We’re looking for an AI Solutions Technical Engineering Manager to lead the delivery of AI- and data-enabled products and platforms from early shaping through to measurable outcomes in production. You’ll operate at the intersection of engineering leadership, AI delivery, and stakeholder alignment, turning ambiguous ideas into structured plans, unblocking teams, and ensuring solutions are operationally viable.You will work across domain teams in a federated model, bringing clarity around ownership, interfaces, and accountability. This is a senior role for someone who can drive innovation while delivering under tight timelines and high expectations.
The role
You will lead multidisciplinary engineering teams (AI/ML, data, software, platform) to deliver AI capabilities that are trusted, adopted, and production-grade. You’ll partner with senior stakeholders & Product Managers to define outcomes, guide technical direction, and ensure delivery is focused on value not AI experimentation for its own sake.
You do not need to code day-to-day, but you must be credible in technical decision-making and able to challenge designs constructively.
What you’ll be doing
Own delivery of AI workloads and AI-enabled products end-to-end: from discovery through build, launch, and iterationConvert loosely defined ideas into delivery plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes
Lead engineering execution across multiple teams, ensuring clear ownership boundaries, interfaces, and ways of working
Drive pragmatic technical direction across AI systems: LLM/ML deployment patterns, model lifecycle, monitoring, and iteration
Ensure production readiness: security, reliability, observability, governance, and cost awareness (FinOps mindset)
Unblock teams through active problem-solving, dependency management, and escalation when needed
Balance trade-offs across speed, quality, risk, and cost and communicate them clearly
Manage stakeholder expectations with calm, credible leadership; run steering conversations and provide transparent updates
Build a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, with disciplined delivery under strict timelines
What success looks like
AI solutions move from idea to production with demonstrable business value
Delivery stays outcome-focused despite technical uncertainty and complexity
AI capabilities are operationally viable: monitored, reliable, secure, and cost-controlled
Teams understand ownership and interfaces; dependencies don’t derail execution
Stakeholders trust progress, decisions, and trade-offs even under pressure
Experience and capabilities (essential)
Proven experience leading engineering delivery for data-heavy, AI-enabled, or platform products
Strong understanding of modern AI concepts: ML systems, LLMs, data dependencies, evaluation, and operational risks
Track record managing complex deliveries across multiple teams and stakeholders
Comfortable operating in federated/domain-oriented environments with shared ownership
Excellent communication: able to align senior stakeholders and guide teams through ambiguity
Solid grasp of production engineering fundamentals: cloud, reliability, security, monitoring, CI/CD
Technical environment
(Not hands-on coding daily, but technically credible)
Cloud: AWS / Azure / GCP
AI/ML delivery: model deployment, MLOps/LLMOps, monitoring, iteration
Platform foundations: Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), CI/CD, GitOps concepts
Observability: metrics, logs, tracing; dashboards and alerting disciplines
Architecture: APIs, microservices, event-driven systems; data pipelines
Desirable
Experience delivering AI in regulated or high-stakes environments (e.g., financial services)
Familiarity with AI governance, ethics, and emerging regulation (e.g., EU AI Act)
Exposure to LLM platforms (e.g., Bedrock / Foundry) and multi-tenant cost controls
Consulting/client-facing delivery leadership and workshop facilitation
We believe talent knows no boundaries. Our hiring process focuses solely on your skills, experience, and potential to contribute to our team. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and evaluate each candidate based on merit, regardless of personal characteristics as the age, gender, origin, religion, sexual orientation, neurodiversity or disability.
