AI Product Builder

Who we are

Rethink AI is a consulting and product firm built to take organisations from AI curiosity to AI advantage. We don't just advise — we build.

Our anchor work has been with Rethink Group — parent to Rethink Investing, Australia's largest commercial buyer's agency, with more than $5.75 billion transacted over a decade in market. The group spans property, finance, legal, insurance, and renewables. We've shipped production AI systems now embedded in daily operations across the group, generating measurable business value.

Why this role exists

The hard part of building software isn't writing code anymore. It's judgment — choosing the right problem, designing a system that will survive production, catching the edge case before a user does.

We build software for high-stakes industries — property, finance, legal, insurance, education. Environments where getting it wrong is expensive.

We need a builder who treats AI as a collaborator, not just a tool. Who thinks about value first — then product, then architecture, then code. Who sees the difference between software that works and software people love to use — and can't stand shipping the first kind. Who's already building in their spare time because they can't stop.

This is not a first job. You've been a professional developer somewhere real, you've shipped to production, and you've felt the weight of code that other people depend on. Now you want to move faster than a big team will let you.

You'll work directly with our AI Principal Architect, who cares about architecture, craft, and details. You'll leave having shipped production systems in a domain where few have.

What you'll ship

• Features across the full stack, end to end

• Agentic AI systems that reason over complex business domains and improve through feedback loops

• Interfaces people love using, not tolerate

• Software with trackable, measurable business impact

We use a broad range of technology — AWS as the cloud provider, React on the frontend, Python or TypeScript on the backend. Or whatever AI wants to write that day.

What you'll get

• $90–120k + super — calibrated for an engineer a few years in who's ready to punch above their band.

• The best tools in the market — whatever helps you ship. Claude, Codex, whatever comes next.

• Coaching from an experienced team — real mentorship on architecture, product thinking, and craft, from people who have been in the game for decades.
