This is one of those AI roles that doesn't come around very often.

If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited by building AI products that thousands of businesses will actually use, keep reading.

We're working with one of Australia's best-known SaaS success stories. They've built a platform used by businesses across Australia and New Zealand, and they're investing heavily in AI to shape the next generation of intelligent products.

This isn't a maintenance role. It's a chance to help define what AI looks like across an established product used every day by real customers.

What you'll be working on

You'll join a growing AI team building production-grade machine learning systems and LLM-powered features that solve genuine business problems.

Think things like:

• Building intelligent document understanding capabilities
• Developing AI assistants and conversational experiences
• Creating forecasting and prediction models
• Taking ideas from whiteboard sketches all the way through to production
• Designing scalable AI systems that can support hundreds of thousands of users

If you enjoy building from the ground up rather than endlessly tweaking existing models, you'll feel right at home.

The tech

• Python
• TensorFlow or PyTorch
• Large Language Models (GPT, Claude, Llama or similar)
• AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock, S3 and friends)
• Docker & Kubernetes
• MLOps, CI/CD and deploying models into production

Nobody expects you to tick every box, but you'll be someone who's genuinely passionate about building practical AI systems that make people's lives easier.
What they're looking for They're after someone who enjoys solving hard technical problems, loves experimenting with new ideas and isn't afraid of a bit of ambiguity.

You'll probably have experience:

• Building and deploying machine learning models in production
• Working with LLMs and modern AI tooling
• Designing cloud-native applications
• Owning projects from concept through to deployment
• Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams

Why it's worth a look Aside from working on genuinely interesting AI problems, you'll be joining a business that has the scale, customers and data to build products that actually make an impact.

You'll also get:

• Hybrid working (Melbourne office)
• Strong engineering culture with plenty of autonomy
• Learning budgets, conferences and ongoing development
• Excellent parental leave and wellbeing benefits
• A collaborative team where ideas are encouraged, not buried in meetings
• An impressive benefits package 

If you're looking for a role where you can help shape AI products from the ground up, rather than simply maintaining them, this is well worth a conversation.
