Job description

About Maincode

Maincode makes Matilda, an Australian-made AI stack we own end to end, from tin to token. We own and operate our own infrastructure here in Australia, we train and maintain our own frontier models, and we run multiple surfaces on top of them, including chat, coding and API. Everything we ship is built on capability we control ourselves. We are hiring someone who cares about that. You should be passionate about Australian-made technology, a builder first, and keen to execute at the frontier.

The role

Deploying Matilda and our product suite into enterprise.

About you

Engineer with product taste and commercial nous.

Why work at Maincode

  • Culture: “Small team doing hard things.” High ownership, move fast, ship without permission. Values: ownership, gradient (fast learning), range, speed, taste, humility. No ego, mission‑first.
  • Work environment: On‑site in Melbourne, Australia (some hybrid/remote possible with visits). Emphasis on craft and shipping.
  • Research perks: For researchers – paid residency, ability to publish at top venues (NeurIPS, etc.), access to dedicated GPU cluster, direct line to production.
  • Engineering focus: Modern tech stack (Python, PyTorch, CUDA, Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP); engineers work on inference infrastructure, model training, safety evals, and product features.
  • Growth opportunity: From 17 people to planned expansion; early employees can shape the direction of the product and research agenda.
