Job description

Responsibilities

• Find the wins - analyse manual workflows, size the prize, and build a prioritised AI backlog.
• Design & ship - develop, test and launch GenAI-powered or rules-based automations in a modern cloud environment. You pick the best tools (e.g. serverless functions, workflow engines, RPA or low-code platforms) and own the build.
• Integrate systems - connect SaaS, internal APIs, data stores and messaging queues; enforce secure auth and robust error handling.
• Build for production - set up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code and observability so automations stay reliable and auditable.
• Craft great prompts - author, version and refine prompt templates for large-language-model calls; experiment with prompt frameworks and retrieval-augmented techniques.
• (Optional) fine-tune - explore training or fine-tuning domain-specific models where prompt-only approaches fall short.
• Bake in compliance - design with UK Gambling Commission rules, ISO 27001 and GDPR in mind, partnering with Compliance from day one.
• Enable others - document run-books, run demos, and mentor colleagues to foster an automation-first culture.
• Prove value - capture qualitative feedback and simple metrics that demonstrate meaningful progress on AI adoption. 6 months: A reusable automation framework adopted by multiple teams; positive stakeholder feedback. 12 months: A clear roadmap and tool-kit for a scaled IA Centre of Excellence; visible shift in culture toward automation.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production software, data pipelines or process automations
• Hands-on expertise with at least one major cloud platform (Google Cloud, AWS or Azure) and a scripting language such as Python or TypeScript/Node.js.
• Practical experience delivering solutions that call GenAI or machine-learning services
• Solid grounding in RESTful APIs, webhooks, auth (OAuth2, service accounts) and event-driven design
• Comfort with Git, CI/CD and IaC (Terraform, Cloud Deploy, DevOps pipelines, etc.)
• Security-first mindset and appreciation of regulated environments.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in gambling, fintech or similarly regulated domains.
• Exposure to RPA / low-code suites (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Platform, App Script, etc.).
• Process-mining, Lean Six Sigma or other continuous-improvement tooling.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, data warehouses or business-intelligence platforms.
