Senior Full Stack AI Engineer

The Data & AI Platform team builds the foundational capabilities that enable scalable, secure, and high-impact AI solutions. We design and operate the platforms, components, and workflows that support machine learning, GenAI, data-driven optimisation, and enterprise automation.

As an AI Engineer / Developer, you will help build and operate our AI platform-supporting traditional ML, LLM-based applications, orchestration frameworks, and end-to-end MLOps/LLM Ops processes. You'll work with data scientists, architects, and product teams to deliver reliable, integrated, and value-focused AI solutions across the business.
