About the role

  • Tech Lead at ECA International Group focusing on AI-native data platform evolution and team management. Leading the adoption of AI technologies across data acquisition and utilization strategies.

Responsibilities

  • Shape how a modern enterprise becomes truly AI-native.
  • Evolve our existing data platform into a product-facing, AI-ready foundation.
  • Partner across disciplines and lead a team in a supportive environment.
  • Take full accountability for the delivery of high-quality software products.
  • Promote AI-native ways of working across product, data, and engineering.
  • Manage and mentor your engineering team, fostering a collaborative environment.
  • Collaborate with product owners and stakeholders to maintain technical roadmaps.
  • Enforce rigorous quality standards with test-driven development and code reviews.

Requirements

  • Data platform evolution: Take our current AWS/Snowflake/S3/Postgres setup and enable AI/RAG, product consumption, and multi-tenant access.
  • Data acquisition & ingestion: Design multi-source ingestion (APIs, scraping/crawling, file drops, crowdsourcing, agent-based pipelines).
  • AI as a consumption layer: Build LLM/RAG endpoints on top of our data and content as a service.
  • Partnering with Analytics: Give the research teams clean, modelled, well-documented data.
  • Guardrails, governance, and quality: Keep AI-generated code within SDLC, code review, and security bounds.
  • Team leadership: Lead a small technical team (data/AI/ingestion).
  • Delivery & Accountability: Take full accountability for the delivery of high-quality software products, owning both successes and challenges.
  • Technical Direction & Architecture: Guide technical direction, establish best practices.
  • Agile & Product Collaboration: Ensure Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, stand-ups) are followed.
  • Quality & Continuous Improvement: Enforce rigorous quality standards including test-driven development (TDD), code reviews, and automated testing.
  • Data-first mindset: You understand how data arrives in an organisation: via APIs, files, partner feeds, human/crowd sourced inputs.
  • AI-positive, not AI-sceptic: This role is for someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about AI/LLMs/agents.
  • Enterprise-aware: design with security, PII and tenancy in mind.
  • Builder + Manager: You’re happy to open the IDE and build the pipeline, but you can also run a small team.
