Senior AI Product Engineer

Job description

Location 📍: Sydney, AU, Hybrid (3 days in office required) About Us 🚀 At Relevance AI, we’re building the home of the AI workforce. Our mission is simple: empower every team to delegate meaningful work to AI agents that think, act, and collaborate like experts. With Relevance AI, anyone can create and manage intelligent agents that handle workflows, decisions, and collaboration - all within one unified platform. Our technology already powers industry leaders such as Canva, Databricks, Confluent, Autodesk, Lightspeed, Rakuten, Aveva, Qualified, and Activision Blizzard, helping them scale excellence across operations, marketing, and sales. We’re backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Partners, Peak XV, and King River Capital, and raised our Series B in April 2025 to accelerate growth and push the boundaries of agentic automation. Headquartered in San Francisco and Sydney, we operate on a hybrid model and thrive on curiosity, collaboration, and execution - we move fast, think big, and win together. In 2025, we were proud to be named LinkedIn’s #1 Startup in Australia. If you want to define how the world works with AI, join us. The Role 🥳 The greatest engineers today aren't just writing code faster—they're spending more time solving problems and building products that couldn't have existed a year ago. Our team works at the frontier of AI-native development where curiosity, product thinking, rapid experimentation and judgement are embedded in our ways of working. You'll be one of our core product builders behind our most advanced AI capabilities: agents that can act with increasing autonomy on real work. You'll have access to the latest frontier models, rethink traditional software patterns and work closely with customer-facing teams to quickly turn ideas into shipped products. We are willing to sponsor engineers relocating from overseas to Australia. How We Build ⚒️ We believe that AI is fundamentally changing software and what it means to be an engineer. That means our team works differently: - AI engineering (coding agents, loops, eval) is a core part of every engineer's workflow. - Engineers own product areas and customer problems end-to-end, not just implementation. - We prototype quickly, validate with customers, and iterate relentlessly. - We ship continuously, often multiple times a day. - We care about product impact as much as technical quality. If you enjoy experimenting with frontier models, trying new tools, and constantly improving how you build software, you'll fit right in. Meet The Team 👋 - Paulwyn, Head of Engineering https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/relevance-ai-conversation-meet-our-head-engineering-paulwyn-esnvc/ - Peter, Engineering Manager https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/meet-peter-engineering-manager-relevance-ai-relevanceai-kxrgc/ Your Impact 💥 - Build frontier AI-native/ agentic products that thousands of customers rely on every day. - Own problems from idea through implementation, launch and iteration. - Design intelligent workflows powered by LLMs, tools, memory and agent collaboration. - Turn emerging AI capabilities into delightful customer experiences. - Partner closely with product, design and customer teams to shape what we build next. - Raise the engineering bar through mentorship, technical leadership and thoughtful decision making. - Continuously explore new AI models, tools and techniques because you're genuinely curious. Who We’re Looking For 🧠 In one-line: a senior AI-native builder who cares deeply about the customer, exercises strong product judgment and enjoys operating in small fast-moving teams. You'll likely thrive here if you demonstrate: - AI-Native Building: You push what is possible as an architect and director of coding agents — using AI daily to decompose problems, orchestrate agents to build, and verify output with enough judgment to keep quality high. - Product Thinking & Judgement: You think like a product owner and care deeply about the right thing being built to meet customer outcomes, not tickets. You can talk about who used your product and why it mattered. - Strong Engineering Craft. You are comfortable operating across the full stack (front-end, back-end, infrastructure, AI systems) and understand distributed system fundamentals. - Delivery speed and reliability. You ship continuously, balancing pace with quality — and you take evals, on-call, and root-cause fixes seriously. - Belief in our mission. You raise the standard for people around you, you're comfortable with ambiguity and pace, and you believe a smaller AI-native team can out-build a larger, traditional one. Our Tech Stack (so far) 💻 Experience in our exact stack is not required — what matters more is how fast you can pick up a new one, and how deeply you already use AI coding agents as part of your daily workflow. - Frontend: React, Vue.js, Typescript - Backend: Express.js, Node.js, Typescript, Python - Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB - Cloud Infrastructure: AWS, Vercel, Terraform, Kubernetes - AI Coding Tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and more Why Join Us? 🌟 - Work at the forefront of AI with a nimble team that is constantly pushing boundaries. We encourage and celebrate ideas that drive our mission forward. - We’re guided by our six principles: eyes on the prize, work on the factory - not just in it, be truth-seeking, know your customer by name, let's find a way, and momentum matters. - We’ve set high standards in our high-trust, low-ego environment. We hire exceptional people to do the best work of their lives. In return, we reward our people with competitive salaries, equity stake, unparalleled professional growth, and career-defining opportunities. - Relevance AI is well-funded by leading investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Insights Partners, Peak XV, and King River Capital. - As an early team member, you’ll play a key role in shaping our future—including our culture, ways of working, and even the benefits we offer. We’re laying the foundations now, and your ideas can help define what comes next.
