THE ROLES

BLACKROC is recruiting a cluster of senior AI engineering roles for Brisbane organisations ranging from 40 to 2,000 people, each rebuilding internal systems and tooling around AI. The roles fall into three families:

• Agentic AI: production agents, MCP and tool-calling systems, LLM orchestration
• Applied AI / ML: production ML, search, ranking, RAG and evaluation pipelines
• AI-first Software Engineering: building AI-native internal platforms and tooling, and building them with agents - engineers who direct coding agents across a codebase and own what ships

Some roles sit inside the business alongside operational teams, finding the real problems and shipping the fix. Others sit closer to platform. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, build and operate AI systems in production, end to end
• Work directly with the people who use what you build
• Own evals, latency, cost and failure modes, not just the demo
• Set the standard for how AI is built and governed in businesses doing this for the first time

WHAT YOU BRING

• Deep software engineering fundamentals: you've shipped and run production systems
• Recent hands-on work with LLMs, agents, RAG or ML in production
• You already build with coding agents day to day, and you can tell me where they're wrong
• Strong in Python or TypeScript; comfortable across AWS, Azure or GCP
• Brisbane-based, on-site 3 or 4 days a week. Fully remote isn't available for these roles; must have full working rights.

Two profiles fit: software engineers who've crossed into AI, or AI/ML engineers with serious production engineering underneath.

WHY NOW

• The big names have done this for years. It's now hitting SMEs and the upper mid-market, where there are fewer layers, less governance and sponsorship straight from the C
