At Insignia Financial, we’re serious about becoming an AI-enabled business. With Wrap having over $100 billion under management and being one of the fastest-growing superannuation and retirement platforms in Australia, we’re investing heavily in AI to drive efficiencies for advisers, clients, and our own operations – which will result in a brighter future for Australians.

You’ll design and deliver high-performance AI applications, work with leading-edge tech, and help us transform the experience of advisers and clients.

This isn’t AI for the sake of AI – it’s meaningful work with scale, impact, and visibility. You’ll collaborate closely with our central AI team, product owners, engineers, and stakeholders, while mentoring other engineers and guiding best practices in AI engineering.

  • Collaboration & Leadership: Partner with engineers, product managers, and data scientists while mentoring junior team members.
  • Data Handling: Work across relational, NoSQL, vector, and cloud-based databases to enable retrieval, search, and processing in AI-powered solutions.
  • Performance & Ethics: Ensure models are scalable, reliable, explainable, secure, and ethically deployed.

 

What You Bring to This Role

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or related field.
  • 3-5+ years’ hands-on experience delivering production-ready AI applications at scale.
  • Strong experience as a Senior Developer leading delivery and mentoring others.
  • Deep technical expertise across:
  • AI/ML model development, deployment, RAG, vector databases, Hugging Face/open source libraries
  • Languages: Java (incl. Kotlin), Python, JavaScript
  • Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure; containerisation: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines

  • Strong engineering best practices – version control, clean code, testing, peer reviews.
  • A collaborative mindset, problem-solving skills, and the ability to mentor others.

 

Why join us?

This is more than just an engineering role – it’s an opportunity to shape the AI capability of one of Australia’s leading financial services businesses.

  • Scale & impact – Your work will power efficiencies for advisers, back office, and clients across a $100bn platform.
  • Enterprise AI vision – Be part of a business with a clear, governance-first AI strategy, backed by leadership and investment.
  • High visibility – influencing how AI is adopted and scaled across the Wrap business.
