You will also drive efficiency by collaborating cross-functionally to embed AI capabilities into core systems and workflows, minimising duplicated effort and accelerating delivery across teams. Through reusable solution architectures, automation, and platform-first thinking, you will help lift overall cloud and AI maturity across the organisation.

In addition, you will mentor and support other engineers, promote modern engineering practices, and champion cloud-native and AI-first approaches while maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence, cost optimisation, and long-term platform sustainability.
