Job Description

Some Data Scientists love research.
n Some prefer the safety of large corporate teams.
n Some chase FAANG logos.

n

And then there are the ones who just want to do great work with real-world AI — wherever the challenge is.

n

If you're in that last group, read on.

n

We're hiring a Data Scientist for a PE-backed AI consultancy with a growing national footprint (currently sub-10 people, but scaling quick). This team thrives on tackling high-impact, technically complex problems — from GenAI tooling to agent-based AI systems and government-grade infrastructure.

n

This role is open only to Australian Citizens due to upcoming work with federal agencies — if you have experience in or exposure to government departments, that's a plus (but not essential).

n

What you'll be doing:

n

n
- Building and deploying ML models and GenAI systems
n
- Working hands-on with AI agents, LLM pipelines, and secure environments
n
- Seeing your work go to production,



not just proof-of-concept
n
- Collaborating with senior DS mentors who bring deep R&D; and commercial expertise
n

n

What you bring:

n

n
- 5+ years hands-on experience in Data Science
n
- Strong Python skills across modelling and data wrangling
n
- Experience working with LLMs or AI agents (bonus points)
n
- Models in production (not just notebooks)
n
- PhD preferred, but not required
n
- Bonus: any background working on government or regulated data projects
n

n

Location:
n Melbourne preferred
n Open to Sydney-based candidates for the right fit
n Must be an Australian Citizen (due to project security requirements)

n

Want to work with smart people, ship real AI solutions, and get your hands dirty?

n

Build, deploy, and enjoy.
