About Scrumconnect Consulting Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy, recognised for delivering impactful and innovative technology solutions across UK government departments. Our work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference - and we're now scaling that expertise into large, high-stakes AI adoption programmes across the public sector. Overview We're looking for a Lead AI Engineer to be the hands-on technical builder at the core of a large-scale AI Operating Model programme for a central government department. Where the Lead Technical Architect sets direction, you turn it into working, production-grade systems - semantic search, RAG pipelines, and broader generative AI capability - integrated into complex Legacy and multi-cloud environments handling high-volume, sensitive public sector data. You'll work inside a collaborative "Rainbow Team" alongside civil servants and the wider delivery team, staying close to the code while also mentoring engineers and helping build the internal capability the department needs to eventually run these systems without long-term reliance on external suppliers. Key Responsibilities Hands-On Build & Delivery Design, build, and ship production AI components - RAG pipelines, retrieval and embedding infrastructure, orchestration logic, and integration layers - writing high-quality, tested, maintainable code and staying close to implementation rather than delegating it away. Technical Leadership Within the Squad Lead the engineering practice within your delivery team: set coding standards, review designs and pull requests, unblock technically complex problems, and mentor other engineers day to day. Responsible AI in Practice Implement the guardrails the Architect designs - bias mitigation checks, evaluation harnesses, human-in-the-loop review points - so that Responsible AI principles (ATRS alignment, NCSC "Secure by Design, " meaningful human control) are enforced in the running system, not just on paper. Reliability, Security & Observability Build AI services to be secure-by-default and observable in production: logging, monitoring, alerting, and rollback paths appropriate for sensitive public-sector data and high-availability requirements. Knowledge Transfer & Capability Uplift Work within the OKUA (Ownership, Knowledge, Understanding, Awareness) framework and "Docs-as-Code" practices to pair with and upskill internal government engineers, so capability genuinely transfers rather than staying locked in the consultancy team. Efficient, Sustainable Engineering Favour low-modality, resource-efficient designs where they meet the need - right-sizing models and infrastructure rather than defaulting to the largest/most expensive option - in line with the programme's Green AI and Net Zero commitments. Required Skills & Experience Loosely mapped to the Government Digital and Data (DDaT) framework, at Lead Engineer level: - Coding and Scripting (Expert) - writing production-grade, well-tested code; setting standards for others; comfortable owning components end-to-end. - Systems Design (Practitioner) - designing components that integrate cleanly into a wider, architect-defined system; understanding trade-offs across the stack. - Data Engineering (Practitioner) - building reliable pipelines to ingest, clean, and prepare data (including unstructured/Legacy sources) for AI consumption. - DevOps/Continuous Delivery (Practitioner) - CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployment for AI workloads specifically (not just conventional web services). - Testing & Evaluation (Practitioner) - beyond conventional unit/integration testing, building evaluation harnesses for AI system quality: retrieval accuracy, hallucination rate, bias/fairness checks. - Problem Solving (Practitioner) - diagnosing and resolving complex, ambiguous technical issues under production pressure. - Agile Working (Practitioner) - delivering iteratively within a blended, multidisciplinary team including civil servants. Given the scale of this programme, direct hands-on depth across the AI engineering stack is essential: - Strong general-purpose programming (most commonly Python) applied to AI/ML systems - Semantic search, vector/embedding infrastructure, and RAG pipeline construction - LLM orchestration and agentic frameworks (eg LangChain/LlamaIndex-style tooling, multi-agent patterns) - Prompt engineering and systematic evaluation/guardrail tooling (hallucination detection, safety testing) - LLMOps/MLOps - model versioning, deployment, monitoring, and rollback for AI services in production - Cloud-native engineering across major providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including their AI/ML tooling - Containerisation and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable, auditable deployments - Secure-by-design engineering appropriate to sensitive public-sector data Desirable Experience - AWS/Azure/GCP certifications (associate or professional level) - Prior delivery of AI or digital services within UK central government or wider public sector - Experience fine-tuning or adapting open-source/foundation models for a specific domain - Open-source contributions or active engagement in AI/ML engineering communities - Experience designing for sustainability/Green IT commitments - The technological capabilities can span a wide range of AI and automation tools, including Virtual Assistants, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Frontier LLMs, and Predictive AI. A strong candidate would have experience/exposure to nuances of these tools/technologies. Location and Working Pattern Hybrid, based from Newcastle upon Tyne, with on-site attendance required for workshops, knowledge-transfer sessions, and onboarding. All production system and data access must be performed solely from within the UK. How We Work Our values: - Collaboration - we are stronger as a team than as individuals; we tackle problems and celebrate wins together. - Create Value Early - we find the quickest route from idea to product, because our clients rely on us to do what's best. - Integrity - teamwork requires trust; we can always be relied upon to uphold the highest standards. - Commitment - no matter what, no matter how, we give our 100% to keeping our promises and achieving our goals. - Diversity and Inclusion - we believe diversity drives innovation and better outcomes, and we're committed to an inclusive environment where every individual is valued, respected, and supported. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including women, people with disabilities, and diverse communities, as well as those seeking flexible working arrangements. As a Disability Confident Level 1 employer, we provide reasonable adjustments throughout recruitment and employment to ensure equal opportunity for all. How to Apply Please submit your CV. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview. This role requires BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) clearance - please flag in your application if you already hold clearance.

Enable Technology Borehamwood Full-time Optional WFH Fridays The role You'll be the first voice our clients hear and the first pair of hands on every incident - which makes you the person who defines what working with Enable feels like. This isn't a call-logging job. We want engineers who fix things at first contact, spot patterns before they become problems, and hand over escalations so well-documented that 2nd line thanks them for it. Who we are We're Enable Technology, a Borehamwood-based MSP of around 20 people, supporting a diverse and growing SME client base across London and the South East. We act as far more than an IT supplier to our clients - for many of them we're their virtual IT director, shaping strategy as well as keeping the lights on. We're independent, profitable and entirely free of private equity ownership. Technical decisions here are made on operational merit, not quarterly EBITDA targets - and our CEO has over 25 years of enterprise IT leadership behind him, so good technical arguments win. And the team is the reason people stay. We're a genuinely friendly, supportive and helpful bunch: engineers here back each other up by default, questions are welcomed rather than judged, and nobody gets left to struggle alone on a hard ticket. It's a culture we protect deliberately as we grow - and it's the first thing you'll notice when you walk in. Where we're heading We're building an automation-first, AI-enabled MSP - proactive by design, not reactive break-fix. Our platform is HaloPSA for service management, NinjaOne for RMM, CIPP for Microsoft 365 security automation, and Hudu for documentation. Self-healing scripts, intelligent alerting and predictive maintenance aren't buzzwords here; they're how we're evolving the business. For you, that means less repetitive firefighting than a typical 1st line role: our tooling handles the noise so you can spend your time on genuine troubleshooting and clients who need a human. What you'll actually be doing Owning inbound incidents and requests in HaloPSA - triaging, prioritising and resolving as many as possible at first contact Day-to-day Microsoft 365 administration: accounts, licences, mailbox permissions, Teams and SharePoint requests Troubleshooting Windows 10/11 endpoints, printers, and everyday connectivity issues (DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi) Acting on NinjaOne monitoring alerts - resolving what you can, deploying updates and patches, and flagging what needs deeper investigation Keeping Hudu documentation accurate as you work - our knowledge base is only as good as the engineers who feed it Escalating to 2nd line with full diagnostic context: what you tried, what you ruled out, what you suspect Our stack Service management: HaloPSA (PSA and ticketing), Hudu (documentation and knowledge base) Monitoring and automation: NinjaOne RMM, CIPP for multi-tenant Microsoft 365 security Microsoft cloud: Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Entra ID, Conditional Access Also in the mix: Windows 10/11, macOS and Jamf, Mimecast, hosted telephony What you'll bring At least a year in a commercial IT support role - MSP experience preferred, but a strong internal service desk background counts Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 administration and Windows 10/11 troubleshooting Networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, VPN Patience, empathy, and the ability to explain technical things to non-technical people without jargon Genuine customer service instinct - you build rapport quickly and clients ask for you by name Bonus points Exposure to Intune, Autopilot or Entra ID Experience with macOS/Jamf or hosted telephony platforms Microsoft fundamentals certifications (MS-900, AZ-900) or working towards them Any scripting curiosity - even basic PowerShell Building your IT career There's no better place to forge an IT career than an MSP. In an internal IT team you learn one environment; here you'll work across dozens of clients, industries and technology stacks, so you compress years of experience into months. Different infrastructures, different problems, different people - it's the fastest way to build genuine range as an engineer, and it's why so many of the best people in IT started at an MSP. Within Enable, our service desk runs on a clear 1st - 2nd - 3rd line ladder, and we're scaling from around 20 to 40 staff over the next two years - so the roles above you are being created, not waited for. We promote on capability, not tenure. The expected path from this role is 2nd line, and we'll build you a training plan to get there: structured exposure to server and infrastructure work, Intune policy management, and our automation tooling. Pay, benefits and working pattern Salary: £29,000 - £34,000 DOE Holiday: 22 days, plus a day off for your birthday (or the nearest weekday) Working pattern: office-based in Borehamwood, with optional work-from-home Fridays; core hours 09:00-17:30 Perkbox: employee perks platform, with guaranteed points for your birthday and work anniversary Team culture: weekly team takeaway lunch and quarterly socials Kit: modern, top-tier hardware and software - the same standard we hold for our clients Training: vendor-led training on HaloPSA, NinjaOne and CIPP, plus funded certifications tailored to your development Why you should apply If you're good at 1st line, you've probably experienced being treated as a human answering machine. That's not this. You'll work with genuinely modern tooling, learn from engineers above you who actually mentor, and join at the exact point in our growth where good people move up fast. Apply - we'd love to talk.
