Principal Technical Lead — Cloud, AI & Platform Engineering

Shape the platforms. Set the standards.

Are you the engineer other engineers look to when the hard calls need to be made?

This is an opportunity to take architectural authority over cloud native, microservices and AI enabled platforms at genuine enterprise scale, and to leave the organisation stronger than you found it.

What you'll do

Lead. Provide technical leadership and architectural direction for the design, governance and evolution of cloud native, microservices based and AI enabled platforms — aligned to enterprise architecture, security and business transformation objectives.

Modernise. Establish modern engineering and AI delivery practices: AI enabled SDLC, DevSecOps, CI/CD, observability, automated testing and platform engineering standards that make delivery secure, scalable and reliable.

Drive transformation. Champion technology modernisation and platform adoption — microservices enhancement, containerisation, enterprise integration and reusable patterns that lift scalability, maintainability and operational resilience.

Why this role?

• Real influence — you'll shape system builds and engineering decisions, not just review them
• AI at the core — guide the adoption of AI across the full service delivery lifecycle
• Capability transfer built in — mentoring and uplift are part of the mandate, not an afterthought
• Enterprise scale — complex, meaningful platforms that matter
