Experience with agent frameworks, MCP, tool calling, RAG and API integrations.
- AWS experience and modern cloud engineering practices.
- A builder's mindset. You ship, iterate and improve.
What you'll get
- $180,000 + Super.
- Hybrid working (3 office / 2 WFH).
- Direct access to senior decision makers.
- The freedom to build, experiment and ship.
- The real possibility of promotion within 18 months.
- A business that's investing heavily in AI and expects it to become a competitive advantage - not just another internal project.
If you've been waiting for a role where your AI work actually goes into production rather than only as far as another PowerPoint deck at the monthly governance and risk committee meeting, we'd like to hear from you. Hey, stand above everyone else with a short note on what you've built:
