WHO WE ARE
n
Enterprise AI is a Sydney startup helping organisations put AI to work — properly. We're a small, sharp team across Sydney, Manila and New York, and we build the way we tell our clients to: AI agents do a large share of the engineering work, and humans direct, review and ship.
n
THE ROLE
n
The role You'll own how we build — as a player‐coach, not a people‐manager‐only. You'll code with AI every week, know our architecture cold, and stay close enough to the codebase to review anyone's work. And you'll run a hybrid team of engineers and AI agents, judged on one thing: fabulous product, out the door, fast.
n
YOU WILL
n
n
Stay hands‐on — build with AI coding agents yourself, know the architecture and the code, and never lose touch with how the product actually works
n
Talk with your team daily — across Sydney, Manila and Current York — to understand what everyone is building, unblock them, and connect the pieces
n
Continuously improve our engineering processes — code quality, deployments, product functionality, agent orchestration, code review, evals, CI/CD, and quality gates that let a small team ship like a big one
n
Lead, motivate and grow the team — coaching, celebrating, and raising the bar
n
Set technical direction and architecture for our enterprise AI products
n
Ship four times a week — and make shipping feel great for the team
n




Work directly with the founder on product strategy and key client engagements
n
n
YOU
n
n
8–15 years in software engineering, with real startup experience — you have shipped under constraints and worn many hats
n
Still coding, and proud of it — you review PRs, dive into the architecture, and would never lead from a slide deck
n
Already working with AI agents doing substantial engineering work, such as Claude Code, Cursor or custom agent pipelines — and you have opinions about their failure modes
n
You have led a team and loved the leading part — but you lead from inside the codebase, not above it
n
Strong product instinct — you argue about what to build, not just how to build it
n
Comfortable leading across time zones; based in Sydney and happy working mostly in‐person with the Sydney team
n
n
WHAT WE OFFER
n
n
A$*******k base + superannuation
n
Meaningful equity: 1%+, 4-year vesting — this is a partner‐level role, and the package reflects it
n
A team that's already AI‐native — no legacy culture to fight
n
Direct influence over product, company direction and how the team grows
