The AI team is comprised oAI Engineer / Data Scientist (Agentic AI) f highly experienced designers, developers, data scientists and analysts who are responsible for delivering digital products and AI solutions to PwC’s business across multiple lines of service in Australia.
We partner with subject matter experts across the business to advise on, design and build agentic AI systems and LLM-powered products that transform the way we deliver assurance, advisory, tax and legal services to our clients.
As an AI Engineer / Data Scientist on our team, you will design, build and evaluate production agentic AI systems, LLM applications that reason, call tools, retrieve knowledge and complete multi-step tasks on behalf of our practitioners and clients. You will own problems end to end: from framing the approach and prototyping, to shipping reliable, observable agents at scale in the Azure cloud.
We are a data science team at heart, so we care deeply about rigour: measuring agent quality, running evaluations, and using the scientific method to know whether something actually works, not just whether it demos well.
On a day-to-day basis you will be:
Designing and expanding agent tool ecosystems: file/document operations, sandboxed code and bash execution, web search, and enterprise integrations (e.g. MS Graph) — with well-typed, testable schemas.
Engineering RAG and retrieval pipelines: chunking, embeddings, vector search (pgvector / Azure AI Search), hybrid and re-ranked retrieval, and grounding LLM outputs in trusted sources.
Highly regarded (nice to have):
Experience developing on cloud environments, particularly Azure (Azure OpenAI, AI Search, Blob, Key Vault, App Insights).
TypeScript / full-stack experience is a strong bonus: much of our agent tooling and UI is built in TypeScript (Vercel AI SDK, NestJS, Next.js / React), and being able to work across the Python and TypeScript stack is highly valued.
