It redefines how enterprises build digital products and transform their organizations with AI. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company.\nWe are small enough to care locally, big enough to deliver globally (10 countries, 450+ experts from 50+ nationalities)\n\nWe are becoming an agentic organization, adopting the AI-native operating model we bring to our clients.\n\nWe are robust and resilient (100% independent, 0 debt, founded 2009)\n\nWe are AI-native professionals who invest in what we believe and work as a collective intelligence\n\nWe are positive, courageous and deliver at the leading edge\n\nYour Role\nThis role suits people passionate about AI and about reinventing software engineering to deliver faster, higher-quality products. You will join a team exploring every day how to evolve our ways of working to be AI-First and what's possible with rapidly advancing LLMs and AI coding tools.\nAs an AI-Native Engineer, you will build AI-powered products and solutions for our clients, contributing across the journey from discovery and scoping through pilot and production to adoption.\nThe work is varied: deploying an agentic AI workflow inside a major health insurer, standing up an AI-powered platform for a bank, or designing intelligent automation for a public sector agency. Our clients are Fortune 1000s across financial services, health, and the public sector, and the problems are real, ambiguous, and production-bound.\nThe foundation is full-stack engineering: you work across frontend and backend, and you're building your range across product, architecture, and infrastructure. We expect daily use of AI coding tools such as GHCP, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to generate most of your requirements, code, and architecture diagrams, at least on side projects and ideally day-to-day.\nYou will think and build like a product engineer, not just think about the code. These are not staff augmentation placements: you contribute to taking a product from journey to pilot to production, and you care as much about whether it gets adopted and creates value as whether the code is elegant.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role within a consulting environment. You will work alongside client engineering, product, and domain teams, helping translate business problems into working systems that deliver measurable impact. You will be AI-native by default, applying PALO IT's Gen-e2TM methodology to drive quality, speed, and adoption. With Gen-e2TM we generate the large majority of the product with AI and deliver end-to-end 2-3x faster than traditional approaches. AI generates; engineers own. Your judgement and standards are what make the output production-grade, and we will train you to work with AI as part of your daily development workflow.\nThis role is based in Sydney. We operate a hybrid model with three days per week in our Sydney office or on client site, with the balance worked flexibly.\nYou'll work in small, high-performing interdisciplinary teams with pair programming, weekly knowledge-sharing sessions, and a supportive engineering community. As you grow, you'll spend increasing time with clients: gathering requirements, contributing in discovery sessions, and communicating your thinking clearly. If you enjoy seeing your work land with the people who use it, you'll thrive here.\nClient Delivery\nDeliver features and workstreams within your engagement, from prototype through to production, with support from senior engineers.\n\nContribute to fullstack development across frontend and backend.\n\nBuild AI-powered systems that deliver measurable client value.\n\nParticipate in code reviews, testing, and quality assurance.\n\nSupport DevOps workflows and contribute to CI/CD pipelines.\n\nFlag risks and blockers early rather than sitting on them.\n\nConsulting & Client Engagement\nWork directly with client teams and build trust with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nEngage with clients to understand requirements and help shape solutions.\n\nCommunicate your thinking clearly: in the room, in writing, and in the code.\n\nBring field feedback to the team to sharpen how we deliver.\n\nAI-Native & Gen-e2 Practice (Core Expectation)\nEmbrace AI-native ways of working, including AI-first development, testing, and documentation.\n\nApply prompt and context engineering, output validation, and critical review of AI-generated code.\n\nStay curious about emerging GenAI tools and bring practical ideas back to the team.\n\nWho You Are\n2-5 years of professional software development experience.\n\nExperience with ReactJS for frontend development.\n\nExperience with Node.js, Java, or .NET for backend development.\n\nHands-on experience with AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor), professionally or through substantial personal projects.\n\nSolid understanding of programming fundamentals and design patterns.\n\nStrong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.\n\nComfortable working in cross-functional teams and engaging with stakeholders.\n\nYou are open to learning new stacks. We work across different client environments, languages, frameworks, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and with AI as a learning tool, picking up something new is easier than ever. You don't need to tick every technology box; curiosity goes a long way.\n\nDemonstrated initiative and ownership: you drive outcomes rather than wait for instructions.\n\nAI-Native & Gen-e2 Skills (Required)\nHands-on use of AI tools in your engineering workflow.\n\nWorking grasp of prompt and context engineering.\n\nDemonstrated use of AI tools in real engineering work, not just theoretical exposure. You should be able to show how AI is part of your working method.\n\nCritical thinking to validate and verify AI-generated code and solutions.\n\nGood to Have\nTypeScript and modern JavaScript.\n\nRESTful APIs, microservices, and cloud-native architectures.\n\nExperience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).\n\nDevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines.\n\nConsulting or client-facing delivery exposure.\n\nExperience building with LLMs or generative models.\n\nMore About PALO IT\nOur clients include some of the world's most successful companies. We collaborate with leading enterprises, next-generation businesses and frontier partners, shaping what comes next, helping them scale AI and solve complex business and technology challenges.\nWhat We Offer\nStimulating working environments\n\nUnique career path\n\nInternational mobility\n\nInternal R&D projects (including Gen-e2™)\n\nKnowledge sharing\n\nPersonalized training via PALO IT Academy\n\nEntrepreneurship & intrapreneurship\n\nFor more on our team culture and benefits, check out our careers page.\nWe will be prioritizing applicants who have a current right to work in Australia, and do not require sponsorship of a visa.\nPALO IT Australia is an equal opportunity employer.
