📋 Description

• As a Junior AI Integration Engineer at ZURU Group Limited, you will play a pivotal role in driving the company’s AI transformation by building and deploying practical AI-powered tools that solve real business problems across global teams.
• Day to day, you will lead one-week focused sprints with business units to shadow workflows, identify automation opportunities, build working proofs of concept using AI technologies like RAG systems and knowledge bots, and hand them off to engineering teams for production.
• You will work across ZURU’s diverse business units — including Toys, Consumer Goods (ZURU Edge), and Tech (ZURU Tech) — spanning locations in New Zealand, China, and the United States, giving you broad exposure to cross-functional challenges and reusable AI patterns.
• The role sits at the heart of ZURU’s innovation culture, offering you ownership from day one, the chance to upskill teams through workshops, mentor AI Champions, and contribute to a shared library of AI skills and templates while building scalable, repeatable solutions.
• You will gain hands-on experience with modern AI engineering practices, including Terraform, AWS, CI/CD, semantic modeling, vector databases, and LLM-powered agents, all while collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders across commercial, marketing, design, manufacturing, and finance.

🎯 Requirements

• Comfortable reading and writing code in Python and JavaScript or TypeScript
• Experience building AI workflows and strong understanding of modern LLM capabilities including agents, tool use, RAG, context engineering, and structured output
• Ability to deconstruct complex business workflows and re-engineer them for automation
• Strong communication skills to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, run workshops, and present to senior leadership
• Builder’s mentality focused on creating scalable, repeatable solutions rather than ad-hoc fixes

• Culture for Growth – work in a high-performing, innovative environment that encourages learning and excellence
• Health Benefits – comprehensive support for employee wellbeing
