Key Role & Responsibilities

1) Agentic Delivery Leadership (LLM + Multi‑Agent)

  • Define and lead the agentic delivery vision and roadmap for data engineering / platform modernisation engagements.
  • Design multi‑agent workflows to accelerate delivery across the SDLC (e.g., requirements decomposition, code generation, test generation, review assistance, runbook creation, incident triage support).
  • Establish standards for prompt engineering, agent orchestration, evaluation, and quality gating (accuracy, hallucination controls, regression safety).
  • Create reusable accelerators, templates, and reference implementations for delivery teams.

2) Data Migration & Modernisation Program Delivery

  • Own end‑to‑end delivery for large data migration / modernisation programmes (on‑prem cloud, legacy DW lakehouse/warehouse, ETL ELT).
  • Translate business goals into a delivery plan: milestones, sprint plans, dependency management, RAID, release strategy.
  • Drive engineering excellence for ingestion, transformation, modelling, governance, and consumption layers (semantic/BI enablement where needed).
  • Ensure performance, scalability, reliability, and cost governance are built into designs (not bolted on later).

3) DataOps, CI/CD and SDLC Acceleration

  • Institutionalise DataOps practices: CI/CD for pipelines, automated testing, data quality checks, observability, and secure deployments.
  • Implement "shift‑left" quality via automated checks (unit, integration, data validation, performance) and agentic support to reduce cycle time.
  • Standardise documentation artefacts (architecture, test evidence, runbooks, SOPs) and automate generation where practical.

4) People, Agile & Stakeholder Leadership

  • Lead and mentor large cross‑functional agile teams (engineering, QA, platform, analysts), building a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.
  • Facilitate agile ceremonies and delivery governance; coach scrum teams to improve velocity without compromising quality.
  • Be a client‑facing leader: run workshops, communicate trade‑offs, manage expectations, and provide roadmap visibility.

5) Security, Risk & Responsible AI

  • Establish controls for data security, privacy, and compliance when using LLMs/agents (data handling, access controls, logging, secrets management).
  • Define guardrails for safe usage: redaction, grounded responses (RAG patterns where needed), approval workflows, and auditability.

Must Have (Core Requirements)

  • 20+ years overall experience in data engineering / platform delivery, including large-scale migration/modernisation programmes.
  • 10+ years experience leading large delivery teams (multi‑pod agile) and driving complex client outcomes.
  • Strong hands‑on foundation in data engineering concepts: data modelling, pipeline design, testing strategy, performance tuning, and production support.
  • Proven experience implementing DataOps/CI/CD practices for data platforms (version control, automated testing, release management).
  • Practical experience with LLMs and applied GenAI in engineering workflows (tool use, agent patterns, evaluation, governance).
  • Strong client management skills: requirements workshops, solution options, trade‑offs, and delivery roadmap execution.
  • Excellent communication skills-able to explain complex technical approaches to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Good to Have (Preferred)

  • Experience with cloud data platforms and modern stacks (any of Azure/AWS/GCP; lakehouse/warehouse ecosystems).
  • Exposure to multi‑agent orchestration frameworks and/or building internal developer platforms / accelerators.
  • Experience implementing governance patterns: RBAC, masking, row/column security, encryption, secure sharing.
  • Domain exposure across industries (BFSI, Insurance, Healthcare, Retail, etc.) and leading distributed global teams.
