• Family-oriented culture with genuine work-life balance
• Direct impact across multiple innovative product lines

The Opportunity
Join at the perfect moment to help shape the AI future of a growing technology division in Perth, Australia. This isn't about implementing someone else's models – you'll be designing, training, and deploying custom AI/ML solutions that power both internal tools and external products. The team values hands-on experimentation and genuine innovation over corporate processes. You'll work with modern AI infrastructure, from vector databases to self-hosted model serving, while contributing to three distinct product lines with expansion opportunities ahead.

Known for their family-oriented culture that prioritises stability, passion and a collaborative work style. Based in Perth, they're expanding their AI capabilities to stay ahead of industry demands whilst maintaining their commitment to building everything in-house for maximum control and security.
 
The Role
• Build, train, and fine-tune custom ML/AI models including speech-to-text and NLP solutions
• Design and maintain infrastructure for in-house model development and deployment
• Implement LangChain workflows with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus)
• Deploy self-hosted solutions using Ollama for model serving and orchestration
• Optimise models for performance, efficiency, and cost in production environments
• Collaborate with development team on seamless AI integration across product lines
 
Your Fit
• 1+ years hands-on AI/ML engineering experience with real-world applications
• Strong machine learning and deep learning background using TensorFlow, PyTorch, or JAX
• Practical experience with LangChain, vector databases, and Ollama implementations
