Job Description
We build AI and automation for trade and field-service businesses — electrical, plumbing, construction. If that sounds like an interesting problem space, keep reading.
n
Why this role is a bigger deal than it looks
n
Trade and construction is the largest, most under-automated sector in the Australian economy — and post-AI, it's about to be one of the fastest-growing. Everyone's joking that the tradie is the rich man of the future. We think that's not entirely a joke, and we want to be part of building the technology layer underneath it.
n
This is a genuine ground-floor opportunity. You'll shape how we build, not just execute someone else's playbook.
n
What you'll actually do
n
You'll design, build, deploy and maintain the AI and automation solutions we deliver into client businesses - taking a scoped problem from concept through to production, and owning it after go-live. Think agentic AI workflows, systems integrations, and automations running quietly inside a client's day-to-day operations.
n
What we're looking for
n
We're not after a specialist in one narrow lane. We want someone with practical, hands‐on exposure across most of the areas below - confident enough to pick up the rest on the job:
n
n
End-to-end experience building workflows, automations or integrations, and supporting them post-launch
n
Practical use of AI-assisted dev tools (Claude Code, Codex or similar) — you can review, test and fix what they generate
n
GitHub for deployment and version control
n
Working knowledge of agentic AI — including knowing when not to use an agent
n
API, database and third‐party system integration
n
Hands‐on with a cloud platform (Azure,



GCP or Cloudflare) — projects, app registrations, service accounts, auth
n
Comfortable with containerised apps
n
Solid grasp of security, privacy and credentials management
n
A track record of figuring out unfamiliar tools without waiting to be trained
n
Can explain technical things to non‐technical people
n
n
You don't need to be deep in any one of these. If you've touched most of it and trust yourself with the rest, apply.
n
Bonus points if:
n
you've worked in or around trades, construction or field-service industries before, or you're familiar with job management platforms like Simpro, AroFlo, ServiceM8 or Ascora.
n
What it's like working with us
n
High-Calibre solution focused, experienced team. Fast-paced, solution-first, and genuinely fun. We move quickly, back ourselves, and expect you to do the same — take the lead, build it, tell us if you think we're wrong. There's no dumb questions. (Well — almost none.)
n
Why BridgeCore
n
Trade and field-service is one of the least automated corners of the Australian economy, which makes this work both practical and genuinely high-impact. You'll own solutions end to end, see them running in real businesses within weeks — not quarters — and help shape the technical foundation of the business early.
n
What's on offer
n
Up to $120,000 + super, depending on experience
n
Full time, permanent
n
Potneital for remote or office based role (we prefer face to face at times so Melbourne-based candidates have an edge)
n
Direct exposure to client businesses and the commercial outcomes of your work
n
Real scope to shape how we build, not just deliver against someone else's spec
