About this role

Senior AI Platform Engineer at Relevance AI in Sydney, Australia is a hybrid role suited for an experienced infrastructure professional who wants to build the foundation for AI-native software development. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape developer experience and scale the systems that empower engineers and coding agents to ship features efficiently.

Role Overview

The Senior AI Platform Engineer position is located in Sydney, Australia, with a hybrid schedule requiring three days in the office. The person in this role will own developer experience, platform infrastructure, reliability, and the automated factory pipeline that enables the engineering team to out-build competitors using AI agents. This position shapes the foundational infrastructure of an AI-native platform.

Key Responsibilities

Own developer experience and the build, test, deploy, and local-dev loop for engineers and agents.
Build agent-safe environments, including sandboxes, guardrails, and context for autonomous code investigation and deployment.
Manage end-to-end reliability, including SLOs, on-call health, observability, and incident response.
Oversee cloud infrastructure and cloud costs using AWS, ensuring scalability and spend visibility.
Design and evolve platform capabilities across multiple teams to support multiple human and AI contributors.
Remove systemic bottlenecks to multiply engineering output across the organization.
Share platform expertise openly to educate the wider engineering team on infrastructure practices.

Requirements

Experience pushing the frontier of coding agents by building environments, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks.
Product-minded judgement focused on downstream impact and customer outcomes rather than gold-plating infrastructure.
Deep background in owning developer experience, CI/CD, build and deployment tooling, and cloud infrastructure.
Direct ownership of reliability, SLOs, on-call health, observability, and incident response without a separate SRE team.
Demonstrated ability to improve other teams through education, unblocking, and setting operational standards.
Belief in the company mission with comfort operating in a high-pace, ambiguous environment.
