HeadHunted AI helps Australian companies hire AI Engineers, ML Engineers, MLOps specialists, GenAI builders and data engineers who can take work from concept to production. We help you define the role properly, map the market and reach candidates generalist recruiters usually miss.
Our network includes AI, ML and data professionals from companies such as
An AI Engineer, ML Engineer, MLOps Engineer and Data Scientist are not interchangeable. Hiring the wrong profile can cost months.
Production-grade AI engineers are usually already employed, selectively open, and hard to reach through job ads alone.
A keyword match on Python, LangChain, Databricks or Kubernetes does not prove someone can ship reliable AI systems.
Senior AI candidates move quickly. If the interview loop drifts, the best people are gone before final stage.
HeadHunted AI was built to fix this — by a recruiter who works with AI engineers and hiring managers every week.
Builds LLM applications, RAG systems, agents, tool-calling workflows, evaluation layers and production guardrails.
Moves models into production and owns performance, deployment, reliability and improvement loops.
Builds the platform, pipelines, monitoring and release process that makes ML reliable.
Builds the data foundations, pipelines and platforms that make AI and ML systems possible.
AI Engineers building GenAI and agentic systems on top of foundation models. The strongest candidates are not just prompt engineers.
ML Engineers who can move models into production. Production ownership matters, not just model experimentation.
Senior engineers and leaders who can turn AI strategy into delivery — Staff, Principal, Head of AI/ML and Enterprise AI Architecture.
Data Engineers who make AI possible. AI systems are only as strong as the data feeding them.
MLOps and ML Platform Engineers who make ML reliable — the infrastructure layer that lets teams deploy, monitor, retrain and operate models safely.
For urgent delivery gaps, project-based capability or specialist AI work where permanent headcount is too slow.
For companies building long-term AI, ML and data capability — core engineering hires, platform roles and senior individual contributors.
For senior, confidential or high-impact hires — Head of AI/ML, Principal/Staff AI Engineer, Enterprise AI Architect, Founding AI Engineer.
