Forward Deployed Engineer (AI)

• Up to $260k package + bonus
• Help build a brand-new AI Engineering capability from the ground up
• Deliver production AI solutions with real business impact

We're partnering with a global technology organisation that's making a significant investment in its Australian AI capability.

Rather than joining an established team, you'll become part of a select group of senior engineers helping build something new from the ground up.

This isn't a research role.

It isn't a support role.

And it certainly isn't about building AI demos that never see the light of day.

You'll work alongside senior technical and business leaders to solve complex problems, build production-ready AI solutions and help organisations fundamentally rethink how software is designed, built and delivered.

If you're looking for a role where your work has genuine visibility, ownership and impact, keep reading.

Why this opportunity stands out

• Up to $260k package + bonus
• Join a newly established AI Engineering capability
• Production AI work - not experimentation
• High levels of autonomy and ownership
• Work with modern AI technologies solving real-world problems
• Hybrid working with Melbourne CBD office location
• Significant long-term career growth as the team expands

What You'll Actually Be Doing

No two engagements will look the same.

One week you'll be working directly with senior decision-makers to understand complex business challenges.

The next you'll be designing and delivering production-grade AI solutions that create measurable outcomes.

You'll combine engineering, architecture and consulting to help clients move from "What's possible?" to "Here's what's in production."

You'll own problems from discovery through to delivery, working within small, highly capable teams that value technical excellence and practical outcomes.

We're Interested In People Who...

• Have delivered AI or LLM solutions into production.
• Come from a strong Software Engineering, Platform, DevOps or Architecture background.
• Enjoy solving difficult technical problems.
• Can confidently engage with senior stakeholders.
• Have experience across AWS, Azure or GCP.
• Like working where technology meets business.

Most importantly...

You're someone who enjoys taking ownership, thrives in ambiguity and wants to work on projects where AI is creating genuine commercial impact - not simply ticking a box.

What's on offer?

Alongside an excellent salary and bonus structure, you'll be joining one of the fastest-growing areas of a global organisation that's investing heavily in AI across Australia.

You'll work with exceptional engineers, gain exposure to large-scale transformation initiatives and have genuine influence over how the practice evolves as it grows.

Opportunities to join at this stage are rare.
