• Embed MLOps practices for deployment, monitoring, retraining, governance and continuous improvement
• Track emerging AI trends and recommend practical adoption strategies for the organisation
• Mentor engineers and strengthen best practices in AI architecture, experimentation and software engineering

To be successful in this role, you should meet the following requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2–3 years of hands-on experience in AI/ML.
• Apply strong Python capability and experience with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow and scikit-learn

• Build and deploy models on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
• Apply data engineering fundamentals including SQL and building scalable data pipelines
• Develop applied solutions using LLMs, generative AI, NLP or related approaches
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders to shape requirements and coordinate cross-functional delivery

Building Production-Grade AI

If you want to take applied AI work from concept to real-world outcomes this role offers the scope to do it at scale.
