AI Automation & Architecture Lead
Kogan.com
South Melbourne, VIC
Full Time / Permanent
This is not a standard AI role.
At Kogan.com, you will sit at the centre of how we rethink the business through AI. Working directly with the CEO and CTO, you will lead high-impact initiatives while embedding intelligent automation across every function.
We are looking for someone who doesn't just experiment with AI, but builds real systems that scale. Someone who understands how to turn cutting-edge tools into a measurable competitive advantage.
If you are already operating at the frontier of autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, and AI-driven software development, this role gives you the mandate and backing to go further.
What you’ll be doing:
- Serving as Kogan.com’s AI Evangelist, driving adoption and innovation across the entire organization.
- Working one-on-one with the CEO/CTO on high-impact, special projects to give us an unfair competitive advantage.
- Rapidly prototyping and deploying production-ready software using AI-assisted "vibe coding."
- Architecting and deploying autonomous agents (OpenClaw, OpenHands, LangGraph) to automate complex workflows in supply chain, marketing, and customer service.
- Designing Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) workflows to ensure AI bots have appropriate guardrails and approval gates before executing high-stakes production tasks.
- Connecting AI agents securely to our e-commerce stack, ERPs, CRM, and internal databases.
What you'll need:
- Strong foundation in computer science, systems architecture, and API integrations.
- Proven experience with the absolute latest AI automation tools, multi-agent frameworks, and advanced workflow builders (n8n, Make.com).
- Deep understanding of AI security protocols, containerization (Docker), and permission allowlists to protect enterprise data from prompt injections and rogue agent behavior.
- Strong commercial awareness of LLM API costs to prevent resource drain and optimize token usage.
- A relentless passion for AI and a habit of staying three steps ahead of industry trends.
