Affinda Group; City of Melbourne; On-site; AUD 89,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

Affinda Group in Cremorne, VIC, is seeking an early-career engineer to build AI solutions for enterprise clients alongside senior engineers. You will work on retrieval systems, agents, and integrations, and you may sit inside the client's team during build and deployment.

You will participate in discovery on site, learn the client's business, and own portions of the build as projects evolve. This role is designed for someone starting out who wants client exposure and hands-on experience with

Qualifications

• Experience building software beyond coursework or shipped projects.
• Strong Python backend development and API knowledge.
• Hands-on AI projects with LLMs, RAG pipelines, or agents.
• AI-native development with multiple problem-solving approaches.
• Willingness to engage with clients in person and in meetings.

Responsibilities

• Build features and services inside client solutions: retrieval pipelines, agents, APIs, integrations into client systems.
• Write and run evaluations. Golden datasets, precision and recall measures, and results that justify a decision.
• Use AI to build. Refine prompts, close the loop between generated code and code that runs and passes tests, and share what works with the rest of the team.
• Attend discovery sessions on site. Ask your questions, including the awkward ones.
• Support production deployment and hand the solution across cleanly. The client's team must be able to run it once we step back.
• Watch cost and security in what you build. Inference costs climb quietly at scale, and a security or compliance concern gets raised the moment you see it.
• Ship in the client's stack. We lean Python, with React when a front end is needed, and you will pick up whatever the client already runs on.
