This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, DevOps, data engineering, and applied AI, with a focus on productionising AI services safely and consistently.\nYou will design, build, deploy, and operate cloud-native AI workloads, including LLM-powered services, agentic workflows, data pipelines, and reusable platform components. You will play a key role in improving engineering standards, automation, observability, release discipline, and operational readiness across AXIS AI platforms.\nThis is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who can take ownership from design through production support, work effectively with distributed teams, and help shape pragmatic, maintainable approaches to enterprise AI delivery.\nWhat will you do in this role?\nDesign, build, and operate production-grade AI services, data pipelines, and platform capabilities on Azure and Databricks.\nDevelop LLM-powered and agentic workflows that support business process automation, document intelligence, orchestration, and decision support.\nExpose AI capabilities through secure, maintainable APIs and Azure Function or Container App backend services, including FastAPI-based or other services where appropriate.\nOwn CI/CD delivery pipelines for AI and data workloads, including build, release, deployment, validation, and environment promotion.\nImplement infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Azure-native tooling, ensuring environments are repeatable, secure, and supportable.\nBuild and manage Databricks jobs, workflows, asset bundles, and data engineering pipelines.\nImplement monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting using OpenTelemetry or equivalent observability tools.\nSupport production AI systems, including incident response, troubleshooting, operational runbooks, release readiness, and service improvement.\nContribute to architecture decisions, engineering standards, reusable patterns, and platform strategy.\nCollaborate with engineering, data science, product, security, infrastructure, and business teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.\nMentor engineers, lead technical enablement sessions, and promote strong engineering practices across the team.\nWhat will you need to succeed?\nRequired skills and experience\nStrong production-level Python engineering experience, with the ability to build maintainable, tested, and supportable services.\nExperience with PySpark or equivalent large-scale data processing frameworks.\nHands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or similar tooling.\nExperience deploying and supporting workloads on Azure, including identity, access control, networking, and secure resource configuration.\nPractical experience with infrastructure-as-code, preferably Terraform.\nExperience building APIs, backend services, and service integrations for data or AI workloads.\nExperience with monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, and operational support for production systems.\nStrong engineering discipline across testing, code quality, branching, release management, and automated validation.\nAbility to troubleshoot across application, data, infrastructure, deployment, and security boundaries.\nStrong communication skills, with the ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nDesirable skills and experience\nExperience with Databricks Jobs, Workflows, Asset Bundles, Apps, and medallion-style data architectures.\nExperience with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, LLM-based application development, or agent SDKs and frameworks.\nExperience with MLflow, model lifecycle management, evaluation, tracing, and AI observability.\nExperience with containers, Docker, Kubernetes, AKS, OpenShift, or equivalent container platforms.\nExperience building reusable platform components, shared libraries, templates, or engineering standards.\nExperience working in regulated environments with strong security, governance, auditability, and operational control requirements.\nWhat good looks like\nAI services are delivered with clear ownership from design through deployment and production support.\nDelivery pipelines are automated, repeatable, secure, and aligned to release management standards.\nSystems are observable, supportable, and designed with reliability, scalability, and operational readiness in mind.\nEngineering approaches are pragmatic, maintainable, reusable, and suitable for enterprise adoption.\nIncidents, risks, and technical dependencies are surfaced early, communicated clearly, and resolved collaboratively.\nThe engineer improves the wider team through mentoring, standards, reusable patterns, and technical leadership.\nRole factors\nThis role requires close collaboration with distributed technology, business, data, security, infrastructure, and vendor teams.\nThe successful candidate will be expected to work independently, manage competing priorities, and provide clear technical leadership.\nThe role involves hands-on engineering delivery as well as contribution to standards, architecture, production support, and operational improvement.\nThe candidate should be comfortable engaging with stakeholders, explaining technical decisions clearly, and supporting local and global team objectives.\nThis
