What role will you play?

In this role, you will build production-ready AI solutions by integrating services such as OpenAI, Claude, and Azure OpenAI into our platforms, focusing on practical API-driven implementations rather than model training.

Working in an agile environment, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize AI solutions for performance and cost.

What you offer

• Applied AI integration expertise, including hands-on experience with AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Azure OpenAI), prompt design, and cost and performance aware production usage.
• Robust data and database fundamentals, spanning SQL and NoSQL systems, efficient data manipulation with Pandas and NumPy, and sound data modeling and preprocessing skills.
• Cloud platform competency, with practical knowledge of deploying and managing applications on AWS or Azure, including cloud-native services, storage, and serverless concepts.
• Modern DevOps and engineering practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing for scalable, maintainable systems.

What we offer

At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that’s rewarding in all the ways that matter most to you. Macquarie employees can access a wide range of benefits which, depending on eligibility criteria, include:

• 1 wellbeing leave day per year

• Company-subsidised childcare services
• 2 days of paid volunteer leave and donation matching
• Benefits to support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing including comprehensive medical and life insurance cover, the option to join parental medical insurance plan and virtual medical consultations extended to family members
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program, a robust behavioural health network with counselling and coaching services
• Access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities, including reimbursement for professional membership or subscription
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements, dependent on role
• Reimbursement for work from home equipment
