Airwallex’s Infrastructure & Productivity team is on a mission to turn everyday software engineers into superheroes. The team builds and maintains the internal platforms, tooling, and CI/CD infrastructure that power Airwallex’s global engineering organization, serving hundreds of engineers across multiple offices and time zones. an AI agent ecosystem where goal-oriented agents continuously operate across every repository — automating infrastructure operations, incident response, database management, and DevOps workflows.

You will be joining at the ground floor of this initiative, building the intelligent systems that fundamentally change how infrastructure work gets done at Airwallex.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure AI team, you will design, build, and operate goal-oriented AI agents that automate SRE, DevOps, and DBA workflows across Airwallex’s global infrastructure. You won’t be doing operations work yourself — you’ll be building the AI systems that do it. Your agents will autonomously investigate incidents, provision infrastructure, manage databases, execute deployments, and handle the operational tasks that traditionally require human intervention You will work on top of Quartermaster, Airwallex’s internal agent platform, building domain-specific agents that interact with real infrastructure tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud APIs, databases, monitoring systems). This role requires you to think deeply about agent architecture — planning and reasoning loops, tool selection and execution, safety guardrails, human-in-the-loop escalation, and how to make autonomous systems reliable in production infrastructure environments
