Key Responsibilities
Own technical execution from discovery to production; build, assess, and harden prototypes and proofs of concept, and deliver new ones.
Design and govern reusable agentic AI patterns (orchestration, tool use, memory, retrieval).
Ensure delivery meets architecture, security and data-governance standards; recommend infrastructure, hosting and data residency.
Codify validated solutions into patterns, reference implementations, and starter kits so they can be picked up and scaled across other functions.
Provide design input, finalise requirements, and work directly with internal stakeholders and end users in the host function.
Write specifications, fix complex bugs, and design complex data models.
Act as the primary technical contact for external resources and the squad's go-to on coding and AI.
Establish baselines and report measurable outcomes for every initiative.
Maintain visibility of in-flight AI pilots within the function to prevent duplication and surface candidates for reuse.
Ensure alignment with enterprise non-negotiables: security, compliance and central technology infrastructure standards.
Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and mentor and elevate team members.
Take on related responsibilities as the squad's needs evolve.
