V2 is an AI-native consultancy of 100+ people helping enterprises move from AI ambition to production.
We hold Anthropic Select partner status alongside AWS and Databricks partnerships, and we build with Claude at the core of everything we deliver: agentic AI, Claude Code, AI-native software delivery (AI-DLC) and enterprise platform modernisation.
We are scaling across ANZ and APJ.The RoleThe Head of Engineering - Applied AI owns V2's engineering capability end to end.
The technical standards our squads run on, the platform and accelerators they build with, and the development pathways for our forward deployed engineering team.This is not a delivery-management role.
Squads own their engagements; you own what makes every squad faster, safer, and more consistent than the last one.
You set the AI-native development lifecycle (AI-DLC) and agentic engineering standards every squad follows, build the reusable asset base that turns one-off wins into repeatable delivery, and grow the engineering organisation ahead of demand.What You'll BringAI Engineering standards.
Every squad runs on a common AI-native development lifecycle and agentic engineering standard, how we design, build, evaluate, govern, and ship AI systemsPlatform and accelerators.
The reusable asset base: accelerators, reference architectures, and shared tooling that any squad can pick up and deploy, so each engagement starts from production-grade patterns rather than a blank pageCapability and certification.
