Help us deliver like never before  

We’re looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer to join our diverse, talented and innovative digital technology team who together are helping our customers and communities build a better future. Together, we design, build and maintain products, services and experiences that Australian's love and trust, while delivering a sustainable future for Australia Post, and you could be part of that.  

 

We're empowered to deliver for our teams and to delight our customers. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures talented people, trusts our teams to deliver their best, and leverages modern work practices and technologies. It's an unexpectedly dynamic and collaborative culture that feels more like a start-up than a 213-year old icon.  

 

What you’ll deliver with us 

As our Senior AI/ML Engineer you will enable the delivery of various AI projects which are our strategic imperative. This is achieved by spearheading engineering and productionisation of advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning models, algorithms and pipelines to solve complex business problems in close collaboration with the data science teams. This role requires a deep understanding and experience of AI and ML, analytics engineering and MLOps principles. 
 
 Reporting directly into the Manager of AI/ML Engineering you will contribute from data preprocessing to model training, evaluation, deployment, integration and monitoring. This includes applying best-practice AI/ML DevOps (aka MLOps) on our solutions while contributing to AI/ML engineering craft growth. This role requires a proactive approach to identifying and addressing potential challenges, ensuring the robustness and reliability of ML/AI models in production and integrated into wider SOP.

 

You’ll also   

• Develop production-grade ML/AI solutions ensuring compliance with the Enterprise Data and AI reference architecture and according to the Enterprise Data Governance standards and Responsible AI standards. 
• Successfully maintain ML/AI assets and business solutions operating on Cloud and our AI/MLOps platform, ensuring model and solution efficacy and availability for the enterprise. 
• Continuously explore new AI/ML technologies and methodologies and support rapid business value discovery ( i.e. piloting and prototyping) for AP to maintain a competitive edge. This includes experimenting with cutting-edge techniques and integrating them into the business. 
• Productionise solutions that leverage ML/AI technologies to deliver business value through improved decision making, process simplification and optimisation, automation, and revenue generation. 
• Ensure that ML/AI models are accurate and reliable. This involves rigorous testing, validation, and continuous monitoring to ensure models perform well under various conditions and do not produce erroneous results. 
• Drive the efficient and sustainable use of Cloud resources and technologies ensuring the development and delivery of high-quality, reliable, efficient and optimised solutions, considering the full lifecycle impact and cost of the technology.

 About you  

We are seeking a pragmatic and flexible individual who can support the development of pilot and PoC-grade assets depending on the business needs and agreed product grading. It is vital to be able to navigate our complex organisation with multiple cross-functional partners and stakeholders to be maintained. Strong practical experience in statistical data analytics and Machine learning is key as well as understanding of code versioning, collaboration, testing, reliability, and accessibility, technologies and standards.

 

You’ll also need   

• Proven experience developing productionised, scaled, maintained and monitored AI/ML solutions and models, leveraging MLOps.
• Experience using Google Cloud Platform (preferred), or other equivalent cloud developer services for Data Science.
• Skilled in coding (Python preferred), or other object-oriented language as well as software engineering techniques.
• Skilled in data preprocessing, feature selection, SQL (BigQuery), scripting and ETL approaches.
• Strong understanding of data and machine learning orchestration and workflow pipeline engineering, development and deployment technologies.
• Practical experience with ML Ops governance standards for sustainable and scalable ML maintenance.
• Experience using enterprise-grade ML/AI platforms such as VertexAI or similar for production-grade Machine Learning and Data Science.
• Strong understanding of ML and AI techniques such as supervised and unsupervised learning, timeseries prediction, ensemble learning, NLP, Generative AI etc.
• Computer Science background who has developed into a Senior AI/ML engineer or experience working in Data Science with exposure to a production environment.

 

How we’ll deliver for you  

• We deliver on our values of Trust, Inclusivity, Empowerment and Safety every day. They’re the TIES that bind our team together.
• Enjoy a generous salary package and company benefits!
