The role will require someone who is able to modernise the data science infrastructure across a global business and also help deploy AI and Machine Learning models at scale

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, engineers, and IT to ensure seamless integration of systems
• Develop and maintain code following best code and engineering practices
• Automate deployment processes to ensure rapid and reliable delivery of project environments.
• Document processes, workflows, and technical guidelines to support knowledge transfer.

Desirable Requirements:

• Strong background in Data Engineering
• Experience with Spark/Pyspark would be very beneficial
