Make your mark as a Conversational AI Engineer in the AI & Technology sector, based in Melbourne.
Conversational interfaces have stopped being a novelty and started being the front door for how businesses handle support, sales and internal operations.
This growing SME, established but still scaling, builds AI & Technology products where language models meet real customer conversations at volume.
They need a Conversational AI Engineer who can take that work from prototype to production without losing quality along the way.
The team is small enough that your work gets noticed and large enough that you won't be doing everything alone.
That balance is rare in AI & Technology right now.
Here's what you'll be doing: Design, build and fine-tune conversational AI models and dialogue flows for production use Integrate large language models into existing products, APIs and customer-facing systems Write and maintain NLU pipelines, intent classification logic and entity extraction systems Monitor conversation quality in live environments and fix failure points fast Collaborate with product and design teams to shape how conversations should actually flow Document technical decisions clearly enough that someone else could pick up your work Here are the skills you'll need: Solid hands-on experience with NLP, LLMs and conversational AI frameworks Strong Python skills, plus comfort working with ML libraries and APIs Experience deploying AI systems into production, not just notebooks Good instincts for where a model will fail before a user finds out Clear communicator.
You'll need to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues Comfortable owning a problem end to end, with limited hand-holding Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$61,500 to A$88,500, depending on experience Fully remote working, with structured processes that still leave room to work your way Private medical insurance and pension contribution Annual leave and flexible working arrangements Bonus schemes and genuine professional development support Why pursue a career in AI & Technology?
Melbourne has become one of the more interesting cities in the region for AI & Technology talent, with a growing cluster of companies betting on conversational AI as a core product, not an add-on.
The field rewards engineers who can ship, not just experiment, and a Conversational AI Engineer who builds that reputation early tends to find doors open faster than most.
Few other industries move this quickly or pay this well for people who can keep up.
