📋 Description

• Own the end-to-end technical strategy and execution roadmap for AI-enabled product capabilities across the StarCompliance platform. • Drive adoption of generative AI, LLM-based architectures, predictive analytics, graph intelligence, recommendation systems, and semantic search where these deliver measurable customer value. • Own the data foundation strategy, ensuring clean, trusted, well-governed data underpins every AI initiative. • Build robust MLOps capabilities, including model training pipelines, versioning, monitoring, A/B experimentation, and drift detection. • Champion pragmatic AI adoption within engineering and product development, accelerating how we build, not just what we build. • Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing Data & AI organisation across data engineering, data science, ML engineering and analytics. • Work closely with the CTO and executive team to align AI and data initiatives with company strategy and commercial priorities. • Partner with the Product Director, AI & Data Products, co-owning the AI roadmap, prioritisation, and delivery outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven delivery of production-grade AI and ML systems at scale, not just experimentation. • Deep experience with generative AI and LLM-based applications architectures (fine-tuning, prompt engineering, RAG, agentic frameworks). • Strong knowledge of vector databases and semantic search (e.g. Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Azure AI Search). • Deep background in modern data engineering, ELT/ETL patterns, and large-scale data pipeline architectures. • Hands-on experience with Snowflake (or equivalent cloud data warehouse) and associated data modeling patterns. • Strong Azure ecosystem experience: Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, Azure OpenAI Service, and Azure Machine Learning. • Strong software engineering fundamentals and the credibility to engage at technical depth with senior engineers. • Experience with cloud-native, microservices, and event-driven architectures on Azure (or equivalent hyperscaler). • Ability to make sound build vs buy vs integrate decisions across the AI and data tooling landscape. • Proven experience building and leading high-performing Data / AI engineering teams. • Experience within financial services, regtech, compliance, surveillance, or similarly regulated domains. • Strong commercial instincts — the ability to connect technical investment to customer value and business outcomes.
