Senior Full Stack Engineer AI Conversational Systems

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in AI and Conversational Systems to join our engineering organization in Sydney.

In this hands-on role you will design build and operate production-grade conversational interfaces and generative AI featuresincluding AI Coach solutions real-time CoPilot streaming experiences and intelligent agent workflows. You will bridge advanced AI tooling (Vertex AI Dialogflow CX AgentStudio) with modern frontend and backend architectures (React WebSockets Java) while applying rigorous engineering practices to handle non-deterministic model behaviour.

Key Responsibilities

• Conversational & Generative AI Development: Design and build intelligent agent workflows conversational flows and generative AI features using Dialogflow CX Vertex AI AgentStudio and advanced prompt/context engineering techniques.

• Real-Time AI Frontend Engineering: Develop high-performance responsive user interfaces using React Vite Tailwind CSS and Storybook integrating WebSockets for real-time conversational and CoPilot streaming capabilities.

• Backend & API Integration: Build and maintain scalable backend services and API layers ( Java Apigee) to support secure low-latency communication between front-end applications and AI model providers.
