About the Role
We are building a new AI engineering team in Sydney focused on Nuix Neo. This role involves owning Enrich, our data-enrichment capability, and leading the team's AI mandate, including developing agentic capabilities to transform customer workflows. You will manage a distributed team across Australia, Ukraine, and the US, ensuring delivery of both existing products and new AI initiatives, while fostering team health and effective ways of working.
Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and grow a cross-timezone team, managing hiring, onboarding, career development, performance, and support.
- Own delivery by partnering with product managers to plan, prioritize, manage risks and dependencies, and ensure predictable shipping of quality software across on-prem and SaaS.
- Partner with the Product Manager to translate strategy into a viable, sequenced roadmap, providing engineering input on feasibility, effort, and trade-offs for AI and agentic initiatives.
- Establish effective ways of working for a globally distributed team, ensuring healthy overlap between Sydney and remote members.
- Be accountable for engineering quality and security outcomes, including continuous addressing of code and vulnerability scan reports and upholding secure-by-design practices.
- Stay technically involved to review designs, contribute to technical direction, and support development without being on the critical delivery path.
Requirements
- At least 10 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong hands-on foundation before moving into leadership.
- Proven engineering management experience, including leading geographically distributed, cross-timezone teams.
- Experience managing an AI / ML product development team is favorable.
- Familiarity with shipping AI features, agents, or model-backed products.
- Experience delivering products across both on-prem and SaaS/cloud (ideally Kubernetes-based) is desirable.
- Technically credible across a modern stack (Java, Python, React/TypeScript) sufficient to guide design and quality conversations and provide useful code-review feedback.
- Strong track record in delivery management, stakeholder communication, and building high-performing, healthy team cultures.
- Familiarity with document-intelligence, NLP, or data-enrichment domains is a plus.
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
