About this role

Primary Objective: Act as a senior, hands-on technologist within the Advanced Software Engineering

Practice. The ideal candidate is a true polyglot across software engineering and cloud domains, with

practical hands-on experience in Al engineering. This role demands an adaptable leader capable of

context-switching across multiple complex client engagements-from analysing hybrid systems to

building modern Al-infused platforms-while seamlessly navigating rapidly changing technology and

business contexts.

. Polyglot Execution: Architect and implement high-performance solutions across varied technology
stacks (e.g., Python, Go, Java, TypeScript) and application architectural paradigms.
. Cloud-Agnostic Leadership: Lead technical delivery, architectural reviews, and migration planning
across any major cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) and hybrid environments.
. Hands-on Al Engineering: Design, integrate, and operationalize complex technology solutions, including
orchestration & accelerators.
. Multi-Engagement Management: Handle multiple, simultaneous client portfolios. Rapidly digest new
business domains, assess technical debt, and pivot strategies based on changing client needs.
. Strategic Consulting: Act as a trusted technical advisor to client executives and engineering teams,
translating deeply technical concepts into clear business outcomes.
Requirements

Required Technical Skills:

. Polyglot Software Engineering: Deep, hands-on expertise in multiple programming languages and
modern distributed architectures (Microservices, Event-Driven, Serverless).
. Multi-Cloud & Migration Proficiency: Advanced capabilities across Azure, AWS, and/or GCP. Proven
experience auditing existing infrastructures, capacity profiling, and designing target state architectures
for complex cloud migrations.
. Modern DevOps & laaC: Mastery of Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep ) and robust CI/CD
pipeline automation.

Soft Skills & Consulting Experience:

. Extreme Adaptability: Thrives in ambiguous, high-pressure environments where technology stacks and
business requirements evolve constantly.
. Cognitive Flexibility: Exceptional ability to context-switch between disparate projects, client cultures,
and technical constraints without losing momentum.
. Executive Communication: Highly effective at presenting complex architectural findings and migration
roadmaps to both technical stakeholders and C-level executives.
. Local Market Presence: Melbourne-based, with the ability to foster strong relationships within the local
tech ecosystem and client base.

Nice to have [At least 12 months experience]:

. Hands-on Al Engineering: Design, integrate, and operationalize applied Al solutions, including LLM
orchestration, RAG architectures, and Al-driven accelerators.
. Applied AI / ML: Practical experience building with foundational models, agentic frameworks, prompt
engineering, and deploying models to production (MLOps/LLMOps).
