About

A lot of data science roles talk about impact.
This one measures it.

You’ll work on AI and GenAI features that sit directly in front of customers. Not internal dashboards. Not experiments that never ship. Real product functionality, where success is defined by whether it improves the experience and holds up in the real world.

This team is embedding ML and LLM capabilities into products used by thousands of customers. That means real constraints, real trade offs, and real accountability. You’ll operate in domains where correctness, trust, and compliance matter just as much as innovation.

They’ve moved past asking “can we build this?”
Now it’s “should we build this, and how do we prove it works?”

What you’ll be doing 
  • Frame hypotheses with product
  • Design experiments beyond launch
  • Prototype and ship GenAI/ML solutions
  • Take ideas from MVP to production
  • Apply NLP, retrieval, forecasting and recommendations
  • Define and track meaningful success metrics
  • Run offline and live experiments
  • Ship with ML engineers and frontend teams
  • Work in regulated, risk aware environments
  • Influence data science practices across the team
Who this suits
  • You’ve shipped customer facing ML or GenAI
  • You have hands on LLM experience
  • You think in hypotheses, not just outputs
  • You’re strong in Python and modern ML tooling
  • You can work effectively with engineers
  • You influence across product and stakeholders
  • You communicate clearly in complex environments
A PhD is welcome but not required. Demonstrated impact matters more.

What’s in it for you
  • Real products, real users, real impact
  • Strong ML and product peers
  • Influence how experimentation is done
  • Melbourne based, in person collaboration preferred
If you’re looking for a role where GenAI is actually in production, experimentation drives decisions, and your work reaches customers, this is worth a conversation.
