Senior Software Engineer - AI

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the next generation of intelligent experiences for Insight Timer — the world’s largest meditation and wellness community, with over 30 million users. You’ll work directly with our Head of AI and backend engineers to turn ambitious ideas into production-grade systems that make a real impact on people’s wellbeing.

This role is focused on building, scaling, and operating real AI systems — not a research or data science position. You’ll design and deploy agent workflows, integrate them with our backend APIs, and build the evaluation and monitoring infrastructure that keeps them reliable at scale. You’ll also help define the frameworks, tools, and practices that shape how AI gets built across Insight Timer.

We’re a fast-moving team that values thoughtful engineering and real-world results. You’ll have the autonomy to make pragmatic tradeoffs — sometimes moving quickly to ship, sometimes investing deeply in quality and stability — always guided by what best serves our users. If you’re motivated by the challenge of building reliable, high-impact systems that reach millions, we’d love to meet you.

About Insight Timer

Imagine a platform which could amplify something as simple as your attendance into deep transformational shifts for humanity. A place where showing up was enough. Where each individual visit combined with millions more to trigger huge waves of health and happiness around the world. What would such a platform look like? Could you even build it? And more importantly, how would you protect it from becoming another Instagram, TikTok or Twitter which magnify the very worst of us.

If we can answer these questions, we believe Insight Timer’s community will emerge as one of the most important companies of the 21st century. A place - not a product - which is capable of reversing the modern day health pandemic by harmonising the human spirit before problems arise. And if we get there... well, the opportunities are endless. Imagine a modern-day renaissance where health, belonging and purpose become the new definitions of happiness for hundreds of millions of people around the world, including you.

And all you need to do… is show up.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship production-grade AI agents that interact with real users and systems at scale.
• Build evaluation, testing, and monitoring systems to ensure agent reliability, safety, and continual improvement.
• Architect flexible, modular workflows that make it easy to extend and iterate on AI capabilities.
• Integrate agents with existing backend APIs and data systems, collaborating with backend engineers to expose the right capabilities.
• Translate early AI prototypes into scalable, maintainable production systems used by millions of people.
• Take ownership of Insight Timer’s GenAI infrastructure — shaping best practices, frameworks, and internal tooling.
• Design data and feedback pipelines that help improve agent performance through real-world usage and, when appropriate, fine-tuning.
• Stay current with emerging agent frameworks and infrastructure approaches (e.g. LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), adopting new techniques when they support product goals.

About You

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least one production system involving AI agents or LLM-based automation.
• Strong Python fundamentals — you write clear, reliable code, and know how to move fast without losing sight of maintainability.
• Solid understanding of software design principles, modular architecture, and system integration.
• Experience building or operating backend services, APIs, or distributed workflows in production.
• Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.), or confidence learning similar systems quickly.
• Comfortable designing evaluation, monitoring, and feedback pipelines to keep systems improving over time.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where pragmatic trade-offs and iteration speed matter.
• Motivated by impact — you care about building reliable systems that help millions live healthier, more meaningful lives.

Benefits

• We offer competitive salaries and options.
• The role is fully remote but you must be based in Australia.
• Extra leave days are available for your well-being and birthday.
• A generous L&D budget & wellbeing bonus.
• We host a global company retreat each year.
