We deliver transformation through three integrated models: advisory, implementation and managed services. This approach ...

Role Context

We are seeking an experienced, energetic, and highly motivated Senior AI/ML Engineer to join our dynamic organisation. This role forms part of our Data and AI practice within our Engineering Team. You will be a lead part of a team of Data and AI practitioners delivering amazing technical solutions to our customers and our own business. This position demands a high level of expertise in AI and Machine Learning technologies, a deep understanding of business contexts, and a strong motivation to innovate and lead. ADG is not a place for being still; this is an environment where you bring your energy and ideas, and we help you translate them into tangible solutions which drive real value.

What we expect from you:

Technical Mastery and Execution. At ADG we believe in mastery. We expect you to bring a wealth of experience to the table, specifically in architecting and building robust, scalable ML pipelines. You must possess a deep understanding of ML training methodologies, relevant algorithms, and evaluation metrics, while also staying at the forefront of GenAI technologies to solve complex, modern problems.

Business Acumen and Initiative. At ADG, we are always improving. We expect you to go beyond the code to deeply understand the underlying business challenges our customers face and translate them into effective, measurable AI/ML solutions. If you see an opportunity for us to improve our services, architectures, or internal systems, speak up and take the initiative to drive that change.

Mentorship and Skills Development. We believe in staying certified and ahead of the curve on technologies our customers use and want. This means we expect you to continuously refine your own skills, while also stepping up to mentor junior engineers, guide technical discussions, and elevate the overall capability of our Data and AI practice.

What you can expect from us:

Technology Stack. At ADG we adapt to what our customers need. This usually coalesces around a certain set of hyperscalers: Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud; and a robust set of modern ML technologies (e.g., Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and various GenAI frameworks/LLMs). But we’re always learning more!

A platform for impact. We provide a supportive environment that values your senior expertise from day one. You’ll be given the space and resources to architect innovative solutions, lead complex projects, and have a direct, tangible impact on our customers' success.

A culture which values your journey. At ADG, we believe in autonomy, mastery, and purpose. We trust you to bring your best self to ADG and pursue continuous growth. We provide interesting and challenging work which assists that. We are a very collaborative organisation, which means you’ll find colleagues who support each other, brainstorm together, and build together.
