  • Collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and commercial leads to solve critical client challenges.

  • Leading technical scoping and architectural decisions to ensure project feasibility and impact.

  • Defining and implementing Faculty’s standards for deploying machine learning at scale.

  • Acting as a technical advisor to customers and partners, translating complex ML concepts for stakeholders.

 
Who we're looking for
 
  • You understand the full machine learning lifecycle and have experience operationalising models built with frameworks like Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.

  • You possess strong Python skills and solid experience in software engineering best practices.

  • You bring hands-on experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including architecture and security.

  • You've worked with container and orchestration tools such at Docker & Kubernetes to build and manage applications at scale

  • You are comfortable with core ML concepts, including probability, statistics, and common learning techniques.

  • You're an excellent communicator, able to guide technical teams and confidently advise non-technical stakeholders.

  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy the autonomy to own scope, solve and delivery solutions

 
Our Interview Process
 
  • Talent Team Screen (30 minutes)

  • Pair Programming Interview (90 minutes)

  • System Design Interview (90 minutes)

  • Commercial Interview (60 minutes)

Our Recruitment Ethos

We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.

If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.

A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
