Contract Full-Stack AI Engineer — Claude tool-use

Coral SaaS (AU/NZ) is hiring a Senior Contract Full-Stack AI Engineer — Claude tool-use on the Product engineering team (Remote · Auckland, New Zealand). This is a hands-on role in applied machine learning—not a generic “AI enthusiast” post.

You will own modeling, evaluation, and production ML delivery end to end: problem framing, offline evaluation, safe rollout, and iteration from production signals. Success is measured with clear metrics (quality, latency, cost, or business KPIs)—not slide decks alone.

Coral SaaS — 4-month contract: Next.js + Anthropic tool-calling for ops workflows.

Remote Australia/NZ.

Coral SaaS (AU/NZ) needs someone who can move modeling, evaluation, and production ML delivery from experiment to production—with tests, monitoring, and stakeholder-ready communication.

The Product engineering group partners closely with product and domain experts; you will translate ambiguous requirements into measurable ML or LLM outcomes.

What you will do

• Design and ship modeling, evaluation, and production ML delivery with offline evals, dashboards, and rollback plans.
• Improve datasets, labeling, and metrics that correlate with user or business outcomes.
• Review model changes for safety, bias, latency, and infrastructure cost before wide release.
• Document decisions so on-call, support, and compliance teams can act without guesswork.
• Collaborate async with written specs, demos, and recorded design reviews.

What we look for

• Demonstrated production use of core skills such as TypeScript, React, Python, Anthropic API—with repos, writeups, or metrics we can verify.
• Comfort operating the listed toolchain (Docker, AWS) in real environments—not tutorials only.
• Ownership of at least one feature or model from design through post-launch review—including failure modes you handled.
• Clear communication on trade-offs (quality, cost, latency, safety) with product and non-technical stakeholders.
• Eligible to work in New Zealand (or remote policy as stated in the listing).

Benefits & ways of working

• Hardware allowance.
