We're partnering with a leading global trading firm to find a Systems Engineer for a newly forming team at the intersection of platform engineering, developer productivity and AI safety.This is not a role building or training AI models.
Instead, you'll build and operate the secure, reliable infrastructure that enables engineering teams to use AI-powered tools and coding agents safely within production-critical environments.You'll work on the environments where these tools run, the integrations that connect them to internal systems, and the operational controls that make their use observable, auditable and resilient.What you'll be doingSystems Engineer - AI Safety & ToolingSydney | Global trading firm | High-impact developer platform roleWe're partnering with a leading global trading firm to find a Systems Engineer for a newly forming team at the intersection of platform engineering, developer productivity and AI safety.This is not a role building or training AI models.
