What Our Engineers Do
- Data Architect — Designs the platform and the data model. Before anyone writes a pipeline.
- Data Engineer — Builds and runs the pipelines everything else stands on.
- Data Scientist — Finds the model that works.
- ML Engineer — Takes the model out of the notebook and makes it survive production.
- MLOps Engineer — Keeps the deployed model correct as the world drifts underneath it.
- Analytics Engineer — Turns the output into the numbers your business decides on.
- AI Engineer — Ships LLM and GenAI systems into production.
- Software Engineer — Wires it into the app your customers actually touch.
- AI Adoption Manager — Gets your people using it. A shipped model nobody opens is a cost.
- Virtual Forward Deployed Engineer — Sits with your business, not just your backlog. Works out what is worth building, then builds it.
- Agile Scrum Master — Runs the sprints, the ceremonies, and the delivery. Leads the pod in Managed Service.
