Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Vern Full time
Overview

AI data conversion | Co-founder at Vern, ex-Employment Hero

Vern removes migration friction so customers go live faster, with fewer errors and no endless manual work. We're building AI agents to automate data conversion to help software companies onboard customers faster. No more CSV hell. No more months-long integrations. Just clean, automated migrations that get customers into products where they belong. We are early (beta) and venture backed by Antler. We're looking for a builder who wants to own big chunks of product and work directly with customers shaping it.

About the role: This is a hybrid role (we support domestic relocation to Sydney). You'll work across engineering and customer conversations—one day hacking on data transformation pipelines, the next on a call with a customer to understand where their migration process breaks.

The role

You should be proactive and take ownership rather than waiting for a spec. High agency is the number one requirement.

What you'll do
  • Build features end-to-end
  • Sit in on customer calls to understand pain points firsthand
  • Ship scrappy experiments, learn fast, and double down on what works
  • Help shape product direction and engineering culture from day one
What we're looking for
  • Strong experience with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, AWS
  • Hands-on with AI/LLMs for data conversion, ETL, or automation
  • Comfortable talking to customers and translating needs into features
  • Bias to action — you'd rather ship and iterate than wait
  • Equity-heavy offer: A$70-100k + 0.5–2.0% ownership
  • Renumeration will be reassessed following next fund raise in Q1 2026
  • Be the founding engineer—your fingerprints will be all over the product
  • Work directly with customers, founders, and investors
  • Early ownership, outsized impact
  • Free Vern merch
Role details
  • Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
  • Employment type: Full-time
  • Job function: Engineering and Information Technology
  • Industries: Software Development
