This role sits in the Data & AI Governance function and focuses on platform engineering and infrastructure ownership to ensure the reliable and scalable operation, integration, and development of Data & AI Governance platforms across the FT.
The role is responsible primarily for designing, integrating, optimising, and maintaining cloud-native platform infrastructure and services enabling metadata management, data lineage, data quality, data access, data retention, data compliance and data sharing in a dynamic, cloud-native data platform.
The successful candidate is expected to take technical ownership of the key data governance systems, namely SageMaker Unified Studio (SMUS) and the infrastructure-as-code solution Data Innovation Workbench (DIW), ensuring their reliability, security, scalability, and effective integration within the broader FT data platform.
The role contributes to the FT’s broader Data & AI Governance strategy by ensuring that governance technology is robust, well-integrated and capable of scaling with increasing demand or in response to evolving industry best practices.
The role will report directly into the Data Governance team but requires close collaboration with the FT’s DevOps, Data Engineering, BI, Data Science and Cyber Security functions.
Data & AI Governance capabilities at the FT are increasingly dependent on well-integrated, cloud-native tools. Currently, the technical ownership of these tools is distributed across multiple teams.
As adoption grows, and the governance tools ecosystem expands, there is a need for clear technical ownership centralised in the Data Governance team to enforce consistent infrastructure standards and scalable integration patterns.
These responsibilities reflect the current scope of the role and will evolve over time as the FT advances its data governance and platform capabilities.
