You will work across application engineering, cloud platforms, CI/CD, security and production operations to ensure AI solutions are reliable, maintainable and ready for sustained use. You will work closely with the Data & AI Office (DAIO), product managers, information technology teams, cybersecurity teams and vendors to operationalise approved AI models, tools and prototypes into production-ready applications.

What you will be working on:

• Translate approved AI prototypes and use cases into secure, production-ready applications and technical solutions.


• Develop application, API, integration and workflow components required to operationalise AI solutions.


• Integrate AI-enabled solutions with applications, databases and digital platforms.


• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation and controlled release processes.


• Configure application environments, containers and supporting cloud or enterprise platform services.


• Implement security, privacy and Responsible AI controls required for production deployment.


• Monitor application health, integration performance and operational metrics, and troubleshoot production incidents.


• Maintain technical, architecture, deployment and compliance artefacts to support audit, operations and BAU handover.

These responsibilities reflect the role's focus on solution engineering, integration, DevSecOps, production operations and security/governance.

What we are looking for:

Key Competencies

• Deep Critical Thinking - Analyse complex technical issues, assess design and implementation trade-offs, and develop robust solutions based on evidence and engineering principles.
