Senior Python Developer
Summary
Senior Python engineer building and operating production-grade backend services and enterprise AI workflows (agents, RAG, MCP, LLM evaluation) for a large enterprise, hybrid with 3 office days per week in Sydney. Core stack: Python, LLM agent frameworks (LangGraph/LangChain/Google ADK), cloud (GCP/AWS/Azure), CI/CD and containers.
This is a software engineering role first, with Python at the centre. You’ll design, build and operate backend services and AI-enabled workflows used across customer-facing and internal platforms, with a strong focus on production quality, reliability and scalability.
What you’ll be working on
You’ll build and support:
- Python backend services and APIs
- Production agentic AI workflows
- RAG and enterprise knowledge solutions
- MCP integrations and AI-enabled tooling
- Human-in-the-loop and headless agent workflows
- LLM evaluation and quality frameworks
- Enterprise integrations with internal platforms and data sources
- CI/CD, containerised deployment and production observability
You’ll ideally have:
- Strong commercial Python development experience
- Deep backend software engineering fundamentals
- Experience designing scalable, maintainable production systems
- Hands-on experience with LLMs, agents, RAG or MCP
- Exposure to frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain or Google ADK
- Experience with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS or Azure
- Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, testing, CI/CD and production support
- Ability to explain design decisions, trade-offs and failure scenarios clearly
We’re particularly interested in engineers who have moved beyond prototypes and have built real production AI systems.
Relevant experience could include:
- Agent orchestration
- Retrieval and grounding
- Prompt and agent evaluation
- Guardrails and human oversight
- Model integration
- Observability and regression testing
- AI-assisted software delivery
This is a chance to work on enterprise-scale AI engineering in an environment where Python, software engineering and production AI are all central to the role.
You’ll remain hands-on while contributing to architecture, engineering standards and the evolution of AI-enabled systems across the organisation.
We are looking for both mid-level and senior developers. Salaries range between $160,000 - $240,000 plus bonus.
3 days in the office per week.
