Job description

Who is Quantium?

Quantium is a world leader in data science and artificial intelligence. Established in Australia in 2002, Quantium is a global team of more than 1,200 people across 14 locations with a unique blend of capabilities across product and consulting services to help businesses unlock value from data and analytics. Quantium partners with the world’s largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world.

About the role

wiqLabs builds the internal tools and products that power the wider wiq business, and we’re forming a new team to take that further. This is an AI-first engineering team. You’ll work with coding agents every day, steering them, challenging them and shipping quality work quickly. You’ll build tools that are used across the organisation, including CI/CD and deployment infrastructure and conversational analytics products. Because we deliver to the rest of the business, we keep a high bar for technical ability and independence, and we hire people who are already sharp with AI.

How will you make an impact?

• Build AI-enabled solutions: Design and deliver tools and products that teams across wiq rely on every day
• Work with coding agents daily: Use agents as a core part of how you build, and judge quickly whether they are heading in the right or wrong direction
• Shape a new team: Help define how Central AI Assets works, what it builds and how it grows
• Work across the stack: Apply your breadth across backend, frontend and cloud to solve problems end to end
• Share your knowledge: Learn from your teammates and lift the team’s AI engineering practice as you go

The superpowers you’ll be bringing to the team:

• Hands-on AI experience: Genuine experience building AI-enabled solutions, and using coding agents in your day-to-day engineering work
• Technical strength and breadth: You’re a generalist, multidisciplinary engineer with solid general knowledge, rather than a specialist in one language or framework
• Sound judgement: The experience to build a strong gut feel for when an agent’s output is right, and to catch it when it goes the wrong way
• Autonomy: You’re self-directed and comfortable owning problems from idea to delivery
• Curiosity and low ego: You ask great questions, enjoy learning from others and put the team before yourself
• Strong problem solving: You break down complex problems and find practical solutions

Remember – you might not tick all the boxes, but don’t let that from stopping you applying. We’re more interested in how you work, your ability to solve problems and think big.

What could your Quantium Experience look like?

Working at Quantium will allow you to challenge your imagination. You will get to solve complex problems using rigor, precision and by asking great questions – but it also means you can think big, outside the box and push your problem-solving skills to the max.

By joining the Quantium team, you’ll get to:

• Forge your path: So many of our team have moved around different teams or offices. You’ll be in the driver’s seat, and we empower you to make your career your own.
• Find your kind: Embrace diversity and connect with your tribe (think foodies, dog lovers, readers, or runners).
• Make an impact: Leave your mark. Your contributions resonate, regardless of your role or rank.

But wait, there’s more!

We’ve got some pretty sweet perks:

• Flexible work arrangements : Achieve work life balance at your own pace with hybrid and flexible work arrangements.
• Continuous learning : Our vision is empowering analytics talent to thrive. The Analytics Community fosters the development of individuals, thought leadership and technical excellence at Quantium through building strong connections, fostering collaboration, and co-creation of best practice.
• Remote working : Embrace the opportunity to work outside of your assigned home location for up to 30 days every year.
