Want to build AI that actually ships? Work directly with the CTO and Head of Technology?

Our client is an established (non-big4), Australian bank that's growing fast, both by winning new customers and by buying smaller competitors. Each acquisition brings new systems, data and customers, which makes this one of the most interesting places in Australian banking to build practical AI.

The role

This is a hands-on, forward-deployed engineering role. You'll sit close to the business, find where AI can make a real difference, and take solutions from first conversation to live production.

What you'll do

- Find and scope high-value AI use cases across lending, operations, risk, customer service and acquisition integration.
- Build and deploy LLM-powered solutions, such as agents, RAG pipelines (AI that answers from the bank's own documents and data), document intelligence and workflow automation.
- Integrate across traditional core banking and newer AI-native platforms.
- Build on Snowflake in a multi-cloud AWS and Azure workplace.
- Prototype fast, prove value, then harden solutions for a regulated bank.
- Advise senior stakeholders and help shape a growing AI engineering capability.

What you'll bring





- Strong software engineering skills, with Python essential.
- LLM or machine learning solutions deployed into production, not just proofs of concept.
- Hands-on Snowflake experience, plus AWS and/or Azure.
- Comfort integrating with legacy and enterprise systems.
- A consulting-style, forward-deployed mindset: you're confident with stakeholders and focused on outcomes.
- An understanding of regulated environments, with financial services experience strongly preferred.

Nice to have: LangChain, LlamaIndex or Semantic Kernel, Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI or Snowflake Cortex, and experience with M&A; integration or core banking modernisation.

Why this role

- You'll work directly with the CTO and Head of Technology, with no layers in between.
- You'll have real, visible impact at a bank that's growing and investing in AI.
- You'll work across a varied mix of legacy and cutting-edge technology.
