Description & Requirements

Help us deliver like never before  

We’re hiring an AI Architect to join our AI Architecture team. In this role, you’ll support the Principal AI Architect to design and oversee scalable, secure and compliant AI solutions aligned to our Enterprise Data & AI Reference Architecture, the blueprint that guides how data and AI solutions are implemented across the organisation.

You will focus on the technical aspects of AI system architecture, working closely with data scientists, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that AI initiatives are executed successfully. The AI Architect will contribute to the development, integration, and optimization of AI models and systems, helping to drive the organization’s AI strategy

forward.

If you love translating complex business needs into practical AI architecture, and you’re excited by Generative AI and Agentic AI at enterprise scale, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to Australia Post’s Enterprise Data & AI Reference Architecture, shaping how AI is designed and implemented consistently across the organisation to minimise risk and enable modern, scalable solutions.

 

What you’ll deliver with us  

  • Design and implement AI architectures that are scalable, secure, and aligned with Australia Post’s technology stack and Enterprise Data & AI Reference Architecture.
  • Collaborate with the Principal AI Architect to translate business requirements into technical specifications and actionable plans.
  • Prepare solution designs for AI initiatives and present them to relevant architecture forums for review and endorsement.
  • Ensure all AI architecture designs adhere to AI Governance policies and standards to ensure responsible and ethical use of AI.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, software engineers, and IT specialists, to deliver AI projects on time and within scope.
  • Document AI architectures, processes, and methodologies to ensure clear communication and knowledge sharing across teams.
  • Provide regular updates and reports on project progress, risks, and outcomes to the Principal AI Architect and other stakeholders. 

About You  

You’re comfortable operating in a large, complex enterprise architecture environment, aligning AI solutions to enterprise standards, and governance. You bring strong advisory and consulting capability across AI platforms and solution design for both Generative AI and agentic AI systems, with a proven ability to lead end‑to‑end architecture for scalable, secure and compliant production deployments. You can evaluate and recommend embedded and integrated AI capabilities across the enterprise stack, and you’ve worked hands‑on or in an advisory capacity with platforms such as Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise, and enterprise ecosystems including Salesforce, SAP and Adobe. You’re equally comfortable defining AI technology strategy and multi‑year roadmaps aligned to business outcomes, and partnering closely with business, platform, security and engineering teams to ensure AI adoption is responsible, well‑governed and production‑ready.

 

You’ll also bring 

  • Experience with AI in specific domains such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, or reinforcement learning.
  • Strong expertise in Enterprise AI Architecture, focus domains Generative AI and Agentic AI systems.
  • Expertise in AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, etc.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, or others.
  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and AI deployment strategies.
  • Deep knowledge of data engineering, big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark), and data governance.
