About us: Making a meaningful difference with mission-critical software that empowers communities to thrive. ReadyTech re-imagines, designs, develops and delivers technology to solve our customers\' diverse problems – supporting multiple businesses across a variety of markets.
We are an ASX-listed company with stable growth and long-term customers. We offer growth opportunities, career-building challenges, and an inclusive environment focused on solving problems that matter to our customers and the communities we serve.
Overview
ReadyTech is committed to solving real customer problems through AI-enabled software. This role focuses on building and maintaining AI-powered features and contributing to safe, reliable deployments.
The Key Accountabilities Of The Role
- Software engineering discipline: Write clean, maintainable, and tested code that can scale to production.
- Applied AI development: Build AI-powered features and services using LLMs, embeddings, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent frameworks.
- Collaboration: Partner with product managers, engineers, and domain experts to deliver features that solve real customer problems.
The Key Responsibilities Of The Role
- Build and maintain AI-powered features for both client-facing products and internal tools
- Design and run evals to measure quality, reliability, cost, and performance of AI features
- Contribute to red-teaming and risk assessment of AI solutions to ensure safe and compliant deployment
- Monitor and improve deployed AI features, addressing issues like drift, latency, cost, and user feedback across their lifecycle
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and domain experts across the business to deliver solutions that solve real customer problems
The Key Requirements For The Role
- Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, with the ability to pick up other languages quickly (such as .NET or Ruby)
- Solid software engineering practice: building and maintaining production systems, working across legacy and up-to-date codebases, writing tested and reliable code
- A track record of building things that ship — whether open source, internships, hackathons, or personal projects
- High learning agility — able to quickly adapt to new tools, frameworks, and problem domains
- Hands-on experience applying modern AI technologies — large language models, embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and agent-based systems — to real problems
- Practical grasp of evals — designing and running evaluations to measure quality, reliability, cost, and performance of AI features
- Awareness of the challenges of deploying AI into production: monitoring, latency, drift, compliance, privacy, and responsible use in regulated domains
- Hands-on project or work experience beyond coursework — internships, OSS projects, hackathons, or professional roles
- Evidence of working with real systems, not just toy examples: integrating with APIs, handling data, or contributing to production codebases
- Computer Science degree (or equivalent academic or practical experience). We value demonstrated ability to build and ship AI systems over formal credentials.
