About the Opportunity
\n
UCentric is exclusively partnering with a high-growth, Melbourne-based technology venture as they enter a pivotal expansion phase following a successful platform rollout. This organization is at the forefront of Australian-led innovation, now focusing on scaling its engineering capability to support complex product delivery and production readiness.
\n
Full Stack Software Engineer
\n
We are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer who is eager to contribute to a live, high-performance production environment. This is an ideal role for an engineer with 1-3 years of experience who possesses strong Computer Science foundations and a genuine passion for engineering excellence.
\n
Your Mission
\n
You will build the services that sit between the model and the outside world. This is a role where reliability is a feature. You will design architectures that handle model inference, user requests, and real-time streaming, ensuring the system stays fast and predictable under significant load.
\n
What You'll Actually Do
\n
\n - Build and maintain services that handle model inference and user requests.
\n - Implement critical mechanisms like rate limiting, retries, and graceful failure.
\n - Design systems that manage complex user sessions and streaming responses.
\n - Build authentication and access controls for public-scale usage.
\n - Improve latency, throughput, and the overall reliability of model serving.
\n - Work with infrastructure and training engineers to integrate new model checkpoints into production.
\n - Design systems for logging, traces, and evaluation signals to monitor system behavior.

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive
\n
We are looking for engineers who are:
\n
\n - Cares about runtime behavior and how large-scale systems behave under real-world constraints.
\n - Stays calm when production behaves unexpectedly and enjoys debugging real systems.
\n - Has the rigor to build systems that are hard to break.
\n - Has a genuine desire to understand how the full AI stack actually works.
