About the Role

We're looking for two AI Engineers to build, ship, optimise and own AI-powered products and systems. You'll be pivotal in establishing our AI capabilities including implementing AI / agentic software development practices and tools while shipping features that solve real problems for renters and real estate professionals.


About You

You're a builder - someone who is deeply curious, experiments relentlessly and is excited about using AI to solve real problems. You think like a product person, build like an engineer, ship like a startup founder and have a very high internal accountability and motivation to own operational systems. You're curious about what's possible but focused on what's valuable.

* 4+ years building and shipping software with some AI/ML experience in production.
* Strong engineering fundamentals - comfortable with a Golang/React/AWS stack or eager to learn.
* A systems thinker being able to break down complex and uncertain problems into solvable pieces with leveraging different technologies. You're able to think narrow and broad.
* API integration experience - extensive integration experience with RESTful services, data processing and system integrations.
* Product thinking - understand user needs and business problems before jumping to technical solutions
* Startup/scale-up experience - comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and changing priorities
* Builder mentality - prioritising getting things done and making progress, even with imperfect information. This means shipping early versions, testing ideas, and refining based on real feedback.
* Curiosity and experimentation - proven curiosity and excitement around AI tools and techniques
* Relentlessly removes repetition - automating, finding scalable solutions, reducing the drudge work across your working and personal life.

Highly Desirable:

* LLM integration - experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar APIs.
* AWS experience - ECS, Lambda, RDS, API Gateway, DynamoDB, AWS Bedrock and other AWS services.
* Data processing - experience with ETL, data pipelines, or large dataset handling.
* PropTech or real estate - understanding of property workflows and data.
* Rapid prototyping - comfortable building quick proof-of-concepts to test ideas.

We Want to See:

* Examples of things you've built and shipped (GitHub, portfolio, or just tell us about them).
* Evidence of product thinking - how you approach problems and solutions.
* Curiosity about AI - what excites you about the current AI landscape.
* Pragmatic approach - how you balance experimentation with shipping.

What makes this role Special?

* Rare opportunity - help establish AI capabilities at a market-leading PropTech company.
* Real impact - solve problems for millions of renters and thousands of real estate professionals.
* Key contributors - helping explore, define and develop products, services and systems that genuinely improves user experiences.
* Experimentation culture - try new things, learn fast, iterate quickly.
* Growing platform - work with rich property data and established user base.

Why Join Snug?

* Be at the forefront of AI innovation in the property sector.
* Join a market-leading, award-winning business with a mission to make renting easier.
* Own high-impact product initiatives shaping the experience for millions.
* Work with a passionate, agile, cross-functional team that celebrates wins.
* Hybrid work model — 3 days in our Sydney office, 2 days remote.
* Opportunities for growth in a scaling technology company.

How to Apply

* If you're excited about creating AI-led products that transform the rental experience, we'd love to hear from you. Apply via LinkedIn or Seek with your CV and a short cover letter telling us why you're the perfect fit for Snug. Snug strongly encourages applications from all backgrounds and experiences as an inclusive workplace.
