VIE AI Engineer & Data Scientist Consultant

Within the AI & Data Business Unit in Sydney you will help our clients transform their business processes through Artificial Intelligence Generative AI and Data Science. Working alongside Data Scientists Machine Learning Engineers Solution Architects and Platform Engineers and step-by-step with clients you will design build and deploy AI and data solutions that create measurable business value. Depending on client needs and your profile your assignments may span the two areas below:  

AI & Generative AI Engineering  

• Assist the GenAI Solution Architect in designing scalable and secure AI solutions. 

• Develop applications powered by foundation models both self-managed and API-accessible that meet business needs and comply with applicable regulations (GDPR EU AI Act model licenses etc.). 

• Design prompting and orchestration strategies to improve reasoning controllability reliability and user experience. 

• Design and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems leveraging enterprise knowledge sources semantic search and source attribution. 

• Design implement and optimize agentic AI systems using orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph CrewAI AutoGen Semantic Kernel or equivalent. 

• Develop AI agents capable of tool usage workflow orchestration planning reasoning memory management and human-in-the-loop interactions. 

• Architect AI solutions integrating enterprise systems APIs databases and knowledge repositories. 

• Evaluate and select the most appropriate models based on business requirements performance latency and cost constraints. 

• Monitor AI system performance in production and contribute to observability evaluation and governance practices. 

Data Science & Machine Learning 

• Machine Learning and Statistics: build explanatory and predictive models to support decision-making (supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms econometrics time series forecasting reinforcement learning etc.). 

• Deep Learning: intelligent processing of unstructured data such as text (Natural Language Processing) images (Computer Vision) and audio (Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech). 

• Generative AI & Large Language Models (LLMs): design and deploy LLM-based solutions (GPT Claude Mistral etc.) develop RAG pipelines and create business-focused conversational assistants and autonomous agents. 

• Operations Research: help design and implement constrained optimization solutions and simulation models. 

• Big Data: apply algorithmic knowledge to process large volumes of structured and unstructured data. 

• Conduct research on the latest advances in foundation models multimodal AI and agentic AI systems.
