Because of their immense growth in their portfolio in the big data platform, multiple exciting opportunities have come up in one of their offices in Sydney. Are you a skilled AI practitioner who thrives on moving beyond simple experimentation to deliver true, production-grade business outcomes? Join a growing enterprise AI Centre of Excellence and work at the frontier of applied AI. As a senior technical authority embedded within product and domain squads, you will shape the architecture, evaluation methodology, and technical culture of the AI function.

- Design and implement prompting strategies, retrieval pipelines, and context assembly to determine high-quality agent behavior.
- Embed rigorous evaluation strategies for probabilistic systems, including offline evaluations and online experimentation.
- Implement strong observability across AI systems, including behavioral drift detection, anomaly monitoring, and incident classification.
What You Need to Apply for This Role:
- Strong experience delivering applied AI/ML systems into production, with exposure to LLMs and agentic architectures preferred.
- Hands-on expertise in building automated evaluation pipelines, runtime controls, and CI/CD integration for AI systems.
- Strong foundations in statistics, probability, and experimental design to design rigorous experiments and quantify uncertainty.
- Familiarity with prompt and context engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool use patterns, and agent orchestration.
- Experience operating in cloud-native environments and collaborating in cross-functional product, engineering, and risk squads.
