Software Engineer AI

My client is an Australian owned technology consultancy moving to a new way of building software, where engineers write specs and direct AI coding tools.  You'll split your time between hands on feature delivery inside a product squad and helping build out the tooling and practices that make this way of working stick.
  
What's involved
  • Designing and building AI-driven features and the systems that support them, working closely with a senior technical lead
  • Writing the specs that drive AI-assisted implementation
  • Building integrations for agent tooling, including MCP connections and secure tool-calling setups
  • Setting the bar on testing, secure coding practices and how AI-generated output gets evaluated
  • Helping other engineers pick up spec-first workflows and get comfortable working alongside coding agents
What you'll bring
  
  • Solid engineering fundamentals, not tied to one stack, with good judgement on architecture
  • Real hands-on time with agent loops, MCP servers or similar tool-calling setups, ideally already working spec-first
  • Working knowledge of at least one major model provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex AI) and familiarity with MCP; LangChain or LangGraph
  • Full stack experience
  
The details
  • 6 month initial contract, $700 a day plus GST
  • Melbourne based, 2 to 3 days a week in office
