About the role

We are partnering with a leading Sydney‑based insurance organisation to deliver secure, scalable enterprise AI solutions. As an LLMOps / Generative AI Engineer you will translate business use cases into production‑ready GenAI applications, focusing on building rather than traditional DevOps pipelines.

• Develop hands‑on Python code and integrate with platforms such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry and Databricks.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify valuable AI use cases and turn loosely defined ideas into working solutions.
• Consider monitoring, performance, governance, security and cost throughout the solution lifecycle.
• Integrate GenAI capabilities into existing enterprise platforms and applications.
• Coordinate delivery across on‑shore and off‑shore teams, ensuring reusable frameworks, standards and engineering patterns.
• Ensure solutions comply with responsible AI, risk and security requirements.

Required profile

• Commercial experience building AI, machine‑learning or Generative AI solutions.
• Strong hands‑on Python development skills.
• Practical experience with LLMs, RAG and exposure to AI agents or orchestration frameworks.
• Experience with Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Databricks or similar platforms.
• Understanding of prompt engineering, embeddings, vector search and retrieval patterns.
