- Build, mentor and scale high-performing full-stack and machine-learning engineering teams.

GenAI & AI Strategy:

- Build scalable, production-grade GenAI, ML and enterprise data capabilities.

- Own GenAI/LLM solution architecture.

- Architect solutions involving AI agents, autonomous workflows and multi-agent orchestration.

- Lead the development of intelligent automation, data extraction and decision-intelligence solutions.

- Provide hands-on architectural oversight for LLMs, applied AI and deep-learning products.

- Build sophisticated document intelligence and intelligent document automation platforms, including solutions comparable to patent parsing, legal workflow automation and structured decision systems.

What Success Looks Like:

- AI Transformation: Build enterprise-grade AI capabilities leveraging GenAI, LLMs, ML, AI agents and data engineering.

- Platform Scaling: Architect and scale the technology platform to support enterprise customers and global growth.

- Engineering Culture: Build a high-performance engineering organisation focused on ownership, innovation, execution and continuous learning.
