Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Build and experiment with agentic prototypes and LLM-powered workflows to turn ambiguous problems into validated technical directions. Collaborate with product and platform leads to produce prototypes, evaluations, and handover artefacts for scaling solutions.
Requires strong software engineering foundations in Python and practical experience building LLM or agentic applications. Candidates must be comfortable with ambiguity and possess the ability to design experiments and analyze system behaviors.

Step into the frontier of AI engineering, where problems are undefined and possibilities are wide open. As an Agentic Discovery Engineer, you’ll turn ambiguity into clear, validated direction by building and experimenting with agentic systems from the ground up. This is not a role for passive analysis—you’ll learn by doing, rapidly prototyping workflows, testing LLM behaviours, and iterating in real environments to uncover what actually works.
Working closely with Product, Platform, and Outcome Leads, you’ll shape solution direction at the earliest stage by producing tangible evidence: prototypes, evaluations, prompts, and insights that bring clarity to complexity. Your work will directly enable engineering teams to scale solutions with confidence, grounded in real-world validation rather than assumptions.
This role is designed for engineers who are naturally curious, hands-on, and excited by modern AI tooling. If you thrive in uncertainty, enjoy experimenting your way to answers, and want to play a defining role in how agentic systems are built, this is your opportunity to have real impact at the cutting edge.
What You’ll Do
Build and run agentic prototypes to explore problems, feasibility, and solution paths.
Design LLM-powered workflows including tools, retrieval, and orchestration.
Experiment with models, prompts, and architectures to balance quality, cost, and performance.
Capture reusable context, assumptions, and agent behaviours for future scaling.
Create and run lightweight evaluations to test effectiveness and outcomes.
Identify and document risks, limitations, and failure patterns.
Continuously refine prototypes using stakeholder and user feedback.
Collaborate with product and platform leads to reduce ambiguity and delivery risk.
Produce clear handover artefacts with validated approaches and recommendations.
Use modern agentic tools, stay current with advancements, and operate within ethical and safety boundaries.
There are five permanent role, which offer a flexible hybrid work model based in Naarm (Melbourne) or Gadigal Country (Sydney).
What You’ll Bring
Strong software engineering foundations with hands-on experience in Python or similar.
Practical experience building LLM or agentic applications through projects or early roles.
Understanding of agentic concepts like tool use, retrieval (RAG), memory, and orchestration.
Ability to analyse system behaviour, including edge cases, failures, and trade-offs.
Experience designing and running experiments with meaningful evaluation methods.
Strong communication skills to clearly document insights and share learnings.
Comfortable working in ambiguity with a bias toward rapid, hands-on experimentation.
Curious, fast learner who uses modern agentic tools and embraces feedback.
