Head of Platform Engineering (AI) - Senior Technology Leader - £250,000

A leading consultancy firm are seeking a highly skilled AI platform engineer to join the business and take ownership of a global, large scale, proprietary enterprise AI-first platform. The role offers complete autonomy over the build, architecture and scaling of the platform globally.

The right engineer should bring experience with Neo4j, production grade LLM / AI capabilities (RAG, embeddings, inference pipelines), Kafka, Java / JVM and API-first architecture.

The position offers a rare modernisation opportunity, you'd be transitioning from a third-party engineering team to inhouse - asses, rationalise and rebuild governance, make decisions on build vs buy. The environment is real AI production and scaling.

Responsibilities:

• Build a global engineering capability
