• Analyse data to uncover insights and support data‑driven decision‑making
• Where relevant, design, build, and operationalise machine learning and Generative AI solutions
• Apply strong engineering and quality practices (testing, CI/CD, documentation, governance)
• Work as a trusted consultant, taking ownership of outcomes and contributing to solution shaping and client success

• Hands‑on experience with machine learning or Generative AI solutions
• Exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, embeddings, or AI integration into business systems
