About Us
Acusensus pioneers intelligent road safety enforcement solutions that can be rapidly deployed to address road safety challenges. Our mission is changing behaviours, saving lives. Founded in 2018, we combine advanced AI and hardware technology in fixed-location, trailer-based and vehicle-based enforcement solutions. They are used by governments across Australia, the US, the UK and New Zealand to tackle dangerous driver behaviour. We're a global team with some of the best (and smartest) people on the planet, and we solve hard problems together.
The Opportunity
AI adoption is strong at Acusensus, and the team is experimenting with building tools, automations and agents. As our AI Architect, you'll make sure those solutions are secure, connected, documented and built to last. You'll be the bridge between what the business needs and what good engineering looks like.
What you'll do:
- Review AI tools, automations and agents built by employees, and advise on architecture, model and tool selection, and integration patterns
- Assess solutions for security and data governance risk, including data handling, access controls and third-party exposure
- Connect AI solutions to internal systems and data sources, working with the CTO's team to avoid shadow-IT silos
- Troubleshoot hands-on when colleagues get stuck, and lift existing internal tools to enterprise standard (secure, scalable, maintainable and monitored)
- Ensure employee-built tools are documented and transferable so they keep running when people change roles
- Own and maintain the central register of AI tools and agents, mapped to ISO 27001 controls
- Run a repeatable process for assessing AI vendors and data processing agreements, developed jointly with General Counsel
- Provide technical risk input to Legal's AI policies, support incident response, and drive remediation plans when a tool falls short of the standard
About You
You're a technically rigorous AI builder who loves making complex things simple for others, and who knows when good enough is good enough. You'll bring:
- Hands-on experience building multi-agent bots or AI solutions using LLM APIs, automation platforms (such as n8n, Make or Power Automate) or ML frameworks
- A solid grounding in software architecture, API design and enterprise integration patterns
- Working knowledge of cybersecurity as it applies to AI, including data privacy, prompt injection and access controls
- Experience reviewing and guiding work from non-technical or less experienced colleagues
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure or GCP and their AI/ML services
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT or a related field, or at least 5 years of equivalent experience
Experience with data governance frameworks and responsible AI principles is highly regarded. Exposure to OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS or NIST AI RMF is highly regarded.
