Services Australia is at the frontline of government service delivery, supporting millions of Australians, and is central to a vision of becoming a world leader in government service delivery. The agency is using cutting-edge technology to build world-class platforms and capabilities that help Australians access essential services.

Services Australia is seeking experienced Senior AI Engineers and Senior Cloud AI Engineers to support the design, development, implementation and optimisation of enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and cloud-native technology solutions across the Technology and Digital Program (TDP) Group.

These opportunities suit senior technical professionals with expertise in AI software engineering, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, MLOps, solution architecture or enterprise systems integration.

Successful candidates will specialise in either AI software development and engineering or cloud infrastructure and AI platform engineering, contributing to the delivery of secure, scalable and highly available enterprise AI capabilities.

The roles involve working across on-premises, public cloud and hybrid environments,



including greenfield implementations and the enhancement, integration and migration of existing technology platforms.

Candidates will collaborate with Data Scientists, Solution Architects, Cyber Security, Infrastructure and Core Data teams to establish foundational AI capabilities, develop reusable engineering patterns, enforce governance and implement secure-by-design solutions aligned with Australian Government frameworks and regulations.

The successful candidates will operate with a high degree of autonomy, providing technical leadership, specialist advice and guidance across complex technology initiatives. They will be expected to identify opportunities for innovation, resolve complex technical challenges, influence stakeholders and contribute to the strategic direction of enterprise technology solutions.

Applicants with a solid background in either AI software engineering or cloud/platform infrastructure engineering are encouraged to apply. Experience across both disciplines is highly regarded but is not mandatory.
