I'm working closely with a well-established client in Sydney who is at the forefront of AI innovation. They’ve already deployed multiple production-grade Generative AI models and are now deep into their Agentic AI journey. With a strong, technically mature data science team in place, they’re looking to bring on a Senior or Lead Data Scientist to help drive the next phase of intelligent system development.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business that’s not just talking about AI — they’re delivering it.

The role is both strategic and hands-on, offering the chance to shape product direction, mentor others, and work on some of the most exciting AI use cases in the market.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and deploy GenAI and Agentic AI models in production environments.
- Lead experimentation in areas like autonomous agents, LLM fine-tuning, and multi-modal AI.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate complex challenges into scalable solutions.
- Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to a high-performance team culture.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or AI engineering.
- Proven commercial experience with Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models, etc.) and/or Agentic AI systems.
- Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and MLOps practices.
- Excellent communication and leadership capabilities.
What’s On Offer
- Competitive salary up to $190K + Super.
- Flexible working arrangements with a Sydney-based HQ.
- A mature, well-resourced data science team and strong engineering support.
