Senior AI / Machine Learning Engineers - Multiple Roles
THE ROLES
BLACKROC is recruiting a cluster of senior AI engineering roles for Brisbane organisations ranging from 40 to 2,000 people, each rebuilding internal systems and tooling around AI. The roles fall into three families:
Agentic AI: production agents, MCP and tool-calling systems, LLM orchestration
Applied AI / ML: production ML, search, ranking, RAG and evaluation pipelines
AI-first Software Engineering: building AI-native internal platforms and tooling, and building them with agents - engineers who direct coding agents across a codebase and own what ships
Some roles sit inside the business alongside operational teams, finding the real problems and shipping the fix. Others sit closer to platform.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Design, build and operate AI systems in production, end to end
Work directly with the people who use what you build
Own evals, latency, cost and failure modes, not just the demo
Set the standard for how AI is built and governed in businesses doing this for the first time
WHAT YOU BRING
Deep software engineering fundamentals: you've shipped and run production systems
Recent hands-on work with LLMs, agents, RAG or ML in production
You already build with coding agents day to day, and you can tell me where they're wrong
Robust in Python or TypeScript; comfortable across AWS, Azure or GCP
Brisbane-based, in office 3 or 4 days a week. Fully remote isn't available for these roles; must have full working rights.
WHY NOW
The big names have done this for years. It's now hitting SMEs and the upper mid-market, where there are fewer layers, less governance and sponsorship straight from the CEO and board. Fewer people between you and the outcome, and the outcome is visible.
