As we continue to grow our Data and AI Practice, we are looking for talented AI Engineers who are passionate about building practical, secure and scalable AI solutions.

The Opportunity As an AI Engineer, you will design, build and deploy sophisticated conversational and agentic AI solutions that orchestrate data, workflows and decisions.

You will work across the full engineering lifecycle from solution design and prototyping through to integration, deployment and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to solve complex problems, experiment with emerging technologies and help customers move AI solutions into production.

What You Will Do

• Design, build and deploy conversational and agentic AI applications, to develop high-quality, modular and maintainable solutions using Python. Build solutions using large language models, LangChain and other orchestration frameworks.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Will Set You Apart We are particularly interested in people who see AI as a craft and not simply another technology.

You will be naturally curious, proactive and committed to continuous learning. You should be able to demonstrate your interest in AI through personal projects, open-source contributions, technical experimentation, research or ongoing self-development.

Why Join Novon? At Novon, you will join a highly connected and specialised community of Data, Engineering and AI professionals. You will have the opportunity to work with experienced practitioners, contribute to meaningful customer outcomes and help shape our growing AI capability.

Our culture is guided by four values:
