Melbourne - Based

We're working with an AI business helping large enterprises turn AI initiatives into real, production-ready solutions.

This is a hands-on, client-facing engineering role where you'll work directly with senior stakeholders to identify opportunities, design solutions and deliver AI systems that create measurable business impact.

You'll own projects from initial discovery through to production, working across LLMs, agentic AI, cloud platforms and enterprise data environments.

It's a great fit for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working closely with customers and having genuine ownership over what they build.

What you'll be doing

- Lead technical discussions and workshops with enterprise clients, including CTOs and senior stakeholders.
- Design, build and deploy production-grade AI solutions, including RAG pipelines, AI agents and LLM-powered applications.
- Work across leading models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini, selecting the right tools for each use case.
- Integrate AI solutions with enterprise systems, cloud platforms and data environments.
- Own technical architecture, engineering decisions and delivery from concept through to production.
- Establish best practices around AI evaluation, observability, security and reliability.




- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers.

What we're looking for

- 10+ years' experience across software engineering, solutions architecture or technical consulting.
- Strong hands-on experience delivering AI/ML or GenAI solutions into production.
- Proven experience leading technical engagements and working directly with enterprise customers.
- Strong programming skills, with solid foundations in software architecture, APIs and distributed systems.
- Experience with LLMs, RAG, agentic frameworks, vector databases and AI orchestration.
- Strong cloud experience across AWS, Azure or GCP, including CI/CD and containerisation.
- Familiarity with modern data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake or BigQuery.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical teams and senior business stakeholders.

Experience delivering AI solutions in regulated environments, working with LLM evaluation frameworks or contributing to technical strategy would be highly regarded.

Why consider it?

You'll have the chance to work on challenging enterprise AI projects, influence technical decisions and take ownership of solutions from design through to production.

The role offers a strong mix of hands-on engineering, technical leadership and direct customer engagement.
