Graduate Software Engineer

Graduate Software Engineer — AI Product / Distributed Web Systems

Acturia AI are building a modern, AI-first software platform and we’re looking for a small number of smart, ambitious graduate software engineers to join us.

This is not a maintenance role and it is not a large corporate environment where you disappear into one narrow task. You’ll work on real product problems, real users, and real code that ships into production.

You’ll be part of a small team building a connected platform across multiple systems, including backend services, APIs, AI workflows, retrieval pipelines, and frontend product features. The work is broad, practical, and fast-moving. You will be expected to learn quickly, think clearly, and take ownership.

What you’ll work on

• AI-assisted product workflows and LLM-based system behaviour

• Backend services and internal APIs across multiple connected systems

• External integrations and API composition

• Retrieval, structured/unstructured data pipelines, and background processes

• Frontend product development using React and modern web tooling

• Product features that cut across system boundaries, not just isolated tickets

What we’re looking for

• A recent graduate in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

• Strong fundamentals in JavaScript or TypeScript

• Comfortable with SQL and at least one backend framework

• Able to think logically about how systems connect, not just how one page or one app works

• Curious about AI tools, LLM workflows, and modern software development

• Comfortable using AI-assisted coding tools effectively as part of your workflow

• Strong problem-solving ability, clear communication, and willingness to learn quickly

• Someone who wants exposure to real architecture, product thinking, and full-stack delivery

Nice to have

• React and modern frontend tooling

• Node.js experience

• Postgres, Supabase, or similar database experience

• Any project involving APIs, multiple services, RAG, embeddings, or AI workflows

• Side projects, GitHub repos, demos, or technical write-ups that show how you think and build

Why this role is different

• You’ll get exposure across product, backend, frontend, APIs, and AI systems

• You’ll work closely with senior decision-makers and contributors

• You’ll learn how real software is designed, connected, reviewed, and shipped

• Small team, direct feedback, minimal bureaucracy

• Real responsibility from early on

How to apply

• Send a note about yourself, plus anything you’ve built that shows how you think — GitHub, demo, side project, write-up, portfolio, or similar.

• We care far more about evidence of thinking, learning, and building than polished resumes.

• Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Australia.

• Location Macquarie Park NSW, on-site only.
