Expect to sit down with stakeholders, turn what they need into designs, then ship software that is secure, dependable and quick.

Applications close on 13 November 2026, so it is worth moving early if you have been coding in a UK team and fancy a change of scene.
Hiring managers here will look for proof of the AI work, so list the models you have trained, the LLM features you have shipped and the clouds you deploy to. You can put together a Melbourne machine-learning engineer CV with Build AI CV and keep the stack details tidy.
