About the Role

As the Data Analytics & AI Lead, you'll operate as a senior technical specialist and thought leader, combining deep expertise in data, analytics, and engineering to design and deliver advanced solutions. This role offers the best of both worlds: the opportunity to lead complex initiatives as a senior IC while developing the leadership skills to step into a formal management path over time.

You'll thrive here if you are a builder, someone who enjoys running with ambiguous problems, architecting solutions that go into production, and applying deep thinking to complex challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the design and delivery of data and AI initiatives from architecture through to deployment.
• Build and optimise scalable data pipelines and analytics platforms to support real-time, high-volume workloads.
• Solve complex problems across data, analytics, and engineering domains, with an eye toward scalability, resilience, and business value.
• Work across structured and unstructured data sources, including text, speech, and video.
• Partner with senior stakeholders to translate business challenges into actionable AI and data solutions.
• Champion a builder mindset, leading proofs of concept and driving rapid prototyping.
• Contribute as a senior technical IC while mentoring junior engineers and shaping the technical culture of the team.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a hands-on senior technologist who can blend deep technical skills with strategic thinking. You'll be comfortable architecting solutions, coding, and engaging with business stakeholders to drive impact.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL for analytics engineering and model development.
• Experience with both structured and unstructured data (text, speech, video).
• Expertise in Cloud (GCP/AWS/Azure), DevOps, and scalable ML frameworks.
• Solid background in data engineering, cloud infrastructure, and automation.
• Knowledge of LLMs, AI agents, co-pilot technologies, and applied AI-driven automation.
• Proven experience with full-stack development principles and deploying production-grade solutions.

Leadership & Soft Skills

• Senior IC experience with the potential to move into formal leadership.
• Ability to take ambiguous problems and convert them into well-structured, production-ready designs.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Entrepreneurial, builder mindset with a passion for experimentation and innovation.

Why Join

• Tackle complex, real-world problems with immediate business impact.
• Work in a high-growth AI and data team recognised as a global success story.
• Operate in an agile, experimentation-driven environment.
• Competitive salary with performance bonuses.
• Visa sponsorship or transfer available for top-tier talent.
• Opportunity to grow into leadership while shaping the future of AI and analytics at scale.
