- Build secure integrations between internal systems, databases, APIs, document repositories, market data providers and approved AI platforms.
- Work with business stakeholders, Technology, Risk and Compliance to identify and deliver high-value AI use cases.
- Help move AI prototypes into governed, maintainable and production-ready environments.
- Build dashboards and management information using Power BI or similar tools.
- Support model governance, including testing, documentation, monitoring, approval evidence, data quality and human-in-the-loop controls.
- Apply appropriate development, source control, testing, release management and support handover practices.
- Produce reusable technical documentation, runbooks and engineering patterns.
