Visium combines strategy, frontier AI, and deep regulated-industry expertise to build and deploy AI-native systems that reinvent how businesses operate - unlocking the value of AI at scale.
We’re not a strategy firm that ships slide decks and walks away. Not a tech consultancy that builds what won’t get adopted. Not a product company chasing problems it doesn’t understand. We’re all three at once: strategy, deep technical and integration expertise, and product, working as one. That combination is our flywheel. Consulting keeps us close to the hardest real-world problems. Products let us solve them at scale. Every engagement sharpens our products; every deployment makes the next engagement faster, deeper, and more certain.
We’re obsessed with outcomes. While 95% of enterprise AI pilots never reach production, Visium is built to be the 5% delivering productised AI that compounds in value, not point solutions that deliver marginal gains. We are AI-native, not AI-adjacent. We don’t bolt AI onto broken workflows; we redesign them with AI at the core.
Role
As a Platform & Data Engineering Director, you will lead the design, build, and evolution of Visium’s client-facing AI and Data platform capabilities. You are the technical authority and delivery lead for our most complex data & platform programs, the person who ensures that what we build is not only technically excellent but also adoptable, scalable, and genuinely transformative.
You will directly manage forward-deployed platform engineering teams, drive data & platform strategy across engagements, and act as a trusted technical advisor to senior client stakeholders. You bring hands-on depth in the modern data and AI platform stack, from infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD to cloud architecture and building data products, combined with the leadership presence and commercial instinct to grow accounts and inspire teams.
