About the role
Senior AI Engineer / AI Architect
Melbourne | 3 Month Contract + Possible Extension | Daily Rate | Hybrid
An Australian travel technology startup is building AI-powered booking tools that make travel planning faster and more personal. They’ve closed their seed round, are targeting Series A in about six months, and need a senior applied AI engineer to design and ship the agent systems the product runs on.
This isn’t a research or traditional ML role. You’ll work in a forward-deployed way: close to the product, building agents that run for long periods, execute real transactions and need to hold up as volume grows. In three months you’ll move the agent platform from where it is today to production-ready.
What you’ll be doing
Halcyon Knights is an equal opportunities employment agency, valuing the contributions made by all people and welcomes applications from people with disability, Aboriginal Australians, people of all ages and from culturally diverse backgrounds.
