🎥 Step inside life at Tyro here.
As a Staff Engineer with a focus on AI at Tyro you will be a hands-on technical leader in our Technology team, designing the engineered systems and reusable capabilities that power AI across the merchant experience and beyond. You will build AI-powered products on top of foundation models while creating the patterns, services, and tooling that let other teams adopt AI safely and quickly, creating capabilities as you build applications.
We employ Agile methods, and you’ll work alongside designers, product managers, architects, and other engineers to define and execute on our vision and values, and to set the standard for how Tyro builds with AI in a highly regulated payments environment.
Designing AI Systems
Lead the design, development, testing, and deployment of high-quality, scalable systems built on foundation models, driving best practices for security, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Architect AI systems end-to-end. Capabilities to include Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic and tool-using workflows, orchestration, and the integration of models with Tyro’s services and APIs including the production serving and retrieval layers that supply context and signals to models at request time.
Building Reusable Capabilities
Create reusable capabilities while delivering applications, defining patterns for AI usage packaging them as shared services, templates, and reference implementations.
Enable other teams to adopt AI safely and independently within defined guardrails, accelerating delivery without resolving the same problems.
Technical Leadership
Set technical standards and mentor engineers, establishing how Tyro builds with foundation models. Lead code reviews and technical discussions to promote a culture of excellence and continuous learning.
Drive architectural decisions for AI systems that balance trade-offs between technical feasibility, scalability, cost, latency, and business value, partnering with product managers, designers, architects, and domain experts to turn requirements into AI-powered solutions.
Quality, Security, and Governance
Embed Responsible AI principles, security controls, mitigates risks, and governance aligned to Tyro’s regulatory obligations, including APRA and PCI-DSS.
Strong software engineering fundamentals, with hands-on experience building production services in Kotlin and/or Node.js (TypeScript)
Hands-on experience building with foundation-model APIs (e.g. AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI), including model selection, structured outputs, and tool/function calling
Experience designing AI systems using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings and vector stores, and production serving/retrieval layers such as feature stores
Experience with agile software development methodologies
Understanding of good architecture, basing decisions on value
A collaborative approach to working together with other engineers, product managers, partners and UX designers.
Understanding of Responsible AI and governance in regulated industries (e.g. APRA, PCI-DSS)
Nice to have
Familiarity with Python and AI/ML stacks, front-end experience (React/TypeScript/CSS) where AI features are merchant-facing; and exposure to responsible-AI practices and guardrails in a regulated environment
