About the Job This role is ideal for someone who wants to shape how a modern enterprise becomes truly AI-native. We already use AI in delivery and engineering, and we have strong guardrails and governance in place. Now, were looking for a leader who can help us scale: across data acquisition, ingestion, storage, and AI-powered consumption within a secure, multi-tenant environment. Youll evolve our existing data platform (AWS, Snowflake, S3, Postgres, event-driven services) into a product-facing, AI-ready foundation, while partnering across disciplines and leading a team in a supportive, high-trust environment. If you're passionate about data, excited about AI, and motivated by meaningful impact, this role gives you the autonomy, influence, and visibility to shape how AI is adopted across the company. Requirements Key Responsibilities 1. Data platform evolution Take our current AWS/Snowflake/S3/Postgres setup and enable AI/RAG, product consumption, and multi-tenant access. Work with the Technical Architect to keep this aligned with our event-driven and security model. 2. Data acquisition & ingestion Design multi-source ingestion (APIs, scraping/crawling, file drops, crowdsourcing, agent-based pipelines). Make it observable, repeatable, and documented so research and analytics can plug in new sources without rework. 3. AI as a consumption layer Build LLM/RAG endpoints on top of our data and content as a service. Expose these services to Data Insights to enable users to ask, explore, and generate insights not only download reports. 4. Partnering with Analytics Give the research teams clean, modelled, well-documented data. Turn one-off work into scheduled, production jobs. 5. Guardrails, governance, and quality Keep AI-generated code within SDLC, code review, and security bounds. Ensure data and AI services are audited and tenant aware. 6. Team leadership Lead a small technical team (data/AI/ingestion). Promote AI-native ways of working across product, data, and engineering. Manage and mentor your engineering team, fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment with excellent productivity. Demonstrate hands-on technical excellence while modelling accountability, critical thinking, and AI-first practices Set clear objectives, provide regular feedback, conduct performance reviews. 7. Delivery & Accountability Take full accountability for the delivery of high-quality software products, owning both successes and challenges Drive outcome focused delivery planning and execution, measuring success by business impact rather than effort or hours invested Proactively identify and mitigate risks, making critical decisions to keep projects on track 8. Technical Direction & Architecture Guide technical direction, establish best practices, and ensure architectural decisions support scalability, maintainability, and business goals Be a hands-on contributor forArchitecting and building well-tested, maintainable applications Optimise tech stacks and development workflows to maximise team productivity 9. Agile & Product Collaboration Ensure Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, stand-ups) are followed and continuously refine Agile practices to optimise team performance Collaborate with product owners and stakeholders to develop and maintain technical roadmaps that align with business strategy Work with product owners to build and maintain a prioritised backlog that balances business value, technical debt, and innovation 10. Quality & Continuous Improvement Enforce rigorous quality standards including test-driven development (TDD), code reviews, and automated testing Ensure that security best practices are followed to the highest standards Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement Use data and metrics to drive decisions and demonstrate improvement in team velocity, quality, and business outcomes The Ideal Candidate: 1. Data-first mindset You understand how data arrives in an organisation: via APIs, files, partner feeds, human/crowd sourced inputs or from the internet and that each of those has different latency, quality, and governance needs. Youre comfortable with: AWS (core services, IAM basics, networking good practice), Snowflake (or similar cloud data warehouse), Amazon S3 for landing/staging data Postgres (including JSONB/dynamic fields), Event-driven patterns for efficient and effective data pipeline management, 2. AI-positive, not AI-sceptic This role is for someone who: is genuinely enthusiastic about AI/LLMs/agents, is actively learning (even in their own time), Can translate AI concepts (RAG, agents, tools, function calling, model evaluation, private models) into working, secure services. 3. Enterprise-aware We have clients, tenants, and compliance, so you will: design with security, PII and tenancy in mind, accept governance and SDLC gates as part of making AI safe, and still find a way to deliver fast. 4. Builder + Manager Youre happy to open the IDE and build the pipeline, but you can also run a small team, set standards, review code, and coach people into AI-native ways of working.
