See yourself in our team
You'll join a technically ambitious team where AI is applied to real Global Markets opportunities. Working alongside business leaders, engineers, risk specialists and industry partners, you'll help shape how AI creates commercial impact across forecasting, trading and emerging AI initiatives.
Lead AI initiatives end to end, from problem definition and experimentation through production deployment and ongoing performance monitoring, and be comfortable opening a new inception while an existing solution remains under your operational watch.
Set technical direction while staying on the tools.
Translate complex commercial and markets problems into scalable machine learning and agentic AI solutions.
Establish and hold the modelling, validation, governance and monitoring practice needed to meet risk and model performance requirements in a regulated environment.
Partner with business, engineering, risk and governance teams, and with external technology partners, to deliver safe and responsible outcomes.
Develop data scientists and graduates through coaching, mentoring and technical leadership. Our graduates are already among the strongest AI developers coming through in Australia, so the bar for technical leadership here is set accordingly.
Drive integration between AI delivery, engineering practice and business process so that solutions land in the business and stay there.
Influence senior stakeholders by connecting technical decisions to commercial value, P&L and strategic outcomes.
Design delivery patterns where none exist yet and make them commercially viable. IB&M has a strong record of backing its people to make decisions and own the outcome.
