About you
- You're a senior software engineer who has shipped ML-powered features to real users at a commercial product company, and you can talk concretely about how they worked and what you'd do differently

- Python is your primary language and you write clean, production-grade code with strong testing habits
- You're at home working closely with product and design, not just in the codebase
- You enjoy going deep on hard problems rather than jumping between shiny things
- Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or the Hugging Face ecosystem is a plus

- Approx. $160k–220k+ base + super (depending on experience)
- Remote first, anywhere in Australia, or hybrid in Melbourne if you're local
- Five weeks annual leave

- Home office budget and professional development program
