You’ll personally design, build and deploy agentic AI inside some of the world’s largest logistics customers, owning each implementation end to end, from scoping and integration through to go-live and real adoption. This is forward-deployed engineering, the shape of role that’s still new in Australia and about to be in serious demand. Getting in now means building deep, hard-to-replicate expertise while the field is still forming.\nThe company is building the connective tissue for global trade, giving governments and large enterprises real visibility into their supply chains to manage risks like forced labour, sanctions and security threats. It’s now expanding into logistics, and this role sits right at the front of that push. You’ll be the first delivery hire for this vertical, so you’re not slotting into a machine, you’re shaping how it works.\nAbout you\nPersonally designed, built and deployed agentic AI (LLM agents, tool calling, RAG or multi-agent orchestration) into a live customer environment\n8+ years in customer-facing technical delivery: implementation, forward-deployed engineering, professional services or hands-on technical program management\nStrong Python and SQL, comfortable with APIs, git and cloud, and using AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot daily\nAble to define your own roadmap: writing specs and measurable success criteria, sequencing work by value and risk\nEqually at home running a technical working session and an executive conversation\nEnergised by ambiguity, ownership and genuinely hard problems\nWhy you’ll want this\nBuild real agentic AI into production for major customers, not demos or decks\nWork on a genuinely hard technical problem, a knowledge graph mapping the global supply chain, not a thin wrapper over someone else’s model\nFull ownership of a brand new vertical, with the autonomy to shape it as it grows\nA warm, high-trust, fast-moving team that trusts you to run your own work\nA well-backed company with real momentum, expanding across the region\nFully remote, anywhere in Australia, with flexible hours built around how the work actually gets done\nThis is forward-deployed work with a global team, so expect some follow-the-sun collaboration with colleagues in the UK and US, and meaningful travel to customer sites around the region (up to around half your time in the first six months while you stand up new customers, easing off after that). If that rhythm sounds like your kind of role, you’ll thrive here.\nFind out more\nInterested? Express your interest through this listing and we’ll be in touch. We’re also always keen to hear from strong technical delivery people building with AI, even if the timing’s not quite right here, we’ve got more roles like this in the pipeline.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2784,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T16:11:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.468,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:5","agency","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/look-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/look-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T20:04:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":42422,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2489020},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2489020"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flook-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flook-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flook-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/look-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flook-ahead-staff-ai-deployment-engineer-australia"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3405970}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lookahead.com.au","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3405970},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
