From mobile apps to beautifully designed web platforms and digital experiences, we create solutions that drive impact and deliver exceptional customer outcomes.\nOur culture is people-first and purpose-driven. We’re a down-to-earth, values-led team with offices in Sydney and Melbourne, and a growing presence in Manila. We genuinely enjoy working together, whether we’re solving tough tech problems, brainstorming creative solutions, or grabbing a coffee between meetings. Curiosity is encouraged. Collaboration is second nature.\nWe value excellence, not ego, and back each other to do great work without micromanagement. With low politics and high trust, it’s a place where delivery people, designers, and engineers genuinely connect, and where everyone has a voice, space to grow, and a little fun along the way.\n THE ROLE\nAs an AI Architect at Bilue, you’ll own the technical shape of the AI systems we build for clients across a broad range of industries. Working in our Applied AI Practice, you’ll design agentic and LLM powered solutions end to end, lead their security, compliance and evaluation design, and stay hands on enough to build what you design.\nYou’ll also be the most technical AI person on the project, and sometimes across several projects at once, so you’ll bring the leadership to set direction, make the calls that matter and keep delivery on track. You’ll upskill and mentor Biluers in AI, and share what you learn across the company so the whole team benefits.\nSound judgement matters as much as technical skill. You’ll know how to validate what AI produces, question the results, and make the call on what’s ready for the real world.\nWith strong commercial acumen, you’ll also work closely with clients and with our sales and operations teams to help win new work, shape strong proposals and set the reference architectures that make every Applied AI engagement faster and more reliable than the last.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nLead architecture discovery and design for AI solutions, including agentic workflows, LLM integrations, knowledge pipelines and document AI\n\nAct as the technical lead on AI engagements, sometimes across several projects at once, setting direction and making the calls that matter\n\nDesign systems with clear schemas, evaluation loops and validation gates so outputs are accurate, explainable and ready for production\n\nStay hands on, prototyping and building the critical pieces so what you design is proven to work\n\nOwn security design and compliance guardrails for AI in regulated environments, from data residency and in region inference to human approval gates\n\nDesign and deliver AI solutions that align with relevant ISO standards, working within Bilue’s management systems and supporting client assurance and audit requirements\n\nIntegrate AI into enterprise platforms and data, working with engineers to keep the architecture intact from proof of concept through to production\n\nGuide model, platform and vendor choices, weighing cost, risk and fit for each client, and capture the reasoning in clear decision records\n\nPartner with sales and operations teams on discovery, proposals and estimates, setting out trade offs clearly for technical, executive and risk audiences\n\nOwn and evolve Bilue’s reference architectures, accelerators and standards for production grade AI, including evaluation, observability and cost\n\nBuild reusable platform components and frameworks that cut delivery time and lift reliability, so AI capability grows at platform level rather than project by project\n\nMentor software engineers, designers, BAs and delivery managers and share knowledge across the wider company through our communities of practice, company showcases, workshops and pairing\n\nUse AI responsibly and in line with Bilue’s AI policies, treating it as a tool to work smarter while keeping human judgement at the centre of your decisions\n\n WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\nMindset & Experience\nReal craft in AI engineering, with a track record of shipping AI systems to real users rather than stopping at the prototype\n\nSound judgement, with the instinct to test, challenge and validate what AI produces before it goes near production\n\nA consultative approach that helps clients decide what’s worth building\n\nA gift for communication, explaining AI risk and trade offs as clearly to a compliance lead as to an engineer\n\nStrong commercial acumen, and comfort working with sales and operations teams on discovery, proposals and estimates\n\nConfident leading through influence, setting technical direction and lifting the engineers, designers, BAs and delivery managers around you\n\nCurious by nature, with the confidence to back your view and the openness to change it when the evidence shifts\n\nExperience in regulated industries such as financial services, insurance or government\n\nA genuine fit with our values: no cure for curiosity, lend a hand and do the right thing\n\nTechnical Skills\nProven experience as an AI Architect, Lead AI Engineer or Solution Architect, delivering production AI on AWS, Azure or GCP (including Bedrock, Azure OpenAI or Vertex AI)\n\nStrong Python and TypeScript (Java beneficial), with hands on experience in agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AgentCore or OpenAI Agents, along with memory frameworks and vector databases\n\nSolid grounding in RAG, knowledge pipelines and document AI\n\nData engineering depth, including ETL/ELT, streaming and large or unstructured data, plus distributed systems design\n\nEvaluation driven delivery, including evaluation harnesses, structured outputs, observability and LLMOps practices such as prompt versioning and cost monitoring\n\nSolid grounding in enterprise integration, APIs, microservices, data pipelines and AI security, including guardrails, red teaming and de-identification\n\nFamiliarity with ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, and designing AI that stands up to client assurance and audit\n\n LIFE AT BILUE\nConnection that counts\nFrom monthly Anchor Days and team lunches to our annual offsite, we create intentional moments to connect, collaborate, and celebrate. These are not just fun perks. They are part of how we work and grow together.\nFlexibility that works\nWe offer hybrid working, with a mix of days in the office and at home. This gives you the space to do your best work, while still creating time to connect and build strong relationships in person.\nStrong internal communities\nWe actively foster internal communities across tech, design, delivery, AI and beyond, giving you plenty of chances to connect, share knowledge, and learn from your peers.\nOpportunities to grow\nWe invest in your development with unlimited access to our learning library, partnership networks and certification pathways, plus support from our internal performance coach. Whether you want to deepen your technical skills or grow your leadership potential, we will back you.\nFlat structure, real impact\nAt Bilue, everyone's voice matters.
