  • Build and maintain data pipelines and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP).
  • Develop AI-driven applications including LLM tools, RAG pipelines, and automation solutions.
  • Lead on client communication, project delivery, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Collaborate with Data Science and Analytics teams to improve data access, automation, and governance.
  • Drive innovation through proofs-of-concept, model monitoring, and adoption of emerging AI tech.
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years in data engineering, with team or project leadership experience.
  • Advanced Python (Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn).
  • Strong AWS/GCP, MySQL, and CI/CD experience; Docker/Kubernetes a plus.
  • Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Passion for innovation and ethical, scalable AI.
Nice to Have
  • Experience in digital marketing or web development (PHP, HTML, JS).
  • Familiarity with LangChain, RAGAS, or similar frameworks.
