AI Engineer

Build production AI features end to end: assistants, retrieval, agents and automations that solve real business problems, shipped into live products with real users.

Contract to startRemote across AustraliaPosted 7 Sept 2026

What you will do.

Real production work on live systems, not research.

  1. 01

    Design and build LLM-powered features: chat and voice assistants, retrieval-augmented generation, summarisation, extraction and classification over real business data

  2. 02

    Build agents and automations that take actions in live systems, with the guardrails, permissions and audit trails that make that safe

  3. 03

    Write and maintain evaluation suites so quality is measured, not vibes: golden sets, regression checks and cost and latency budgets

  4. 04

    Take features from prototype to production: monitoring, fallbacks, rate limits and graceful failure when a provider has a bad day

  5. 05

    Work directly with the people who will use what you build, and explain technical trade-offs in plain language

What you will bring.

If you have most of this and can show it, apply.

  • Shipped LLM-backed features to production, not just notebooks and demos
  • Strong Python or TypeScript, and the engineering habits that go with production code: tests, review, observability
  • Hands-on experience with the major model APIs, embeddings, vector search and prompt design under real constraints
  • A working sense of when AI is the wrong tool, and the honesty to say so
  • Clear written and spoken communication with non-technical people

Nice to have

  • Experience with agent frameworks or building tool-using agents from scratch
  • Fine-tuning or small-model distillation for cost or latency wins
  • Security awareness around prompt injection and data leakage in LLM apps
