This business is building a full enterprise platform to power agentic automation across every function of the organisation. You’ll join a newly formed engineering unit tasked with building the foundations: enterprise agents, reasoning systems, knowledge graph integration, and the underlying cloud-native platform.

This is greenfield, high-impact engineering where your work becomes the backbone of large-scale automation across thousands of users.

What you’ll work on You’ll be building the core capabilities needed for an enterprise to operate AI-first:

  • Building scalable backend services and AI pipelines in Python, Java, and GCP
  • Integrating with Vertex AI, orchestration tools, and knowledge graph services
  • Shaping the architecture for a unified platform that future AI products will be built on
  • Shipping production-quality engineering that supports mission-critical operations

  • Ability to work across ingestion, orchestration, and platform components
AI & Agentic Systems
  • Experience building or integrating LLM-powered systems
  • Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, ADK, similar)
  • Ability to design and implement RAG, vector search, and retrieval patterns
  • Understanding of LLMOps, model deployment, monitoring, and experimentation
