- Experience building and operating AI-enabled or data-intensive systems in production
- Proven ability to lead engineers while remaining technically credible
- Experience owning architecture and delivery across multiple services
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making pragmatic technical and delivery decisions
Nice to have skills:
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Exposure to consulting or client-facing environments
- Background in platform, shared services, or accelerator-based engineering
Responsibilities:
Technical Leadership & Architecture:
- Own system-level architecture and technical decision-making across AI platforms and services
- Guide design and implementation of backend services, APIs, and AI integrations
- Ensure systems are scalable, secure, and production-ready
- Provide technical direction on GenAI workflows, agentic systems, and service orchestration
Engineering Management & Team Leadership:
- Manage and mentor senior engineers, technical leads, and service owners
- Set clear expectations around ownership, quality, and delivery
- Support team growth through coaching, feedback, and development planning
- Build a culture of strong engineering fundamentals, accountability, and collaboration
Delivery Ownership & Execution:
- Own delivery outcomes across multiple parallel workstreams
- Partner with product and delivery teams to plan, prioritize, and sequence work
