- Leads system and platform architecture for components supporting end-to-end ML workflows, including data transformation patterns, feature management integration, orchestration enablement, and model serving integration.
- Designs and develops agentic AI capabilities that analyze workloads and generate optimization recommendations, including evaluation approaches, monitoring, and feedback loops required for production readiness.
- Builds and maintains reusable APIs/SDKs and reference implementations that enable consistent platform adoption and reduce duplicated effort across teams.
- Partners with data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to clarify requirements, define technical approaches, manage dependencies, and deliver measurable outcomes.
- Ensures platform reliability, scalability, performance, and cost efficiency through SLOs, proactive monitoring, incident response participation, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
- Automates infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and CI/CD pipelines for platform services using Infrastructure as Code, promoting safe and repeatable deployments across environments.
- Drives adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes, establishing consistent validation standards (correctness, performance, security) and promoting reuse of effective patterns.
- Produces architecture and design artifacts for platform components, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and best practices.
- Mentors engineers through technical coaching, design reviews, and pairing, contributing to a strong culture of engineering excellence.
- Contributes to software engineering communities of practice and events that explore new and emerging technologies.
Required qualifications

- Demonstrated experience with enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) and experience establishing practical team norms for validation and quality (correctness, performance, security) in day-to-day engineering workflows.
- Experience delivering platforms involving Generative AI, including LLM orchestration patterns and agentic AI frameworks, with production-grade evaluation and monitoring practices.
- Practical experience with AWS, containerized platforms (e.g., EKS/ECS), and Terraform (or equivalent IaC).
- Databricks experience is required, including building and operating data/ML workloads on Databricks (e.g., pipelines, notebooks/jobs, Delta/feature datasets, orchestration/integration with ML workflows).
- Comprehensive knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle, agile delivery, CI/CD, and modern engineering quality controls.
- Strong communication skills with business-facing partners and technical stakeholders; ability to translate strategy into execution and measurable outcomes.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building ML platforms integrating data engineering, feature management, and model serving into cohesive developer-friendly workflows.
- Knowledge of AI/ML model integration, context engineering, and MCP-style patterns for tool/function integration.
- Exposure to Snowflake.
- Familiarity with observability/metrics tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Dynatrace, Datadog).
- AWS certifications.
