We’re also proud to have been recognised as one of the AFR’s Top 10 Best Places to Work and certified by Great Place to Work across 2022–2025. For people who want to make a meaningful impact in a growing business, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

✅ Empower Australian businesses to trade confidently with their customers.

Our Mission

🏆 We aim to be number one in our industry by delivering unique data insights and innovative products.

Your role & team 🚀

This is an opportunity to build AI that matters and see the difference your work makes.

As a AI Product Engineer at CreditorWatch, you'll build production-grade AI products and agentic systems that help Australian businesses make smarter decisions, manage risk and trade with confidence.

You'll work at the intersection of product innovation and platform engineering, taking ambitious ideas from discovery through to production. You'll have genuine ownership of complex AI initiatives, while helping shape the shared capabilities, frameworks and engineering standards that enable AI to scale across CreditorWatch.

This isn't about inheriting a finished playbook. You'll be joining an emerging capability with plenty of room to experiment, challenge assumptions and influence how we build and deliver AI. Working closely with Product, Engineering, Data and Infrastructure, you'll solve meaningful problems and deliver secure, reliable and scalable solutions used by our customers and teams.

A note on AI ✨

Use it. We'd think less of you if you didn't.

We see AI as an opportunity to improve how we work, and we're interested in people who are already experimenting with it in practical ways.

Write the first draft of your application yourself, then use AI to sharpen it rather than replace your thinking. You can also expect to use AI during at least one stage of the interview process. We're interested in how you work with it, not whether you can work without it.
