This is not a normal engineering role, and Appliers.AI is not a normal company.

We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to go inside our clients' businesses and rebuild the way they operate.

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 good people out. We work in three stages, Discover, Optimise and Apply. This is enterprise transformation, delivered in weeks rather than years.

Our mission is straightforward: 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 are not an engineer. You have an engineering background, and you are a builder who can join the dots between technology, people and commercial outcomes.

You will be embedded with a small portfolio of clients, typically around three at a time, and spend a large part of your week on site with them.



You will take the outcomes of our Discovery and Optimise work and turn them into production software and AI agents that change how the business runs. You own delivery for your clients from the first build to go-live and beyond.

Every two weeks, the question is simple: what practical change did you make for the client, and are they happy with it?

What you will do

- Work on site with client teams and stakeholders at every level, learning how their operation really runs.
- Design, build and ship production software, integrations and AI agents using agentic coding tools.
- Connect the systems clients already rely on, including ERPs, CRMs, ecommerce platforms and finance tools.
- Migrate data from legacy systems and make sure every record reconciles.
- Deliver working change in short cycles and show the result, not a status report.
- Keep projects on scope and within the fixed price agreed with the client.
- Build trust across the client's business, and spot the next opportunity to help.

What you bring

- Strong engineering foundations and a track record of shipping real software to production.
- Experience building integrations with REST APIs, webhooks and authentication such as OAuth.




- Experience working directly with clients or business users, whether in consulting, solutions engineering, an agency or a forward deployed role.
- Deep, daily use of LLMs, AI agents and agentic coding tools such as Claude Code.
- Experience with ERP systems such as NetSuite, Oracle or SAP is highly regarded.
- The judgement to manage several clients at once and to know what not to build.
- Clear communication with both technical and non-technical people.
- Conviction. You do not need convincing that the world has shifted. You can see it, and you want to be at the front of it.

Why Appliers

- You will work at the absolute forefront of AI and enterprise transformation, on real clients and real systems. What you build runs the next morning.
- 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.
- 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.
- A quality bar we do not lower, and the chance to shape how an AI-native company delivers software.

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.

Apply here on LinkedIn or at appliers.ai/careers. Links to work you have built matter more than a polished CV. We reply to every application within a week.
