AI Data Engineer at Blackstone& London, England, £Contract Rate
Outside Spy England, United Kingdom
THE ROLE Blackstone& are a technical consultancy who specialise in digital transformation and complex technical deliveries. 15 years ago that meant Cloud adoption. 10 years ago it was DevOps. 5 years ago, SRE and platform engineering. We still cover all of that, but right now a significant part of our work is AI adoption. And we mean actual AI adoption: in production, in Enterprises. Not just a vibe coded app on a local machine. The pace and impact of each wave keeps accelerating, but we think successful adoption still comes down to two things: people and constraints. What does transformation actually look like inside the limits of an organisation, and how do we bring the people along for it? Most AI conversations start with the model. Ours start with the data. Agents are only as good as what they can see, and right now the biggest challenge in enterprise AI is not the model choice or the prompt design. It is getting the right data into the right shape so that AI...
