📍 Auckland or Fully Remote (NZ-based only) | 6-Month Contract

🌟 Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just about building models, it’s about enabling others to build safely, efficiently, and at scale. You’ll join the Agentic Platforms team as a hands-on generalist who can think strategically, code practically, and communicate clearly with stakeholders from engineers to executives.

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

• Architecting and evolving AI frameworks and design patterns
• Enabling secure, accurate, and scalable AI agent deployments
• Developing best practice guidelines for internal teams adopting GenAI
• Supporting integrations with SharePoint, Confluence, ServiceNow, and Snowflake
• Collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders to translate complex needs into simple AI-powered solutions
• Driving knowledge sharing and standardisation across teams

✅ Must-Have Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Generative AI development (LLMs, RAG)
• Proven history of building and maintaining AI/ML systems in production
• Confidence designing AI guidelines, frameworks, and patterns others can adopt
• Experience working across large organisations with varied stakeholder groups
• Fluency in Python and solid grounding in AI agent principles
• Familiar with integrating AI into enterprise systems and knowledge stores
• Comfortable with ambiguity, able to take initiative and guide best practice

🌈 Culture & Team Fit

You’ll work alongside passionate AI engineers in a lean, supportive squad. This role is replacing some of the hands-on bandwidth of the AI Engineering Lead, so autonomy, maturity, and strong decision-making are essential. You won’t just build-you’ll enable others to build better.

🔧 Tech Environment

• Python, GenAI, RAG, LLMs
• SharePoint, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Confluence
• Microsoft Copilot Studio, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock/Sagemaker
• Internal agent frameworks & orchestration tools

🏠 Flexibility & Contract Details
