* Educate business leaders on AI capabilities to prioritise high-impact initiatives.

What’s on offer

Critical Technical Skills:


* Python, ML and GenAI frameworks, and cloud AI platforms (Azure).


* Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Databricks, LLMOps, and MLOps tooling.


* AKS (functional deployment), microservices, containerisation, and data engineering frameworks.


* Deep understanding of Data Architecture (Data Lake, Lakehouse), enterprise integration (API design, event-driven architecture), and AI Governance.

Experience and Education:


* Tertiary degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or Engineering.


* Proven experience deploying large-scale AI solutions.


* Strong stakeholder management and the ability to engage with global teams across various time zones.
