Lead Engineer - AIOps

Presidio, Where Teamwork and Innovation Shape the Future At Presidio, we're at the forefront of a global technology revolution, transforming industries through cutting-edge digital solutions and next-generation AI. We empower businesses-and their customers-to achieve more through innovation, automation, and intelligent insights.

The Role As a Lead AIOps Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of application development, platform engineering, and AI-driven operations - taking ownership of technical workstreams, guiding your team through delivery, and ensuring solutions meet client expectations at every stage. You will make day-to-day technical decisions, provide hands-on direction, and bridge the gap between engineering execution and client needs, ensuring solutions are well-designed, maintainable, and delivered with quality.

This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable writing code and leading a small team - driving engineering rigour, championing AI-accelerated development practices, and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement. You will engage with clients during delivery, participate in solution design discussions, and represent Presidio's engineering standards as a trusted practitioner on the ground.
