Job description

A senior or intermediate engineer who wants to grow from building into technical advisory work.

ElementX is a leading AI company based in Auckland, serving clients worldwide. We apply AI to complex business and social problems where it can make a real-world difference. We’ve been designing, building and deploying enterprise AI since 2013, and we’ve had systems running in production for over thirteen years. Our values: be people-first, go above and beyond, take initiative, and last but not least; make things fun!

We’re looking for another Full Stack AI Engineer to join our small, highly capable engineering team, reporting into our Professional Services Lead. This is a role for an engineer who wants to grow into technical consulting. You’ll start hands on, producing high quality outcomes across a variety of projects from highly innovative and interesting to more routine maintenance and support, with the best AI tools in the industry to supercharge your workflow. From there you’ll follow a deliberate pathway into technical advisory work: joining early stage customer conversations, scoping and shaping proposals, running smaller advisory engagements and representing ElementX at events.

To be considered suitable for this role, you will have an intermediate or senior level background in full stack software development, ideally with Typescript or Python. You’ll be up to date with the latest AI tooling and use it in your own work, with a feel for how organisations operate and where the opportunities sit. Ideally you’ll also have some capability with solution design, front end development, databases, cloud infrastructure or DevOps. Any experience with Kubernetes, consulting or team leadership would be beneficial. With exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, you’ll be outgoing, comfortable in front of customers and curious to keep growing.

Our hiring process is simple: an intro call to get to knoweachother, then a technical conversation, a panel with theteam, and an offer to the right candidate, subject toreference checks.

ElementX is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on capability and fit, and welcome applications from candidates of any background. New Zealand work rights are required for most roles unless explicitly stated otherwise.
