The Role

We're looking for an AI Engineer to join our newly formed Engineering team in Sydney in a 12 month fixed-term role. Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, and deploying advanced AI solutions that directly support the data-driven decision-making needs of NGS Super's Investment Team.

Your focus will be partnering with the Investment Team to build scalable, secure, and high-performance AI/ML models that optimise investment strategies and product decisions, and contribute to the architecture and delivery of intelligent systems that integrate seamlessly with the Fund's broader technology ecosystem.

What you'll do

• Design, develop and deploy scalable AI/ML models to support investment modelling, forecasting, and optimisation activities.
• Collaborate closely with the Investments Team to translate complex financial and data requirements into robust AI solutions.
• Build and maintain intelligent systems that integrate with existing backend services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
• Apply advanced techniques in natural language processing, graph-based modelling, and supervised/unsupervised learning.
• Develop and maintain secure, production-grade AI workloads using cloud-native tools and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Maintain strong documentation of all design decisions, procedures, and playbooks.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and incident response to ensure quality and maintainability of AI systems.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams including Data Engineers, Backend Developers, and Cloud Engineers to support end-to-end delivery.
• Stay current with emerging AI technologies and recommend improvements or new approaches.

About you

• An analytical and solutions-focused technical engineer, you will bring the following key skills:
• Demonstrated experience designing and deploying AI/ML models in production environments, specifically AWS.
• Strong proficiency in machine learning frameworks and libraries (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).
• Experience with natural language processing, graph-based modelling, and deep learning techniques.
• Solid understanding of data engineering principles and integration with backend systems.
• Familiarity with cloud-native development, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or other relevant languages.
• Proven ability to translate complex business requirements into technical AI solutions.
• Commitment to secure coding practices and compliance with data governance standards.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.

The following are nice to have but not essential:

• Experience working in an APRA-regulated or similar financial services environment.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, including AI/ML services.
• Familiarity with MLOps practices and tools for model lifecycle management.
• Knowledge of financial modelling or investment analytics.
• Relevant certifications in AI/ML, cloud technologies, or data science.
