You will sit at the intersection of platform engineering, MLOps, and agentic AI, shaping the runtime, tooling, and developer experience that accelerates AI adoption across every business domain. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on solving hard infrastructure problems and setting the technical direction for a rapidly evolving space.
Main Activities:
• Define enterprise AI platform architecture and roadmap. • Design, build and operate AI-native CI/CD platforms. • Implement secure-by-design AI controls and governance. • Define reliability, observability, resilience and FinOps practices. • Lead architecture reviews and developer enablement programs. • Provide technical leadership across engineering teams.
Knowledge/Skill Requirements:
• 7+ years of software, platform, or cloud engineering experience, with 3+ years in AI/ML platforms or agentic AI systems. • Deep hands-on expertise with Azure (AKS, networking, private endpoints, identity, Key Vault) and Azure AI Foundry or equivalent AI platforms. • Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines for ML/LLM workloads (model, prompt, and agent lifecycle management). • Strong background in distributed systems, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and API/SDK design. • Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., Semantic Kernel, LangChain, AutoGen) and orchestration patterns (memory, tools, planning).
• Solid understanding of LLM inference optimization, model routing, evaluation, and observability. • Track record of establishing platform standards, paved paths, and developer enablement at scale. • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across engineering, security, risk, and business stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
• Prior experience in regulated industries (financial services, banking, insurance). • Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform, Copilot, and Copilot Studio integrations. • Experience with FinOps for AI workloads including cost attribution, token accounting, and model economics. • Background in Responsible AI, model governance, and evaluation frameworks. • Contributions to open-source AI/agent platform projects.
