AI Engineering Lead 
Join a major digital innovation firm helping enterprise clients modernise software delivery through AI-assisted engineering and SDLC transformation. This role is suited to a senior engineer or consultant who understands both modern software delivery and the practical application of AI tooling across enterprise development environments.
The Role
You'll assess how AI can be applied across the software development lifecycle to improve engineering productivity, quality, documentation, and delivery outcomes. This includes evaluating AI tooling, running pilot programs, assessing enterprise readiness, and helping define scalable adoption frameworks that balance innovation with governance and risk management.
This is a highly consultative and hands-on role requiring strong technical credibility, practical AI tooling experience, and the ability to engage senior stakeholders on the realistic application of AI within enterprise software engineering environments.
