Permanent Role | Sydney CBD

Are you just as comfortable in the boardroom as you are in the codebase?

We're seeking a Principal AI Engineer to lead from the front-shaping AI strategy with clients while architecting and delivering advanced, hands-on solutions.

In this senior role, you'll be the bridge between vision and execution: guiding organisations on their AI journey, building production-ready systems, and mentoring teams to deliver excellence.

What You'll Do
  • Partner with stakeholders to understand business challenges and translate them into actionable AI strategies.
  • Design, develop, and deploy AI solutions from concept through to production.
  • Get hands-on with prototyping, coding, and iterating using the latest AI/ML frameworks.
  • Lead workshops and present to executives, turning complex AI concepts into clear business outcomes.
  • Mentor junior engineers and steer cross-functional teams towards high-impact delivery.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, advising on emerging opportunities in AI.
What We're Looking For
  • Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, AI, Mathematics, or related field.
  • Proven track record delivering client-facing AI projects (consulting experience highly valued).
  • Strong technical skills in Python, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and MLOps frameworks.
  • Experience building end-to-end AI stacks (data → infrastructure → model → application/agent).
  • Exceptional communication skills, equally at ease with C-suite executives and technical teams.
  • Microsoft Certified (esp. Azure AI Engineer) highly regarded.
Why Join?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact AI initiatives at a senior level-combining strategic influence with hands-on delivery. You'll work on cutting-edge solutions, engage directly with decision-makers, and lead talented teams in a collaborative, growth-driven environment.

Ready to shape the future of AI?
