About Maincode
Maincode exists to build technology independence for Australia: AI and infrastructure that nobody else can switch off or change. Matilda came first. It runs on the web, phones, desktop and terminal, and it is trained in MC-2, the AI factory we own and run in Melbourne. MC-3 and our own cloud come next.
When we started in late 2024, the ingredients for this were hard to find here. So from day one the plan was people: a small group who believed in the mission and would do whatever it took to build it here. That is still how we work. There are no ladders to climb and no playbook to follow. Everyone owns what they take on, from start to finish, and the work is about the mission, not anyone's career.
The role
You go wherever you are needed. That could mean sitting with a customer to help their team get real value from Matilda, introducing Matilda to an organisation that has never heard of it, working with a government agency or partner, or running an event. You will be on the ground, working it out as you go, with a highly technical team behind you whenever you need it.
You are
- Someone who gets things done.
- Comfortable with no spec, no manual and no one telling you what to do next.
- Good with people, and quick to learn whatever the problem in front of you needs.
- Here for the mission.
Nobody is going to hand Australia its technology independence. We are building it ourselves, and we need people who will go wherever the work is.
Maincode in Melbourne builds custom AI models for businesses and researchers. It provides end-to-end services from data engineering to training, evaluation, and deploying AI on Australian infrastructure, with a focus on systems that augment human decision-making rather than replacing humans. Its key product, Matilda, is a foundation model trained in Australia and used through partnerships that leverage Australian-developed, sovereign AI capabilities. Unlike many AI vendors who rely on external clouds, Maincode operates its own GPU infrastructure and AI factory on Australian soil, giving clients control over data, standards, and security. The company targets professionals in sectors like education, healthcare, and customer service who handle complex decisions, and aims to grow Australia’s frontier AI capabilities through collaborative, data-driven AI tools.
