Job Description

Senior Data & AI Engineer - Google Cloud

London / Hybrid | Data, Analytics & AI | Full-time

Who We Are

At BIP, we Dare to Think and Act Differently, helping organisations shape the future through bold ideas, innovative technology, and human-centred design. We partner with clients to create long-lasting value, empower people as creators of their own future, and work together because collaboration drives impact.

About the Role

As a Senior Data & AI Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and deploying innovative end-to-end data and AI solutions that transform our clients' technical environments. You will build scalable data infrastructure, develop modern ML and generative AI solutions, and bring cutting-edge engineering excellence into production.

This role is designed for meaningful impact. While we operate flexibly, we believe our best work happens when we connect. You will spend time on-site-at our London office or with clients-for collaboration sessions, workshops, and team delivery.

What You Will Do

You will lead the design and delivery of modern data and AI solutions, including:

Engineering & Architecture

• Design, build, and maintain automated data pipelines (ETL, ingestion, storage) using Google Cloud.
• Develop scalable machine learning models (supervised, unsupervised, and transformer-based) and deploy AI agents on Google Cloud.
• Industrialise ML solutions for production, ensuring performance, security, reliability, and governance.
• Implement high-performing databases, data models, and storage layers to power analytics and reporting.
• Apply and enforce strong data governance standards to ensure accuracy, quality, and integrity.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work closely with clients, data scientists, architects, and analysts to translate business challenges into robust technical solutions.
• Apply MLOps, version control (e.g., Git), and agile delivery practices across full-lifecycle model development.
• Continuously explore emerging trends in cloud engineering, big data, AI/ML, LLMs, and generative AI-bringing forward new ideas and approaches.

What You Bring

We're looking for a strong technical leader with a consulting mindset and a passion for cutting-edge data and AI engineering.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL.
• Deep hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP); exposure to AWS or Azure is a plus.
• Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms, statistics, and data modelling.
• Experience with MLOps tooling and Cloud ML platforms.
• Experience developing generative AI solutions and AI agents.
• Expertise in big data and ETL/ELT technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Hive, BigQuery, Redshift, Airflow).
• Strong working knowledge of relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Experience with version control and CI/CD pipelines.
• Competency in at least one additional programming language (e.g., Java, Scala).

Problem Solving & Project Execution

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving ability, with a methodical and detail-oriented approach.
• A track record of contributing to technical decision-making and solving varied engineering challenges.
• Ability to independently design and deliver end-to-end data solutions.
• Comfortable evaluating and integrating emerging technologies into existing architectures.

Collaboration & Communication

• Entrepreneurial consulting mindset, with strong client orientation and proactive identification of new opportunities.
• Highly effective communicator-able to translate complex topics for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience providing expert guidance during presales and delivery phases.
• Skilled at synthesising information and delivering clear, concise updates to stakeholders.
• Strong motivation to work in an international, cross-country environment.

Leadership & Teamwork

• Willingness to mentor junior team members and support team development.
• Provides constructive feedback and recognises achievements.
• Balances individual and team goals with a collaborative, proactive approach.
• Demonstrates empathy, supportiveness, and a commitment to collective success.

Why Join BIP

You will join a fast-growing, forward-thinking team where your ideas shape real-world impact. At BIP, you'll have the freedom to innovate, the support of global experts, and opportunities to grow as a leader in Data & AI.
