About This Opportunity

We are looking for an AI Engineer who builds things that matter. You will design and ship end-to-end AI solutions for some of APAC's most complex enterprise problems - spanning agentic AI systems, LLM applications, and production ML pipelines. This is a hands-on engineering role embedded within a customer-facing field team, meaning your work will be seen, used, and evaluated by real enterprises from day one.

You will work alongside Kaggle Grandmasters, ML engineers, and domain experts to deliver AI that goes beyond demos - into production, into workflows, and into measurable business outcomes.

This position is based in Sydney, Australia.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications, machine learning models, and agent-based systems using the H2O AI platform.
• Contribute to end-to-end ML workflows including data preparation, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Build production-ready AI features integrating predictive ML, GenAI, RAG, and LLM-based components.
• Develop backend services and APIs connecting AI models, data sources, and applications.
• Support implementation of AI solutions in customer environments, including predictive and GenAI use cases.
• Assist in technical workshops, demos, and enablement sessions.
• Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional teams on reusable components and reference architectures.
• Communicate technical work clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in AI, machine learning, data science, or software engineering roles.
• Strong understanding of predictive ML (feature engineering, training, evaluation, interpretation).
• Experience building and deploying ML or AI applications in production or production-like environments.
• Exposure to GenAI: LLMs, SLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, or agentic systems.
• Strong Python programming and software engineering fundamentals (testing, debugging, version control, CI/CD).
• Experience building APIs or backend services.
• Basic understanding of cloud platforms and MLOps/LLMOps concepts.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

How to Stand Out From the Crowd

• H2O product experience.
• Exposure to full-stack or application development.
• Hackathon, internship, or open-source experience.
• Understanding of model governance or enterprise AI workflows.
• Experience with enterprise or regulated data.
