AI Program Delivery Lead – Enterprise Modernisation
Contract: Initial 12 Months
Location: Eveleigh, SydneyWorking arrangement: Initially fully onsite, transitioning to 3 days onsite / 2 days WFH
We're seeking an experienced AI Program Delivery Lead to join a major enterprise modernisation program, helping transform a large-scale legacy platform using AI-assisted engineering.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people‐management position.
You'll lead delivery of an AI modernisation workstream while remaining close to the code‐building, reviewing and improving an AI‐assisted translation pipeline that converts legacy applications into up-to-date, cloud‐native solutions.
What you'll be doing
Lead technical delivery, sequencing, priorities and engineering standards.
Build and enhance AI/LLM pipelines, agent skills, prompts, context engineering and evaluation frameworks.
Deliver production solutions using Vue 3, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQL/Db2 and Terraform.
Guide engineers through design, code reviews and production‐readiness decisions.
Own quality and validation standards, including automated testing and CI/CD gates.
Coordinate across engineering, architecture, cyber, platform and business stakeholders.




Mentor engineers and establish reusable patterns, runbooks and delivery practices.
What we're looking for
8‐12+ years of production software engineering experience with demonstrated technical delivery leadership.
Strong hands‐on experience with LLMs and agentic AI/coding tools in real‐world delivery environments.
Production experience with RAG, vector search, embeddings, agentic orchestration, prompt/context engineering and AI evaluation.
Robust full‐stack capability across Vue 3, TypeScript, Node.js, REST APIs and serverless AWS.
Robust SQL, cloud, IaC/Terraform, CI/CD and automated testing experience.
Ability to lead technically while remaining hands‐on and accountable for production outcomes.
Highly regarded: IBM i/iSeries, RPG/CL/DDS, Db2, Python, identity technologies, change data capture, or large‐scale legacy modernisation experience.
This is an opportunity to help scale a proven AI‐assisted engineering capability across a significant enterprise transformation.
If you're an experienced technical lead who can combine hands‐on AI engineering, full‐stack development and delivery leadership, we'd like to hear from you.
