## Description

As organisations accelerate their adoption of Generative AI and Agentic AI, the challenge is no longer simply accessing data. The challenge is ensuring that AI systems can consume trusted, governed and observable data that delivers reliable outcomes., This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys operating beyond traditional data engineering. You'll combine architecture, technical leadership, customer engagement and AI strategy to help shape both customer outcomes and platform direction.

The Opportunity

You'll play a critical role in helping enterprise customers build the foundations required for modern analytics, AI and decision intelligence.

Working closely with customers, product teams and technical stakeholders, you'll help define how trusted data is structured, governed and exposed to support AI-powered applications and business decision-making.

This role combines:

 * Data Platform Architecture
 * AWS Cloud Engineering
 * AI & Agentic AI Enablement
 * Data Governance & Observability
 * Customer-Facing Technical Leadership
 * Solution Design & Technical Strategy

Shape Data & AI Strategy

Influence architecture decisions, technical standards and best practices across data engineering, analytics and AI initiatives.

Champion Trusted Data

Establish approaches for data quality, lineage, governance and observability that enable organisations to trust the outputs generated by AI and decision intelligence platforms.

Act as a Trusted Technical Advisor

Partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand challenges, define solutions and guide successful delivery.

Drive Technical Excellence

Promote modern engineering practices across architecture, security, governance, platform reliability and cloud-native development., * Like solving complex technical problems rather than maintaining legacy systems.

 * Enjoy working directly with customers and stakeholders.
 * Want to influence technical strategy rather than simply execute against it.
 * Have strong opinions on data quality, governance and trust.
 * Are excited by the challenge of helping organisations operationalise AI responsibly.
 * Want to play a meaningful role in both platform evolution and customer success.
