Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Hatch Full time

Join to apply for the Founding AI Engineer role at Indi.

Location: Sydney, NSW, AU
• Full-time (Aus HQ, global product)

What you'll do
  • Be the cornerstone of AI in the founding team, working deeply with our Product Designer to raise the bar on what an AI-native user experience can be. It's not about deploying AI because we can, we need you to co-create seamless, human-centred interactions.
  • Build the backend infrastructure and tooling needed to productionise these models in a safe, compliant, and scalable way.
  • Shape how Indi delivers intelligence and trust, from experiments through to deploying the frontier of AI-driven product into parents' and practitioners hands.
  • Prototype and evaluate new AI capabilities, working with messy real-world data from families and clinicians.
  • Set the tone for our engineering culture: balancing exploration with rigour, and speed with safety.
  • In your first month, deliver two big wins:
    • Ship a working AI-backed prototype (on top of our conversational, data-driven experience) that demonstrates value to parents or practitioners.
    • Stand up the foundational pipeline/tooling needed to safely iterate and scale AI features beyond prototypes.
Our stack
  • Python, Supabase, React/Next.js, ReactNative
  • Cloud infra (Fly.io, Docker, Postgres)
  • AI tooling (LangGraph, OpenAI API, custom evals)
You may be a good fit if you
  • Are excited about AI-native applications that help families navigate developmental journeys for their kids.
  • Refine your own AI workflows and experiment with techniques that increase building speed and creativity.
  • Have deployed frontier AI-native products, custom models and evals.
  • Care about the societal impacts and ethics of your work.
  • Are ready to hit the ground running with real skills and shipped work behind you.
  • Can showcase an AI project that demonstrates your skills during the interview.
Strong candidates may also have
  • Experience developing for health, education, or family-focused products; or related fields where trust and clarity matter (e.g., fintech, wellbeing, government services).
  • Data Science / ML background to drive product through insight.
  • Deep expertise in AI tooling (TensorFlow, LangChain, etc.) and habit of staying ahead of model releases.
  • Experience in navigating early-stage startup dynamics (speed vs. rigour, ambiguity, culture shaping).
Diversity and inclusion

At Indi, we're building a team that reflects the families we serve. Sharing your identity is optional, and we strive for a fair and inclusive hiring process.

This is a full-time role, but if 3 or 4 days a week works better for you, we're open to that. We care more about finding the right person than strict hours.
