Location: Sydney, NSW (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Full-time, permanent

Level: Mid-level (3-5 years' experience)

Team: Technology The role

We're building an AI-first engineering team. We want an engineer who builds with agents and builds agents: someone who comes up with ideas, proves them fast with POCs, and ships the winners to production, safely, in a regulated insurance environment. You'll work within our guardrails, and when you see a better way, you're free to propose it and build it.

What you'll do

- Build and prove: Build POCs quickly with LLMs, agents and MCP. Define success metrics up front and use evals to show quality, cost and business value before anything scales
- Engineer spec-first: Write requirements → design → tasks, hand execution to AI coding agents (Claude Code, Kiro) under human review, and keep specs, steering docs and CLAUDE.md in sync with the code
- Build reusable agent tooling: Package workflows as skills, subagents, hooks, plugins and MCP servers the whole team can reuse. Use hooks, not prompts, for rules that must always hold
- Orchestrate agents: Pick the right pattern (orchestrator/worker, pipeline, fan-out, routing), or one agent when one will do. Handle state, retries,



token budgets and human approval gates, and run agents headless in CI/CD
- Ship and govern: Turn POCs into tested, observable services and RAG pipelines. Protect personal information, enforce permissions, keep audit trails and set agent autonomy boundaries
- Improve the framework: Spot bottlenecks and pitch stack changes backed by evidence

Requirements

What you'll bring

- 3+ years in software engineering, including shipping LLM-powered applications
- Agentic coding: Daily use of AI coding agents in real delivery work. You know when to use a skill vs a subagent vs a hook vs MCP
- Spec-driven delivery: You've written specs an agent executed and reviewed its output critically
- Agent orchestration: You've built at least one multi-step or multi-agent workflow and know how agents fail
- Strong fundamentals: Python and TypeScript/Node, API design, testing, CI/CD and AWS (or another major cloud)
- RAG, evals and LLMOps: You've built a retrieval system and an eval harness, and instrumented tracing, cost and latency
- Security mindset: You design against prompt injection, data leakage and excess agent permissions, and you're sceptical of complexity for its own sake
