In response to our ongoing AI transformation, we are looking for a Senior R&D Operations Specialist to be the person who owns, administers, and evolves the AI developer tools that our engineers depend on every day.

What we need you to do and be

Bring your ideas. Challenge ours. Grow with us.

• You will take ownership of the AI and developer tools our R&D organisation adopts - administering, configuring, and managing them at scale across 300-400 engineers

• You will monitor tool usage, costs, and anomalies, and put the guardrails in place that keep our AI tooling safe and cost-efficient

• You will research how our tools can be configured and evolved to give engineers as much freedom as possible within sensible boundaries

• You will stay current on the rapidly-changing AI tooling landscape and bring well-reasoned recommendations to the team

• You will work with vendors, internal stakeholders in R&D Operations and Business IT, and the wider engineering community to ensure we are delivering what the organisation needs

What you'll bring to the table

Our five values are our playbook. We speak up when things don't make sense. We stop doing what doesn't add value. We stay curious, back each other up, and make space for both innovation and laughter.

• Hands-on experience owning or administering at least one AI or developer tool at organisational scale - e.g. ChatGPT Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, Claude / Anthropic, Cursor, or similar

• Technical depth: you understand how these tools actually work under the hood, not just as an end user

• A self-management mindset - you take ownership, drive things forward without being told what to do, and are comfortable being the person with the most domain knowledge on the team

• Ability and willingness to build structure in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment

• People skills to navigate stakeholders and develop the vendor management side over time

• Comfortable with using AI in your everyday work and developing the use of AI tools as a larger organisational strategy

• Fluent in written and spoken English

• As a bonus, we consider the experience of working with an international team, plus great communication and organisational skills

What we offer in return

You'll be supported and given the space to thrive. We offer meaningful work, flexibility, and a culture that backs you to share your voice and be authentic.

• An international career and learning opportunities

• A rapidly growing and financially robust software company with exciting opportunities for career growth, also in the future

• Flexibility in how and where you work

• Room to thrive in a fast-growing global company with a good market position

• Practical benefits that support work, family, wellness, and everyday life

• Annual leave

• Diverse, inclusive, and supportive work culture

• Work that meaningfully reduces waste and improves sustainability

• Ownership, autonomy and flat hierarchies

• Two paid volunteering days each year

• Real strategic ownership - you are the person who decides how our AI tools are administered, configured, and evolved. This is not a support function.

• You'll be working at the absolute forefront of where software development is going, in a company that has fully committed to the AI transformation
