This is more than just a senior tech role. It’s your chance to join a fast-growing digital transformation powerhouse, known for solving complex challenges across public and private sectors. With a reputation for doing work that matters—on a national and global scale—you'll help define cutting-edge solutions using the latest in AI, cloud, and data architecture.

• Deep expertise across modern data and AI platforms—from real-time streaming to serverless and ML pipelines.

• Proven track record delivering scalable, distributed applications in the cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• Fluency in data integration, event-driven architectures, and customer-centric design.

• Ability to guide teams, engage C-level stakeholders, and make strategic technical decisions with commercial awareness.
