Careers at ELab AI
We're looking for a Senior Engineer and Senior Advisors in investment management and industrial operations to build an AI-first future alongside our clients.
ELab AI brings advisory and engineering together. You'll work with the people running a business, understand what needs to change and stay close to the work as it takes shape.
Explore How We WorkELab AI is an AI advisory and engineering business working across New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong. We bring operational experience and technical depth together to put AI to work inside businesses.
You might be working with an industrial team to make technical knowledge and data easier to access, or with an investment manager to improve reporting. You'll see the work through from understanding the problem to people using what you've delivered.
There's room to build beyond the engagement, too. We turn repeatable approaches into products and use what we learn to improve our own ways of working.

Explore This RoleOur Approach
Bring your experience and be open to having your mind changed. We value people who care about the work and the people doing it with them.
Meet Your Future ColleaguesTry the unfamiliar tool. Ask another question. Test an idea against the work in front of you and show the team what you find.
Do what you say you'll do. When something changes or you need a hand, raise it early so we can work through it together.
Listen to the person who does the job every day. Challenge an idea with care and explain your reasoning. Good decisions draw on more than one person's experience.
Check the details, test your assumptions and leave work that others can understand and build on. How it works after handover matters.
Life at ELab AI
We're a distributed team working closely across disciplines. Trust, clear communication and following through on commitments are part of how we work together.
Our roles offer remote or hybrid working. You'll organise your work around delivery commitments, time with colleagues and the needs of your clients.
You can take an early idea to someone who understands the business or the engineering. We challenge each other's thinking and work through difficult decisions together.
You'll test new models, try different approaches and see how they perform in demanding workflows. Bring what you discover back to the team so everyone can build on it.
You'll contribute to how we deliver, which practices we keep and what we improve. An idea from a client engagement can become a shared tool or the start of a product.
Read the role that interests you, then send us a short introduction and an example of work you're proud of. If your experience takes a different shape, tell us where you think you'd contribute.
