• Collaborate with data and AI teams to support analytics, AI‑powered services, automation capabilities, and enterprise reporting requirements.
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity, governance, and data management requirements.
• Partner with product managers and service designers to translate user needs into technical solutions.
• Engage stakeholders to explain technical options, trade‑offs, and delivery implications.
• Mentor and coach engineers, fostering strong engineering and architectural capabilities across delivery squads.
