Principal AI Engineer
$200–$250k + Super + Equity
Melbourne (Hybrid)
If you’ve built any meaningful consumer product before, you’ll know how unforgiving real users are. This team gets it. The founders have done it once already, exited successfully and are now building an AI-driven platform that demands the same product quality and speed.
This isn’t research, it’s not conceptual and you won’t be polishing diagrams. This is production AI with real usage, real customers and real pressure. If you love that environment, you’ll thrive.
