Senior Software Engineer - AI Enablement

Help build production AI systems across a major enterprise. We’re looking for robust software engineers with hands‑on experience building production AI systems.

This is a software engineering role first . Your background could be in Python, Node.js/TypeScript, Java, Go, C# or another modern backend stack.

The important thing is strong engineering fundamentals and genuine experience taking AI-enabled systems into production.

The team’s core language is Python , so you will need to be comfortable picking it up and working in it as part of the role.

What you could be building

- Customer-facing AI experiences that retrieve trusted information and interact with internal services
- Internal employee agents that gather information, summarise context and recommend next actions
- Agentic workflows that call enterprise APIs, tools and data sources
- RAG and knowledge platforms grounded in approved internal information
- Reusable engineering patterns around agents, MCP, evaluation, guardrails and observability
- AI-assisted software delivery and engineering productivity

What you’ll be doing

- Build and support production AI systems and backend services
- Design integrations with enterprise APIs, systems and data
- Work across agents, RAG, MCP, tool calling and multi-step workflows
- Implement evaluation, guardrails and human-in-the-loop patterns
- Design for reliability, scalability, resilience and fault tolerance
- Own solutions through testing, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring and production support




- Contribute to reusable engineering patterns that can be adopted across multiple teams

What we’re looking for:

- Strong backend or software engineering experience
- Hands‑on experience building production AI or LLM‑enabled systems
- Strong system design and production ownership
- Experience integrating APIs, services and enterprise data
- Experience with agents, RAG, MCP, tool calling or similar patterns
- Strong understanding of reliability, testing, monitoring and production support
- Experience working in cloud environments
- Willingness and ability to work in Python as part of the role

You do not need to come from a Python‑first background.

We are open to strong engineers from languages such as Node.js/TypeScript, Java, Go, C# and similar backend stacks , provided the software engineering and production AI experience is strong.

What matters most

- What problem did you solve?
- What did you personally build?
- Why did you design it that way?
- What could fail?
- How did you make it reliable?
- How did it perform in production?

This is an opportunity to join a major organisation while its enterprise AI capability is still being built, with the chance to influence how AI systems are designed, governed and operated across the business.

Location: Sydney

Hybrid: 3 days per week in the office

Salary: $160k–$240k package + bonus (flexible for the right person).

Interstate candidates: Must be willing to relocate to Sydney
