AI Product Engineer — Small Models & Applied AI Melbourne - Mon, Wed & Thu in office SuperCoders is recruiting an AI Product Engineer for a hands-on applied AI role.

The work is focused on what AI models can do in practice when compute and memory are limited. You will take ideas, build prototypes, run tests, analyse the results and work out whether an approach is good enough to take further.

You’ll be working across software engineering and data science, including:

Building and testing small language models

Running real datasets through models and analysing the results

Writing Python tools for experiments, testing and evaluation

Comparing models, prompts and different approaches

Quantising and optimising models for lower memory and compute use

Measuring accuracy, latency and resource usage

Building repeatable ways to evaluate model output

Using larger models to help assess the performance of smaller ones

Moving experiments from development machines onto smaller, more constrained devices

Producing working prototypes and clear technical findings for engineering and product teams

You may be given a product idea or technical problem and asked to determine whether it is practical, what the limitations are and what would need to change to make it work.





We’re looking for someone with strong Python skills and solid technical depth in backend engineering, machine learning or data science. Experience with

Linux

is valued. So is experience working with

small computing devices such as Raspberry Pi, embedded Linux systems or other resource-constrained hardware . You should be comfortable working directly with models, data, operating systems and hardware rather than only integrating AI APIs into applications.

Experience with small or local models, model evaluation, quantisation or optimisation would also be helpful.

Tell us what you have built We’re particularly interested in what you have actually

finished and made work . AI and LLMs have made it much easier to turn ideas into working software. We therefore expect strong candidates to have a substantial list of things they have built, tested, shipped or completed - whether professionally or in their own time. Personal projects or commercial are both great - tell us about what you have done. We care about evidence that you

build things, finish them and learn from the result .

Problem solving, critical thinking, curiosity and drive are important for this role. The selection process will include practical problem-solving exercises.
