- Proactively develop and execute recommendations for adopting new technologies and changing our ways of working to stay ahead of the competition.

- Act as a technical expert and coach for customers, accurately estimate large work-streams and defend rationale to stakeholders.

## Requirements

- You are a technical expert among your peers, capable of going deep on particular topics and demonstrating breadth of knowledge to solve almost any problem.

- You possess strong Python skills and practical experience operationalising models using frameworks like Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.

- You are an expert in at least one major Cloud Solution Provider (e.g., Azure, GCP, AWS) and have led teams to build full-stack web applications.

- You have hands-on experience with containerisation tools like Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes.

- You can successfully manage and coach a team of engineers, setting team-wide development goals to improve client delivery.
