We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help drive one of the most exciting AI transformations in a leading Australian Financial Institution.
In this role, you'll play a hands-on technical leadership role in building the application layer that ingests, transcribes, analyses, and summarises customer calls using GenAI frameworks, LLMs, and cloud-native tools. You'll join a newly-formed, high-performing squad within a major financial institution, working on a greenfield platform built for long-term impact.
🔧 What You'll Be Doing
- Building scalable applications in Python to integrate AI models with real-world data and CRM workflows
- Working with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Whisper, Bedrock, and OpenAI
- Deploying and optimising GenAI systems on AWS, integrating with APIs, microservices, and data platforms
- Collaborating with product owners, platform teams, and other engineers to deliver elegant, reliable solutions
- Helping shape best practices for GenAI delivery, engineering culture, and solution architecture
✅ What We're Looking For
- Deep hands-on experience with Python engineering (ideally beyond scripting - building production apps or services)
- Strong understanding of GenAI concepts, including RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration, and model integration
- Experience deploying applications in AWS environments (e.g., Lambda, Bedrock, SageMaker, ECS/EKS)
- Proficiency with microservices, REST APIs, and backend application architecture
- Excellent communication and stakeholder skills - we want someone who can thrive in a high-trust, cross-functional team
🌱 Nice to Have
- Experience with agentic frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel)
- Familiarity with speech-to-text models (e.g., Whisper, Azure OpenAI) or summarisation systems
- Previous experience in banking, fintech, or large enterprise environments
📍 The Details
- Hybrid model - 2-3 days onsite in Sydney CBD
- Greenfield project with significant runway (multi-year roadmap)
- Competitive day rate for top-tier engineers
- Initial 6-12 month engagement, with long-term extension potential
This is a rare opportunity to work at the frontier of GenAI within a large-scale, real-world environment. If you're passionate about building intelligent systems that deliver meaningful impact - we want to hear from you.
