Most people will spend the next few years watching AI change how businesses work. You could spend them building it.

We are looking for an Associate Forward Deployed Engineer who wants to start their career at the front of the biggest shift in business in a generation.

Who we are

We believe the world of business is about to be completely rewritten. Agentic AI is not another software trend. It is the biggest shift in how businesses operate that we will see in our lifetime, and every workflow, process and system inside a business is now up for redesign.

Appliers.AI works at the absolute forefront of that shift. We go inside businesses, map how the work actually gets done, and rebuild it: the software they run on, the systems that hold them back and the repeatable work that burns valuable people out. We work in three stages, Discover, Optimise and Apply. This is enterprise transformation, delivered in weeks rather than years.

Our mission is simple: automate the repeatable so we can humanise the exceptional.

We are built by operators, not theorists. We have built the methodology, proven the model and delivered the results. Now exceptional businesses are lining up to work with us, partnerships are forming and we are growing fast. That is why we are hiring across the business, and we will not lower the bar.

The role

You will work alongside our senior Forward Deployed Engineers on live client engagements. You will build features, integrations and AI agents, sit in on client sessions, and take on more responsibility as you prove yourself. You will learn how businesses really operate as much as how to write good code, and you will learn both faster here than almost anywhere else.

What you will do

- Build and ship software, integrations and AI agents under the guidance of a senior engineer.




- Use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code every day to move quickly and safely.
- Join client sessions, listen closely, and turn what you hear into working changes.
- Test, document and support what you build after it goes live.
- Help with internal tools, data clean-up and automation across the business.

What you bring

- A degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems or similar, or equivalent self-taught experience.
- Projects you have built and can show us, whether from study, work or your own time.
- Working knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript or Python.
- Clear communication and the confidence to speak with clients.
- A strong work ethic and the drive to improve quickly.
- Conviction. You already build with AI tools because you cannot help it, and you believe this is the next wave.

Why Appliers

- You will work at the absolute forefront of AI and enterprise transformation, on real clients and real systems from your first month.
- Join us early. This space is completely frontier, and we are an early-stage business that is growing rapidly month on month.
- We are about to expand internationally, and there is a huge opportunity for the people who start early in this business.
- Close mentoring from senior engineers and the founders.
- A clear path to Forward Deployed Engineer as your skills grow.
- Work is mainly done from our Melbourne office and on site with clients, side by side with the team. That is where our culture is built.

How to apply

This is not just a job. It is a chance to help redefine how businesses operate. If that is you, we would love to hear from you.
