  • You integrate AI into existing business systems via APIs and data pipelines, ensure safe and reliable operation through governance and monitoring, and optimise performance and costs for commercial viability
  • You work embedded within client organisations to understand real processes, drive adoption, and enable AI-led change

 

Business Process Transformation (15%)

  • Map current business processes understanding how work gets done today, identifying bottlenecks, and spotting automation opportunities
  • Design AI-enabled future states working with your Deployment Strategist and client stakeholders to reimagine processes with AI capabilities
  • Assess AI feasibility evaluating which problems are well-suited for AI, which approaches to use, and what ROI to expect
  • Define success metrics working with your strategist partner to establish measurable outcomes that demonstrate business value

  • Strong Python skills, solid data engineering capabilities (pipelines, vector databases, ETL), API and integration experience, and practical ML foundations (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow)
  • Proven experience shipping AI systems to production, with cloud infrastructure knowledge (AWS, Azure, GCP incl. GPU/serverless), full-stack development around AI applications, DevOps/MLOps practices (CI/CD, monitoring, model versioning), and performance optimisation across cost, latency, and scalability
