AI Engineering Manager - Senior Infrastructure Delivery Manager
Team: UKI Platform & Enablement – AI Platform
Role Overview
This is a critical leadership role within the Flutter UK & Ireland AI Platform initiative. The AI Engineering Team Manager will be responsible for building and leading a high-performing engineering squad across multiple locations, focused on delivering core components of a multi-tenant, enterprise-grade AI platform. This platform will underpin the next generation of AI capabilities across the business — from internal assistants (e.g. Flint) through to advanced agentic systems and domain-specific AI services.
You will combine hands-on technical leadership with people leadership, ensuring high-quality engineering delivery while shaping best practices for building scalable, secure, and production-ready AI systems on AWS.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering Leadership
- Build, lead, and develop a cross-functional engineering team (backend / full stack)
- Set engineering standards, patterns, and ways of working aligned to platform-first principles
- Drive a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement
Platform Delivery
- Lead the design and delivery of core AI platform services (APIs, orchestration layers, integration services)
- Contribute to the development of a multi-tenant AI control plane with built-in governance, security, and observability
- Ensure solutions are scalable, reusable, and aligned to enterprise architecture standards
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
