Key responsibilities include

• Develop, maintain, and enhance existing AI applications and services.
• Design, build, deploy, and support new AI-powered solutions that can scale across multiple business functions.
• Work closely with stakeholders to understand business challenges and translate them into practical AI solutions.
• Prototype, test, and iterate applications based on user feedback and performance data.
• Analyse structured and unstructured datasets using statistical techniques and machine learning methodologies.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and identify opportunities to improve products and internal capabilities.
• Contribute to best practices across software engineering, AI development, and deployment.

About You

• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A collaborative approach with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, agile environment.
• A degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative discipline, or equivalent commercial experience.

Desirable Experience

• Experience building cloud-native AI applications, ideally within Microsoft Azure.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, Git, and automated deployments.
• Understanding of secure software development principles.
• Experience working within consulting, professional services, or other client-facing environments.
• Exposure to MLOps frameworks and AI governance would be beneficial.
