• Evaluate models, frameworks, platforms, and vendors, making decisions that balance scalability, reliability, quality, and cost.
• Partner with product and engineering leaders to ensure the platform supports current and future AI use cases.

Build Enterprise Knowledge & Context Systems

• Design and implement retrieval pipelines and vector-based knowledge systems that connect AI agents to enterprise data and content.
• Determine when prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, or model customization delivers the best business outcome.
• Enable product teams to build AI experiences grounded in accurate, relevant enterprise knowledge.

Establish AI Quality, Safety & Governance

• Create the frameworks used to evaluate AI performance, including offline and online evaluations, regression testing, red teaming, and release quality gates.
• Design safeguards such as least-privilege access, sandboxing, audit trails, approval workflows, and usage controls.
• Define measurable standards that allow teams to confidently deploy AI solutions into production environments.

Operate a Scalable Enterprise Platform

• Lead the operation of a multi-region cloud platform with accountability for availability, performance, disaster recovery, security, and cost management.
• Build observability capabilities including metrics, tracing, telemetry, alerting, and service-level objectives.
• Lead incident response practices, on-call operations, escalation processes, and continuous improvement through post-incident reviews.

Lead Engineering Excellence

• Mentor and develop engineers on the AI Platform team while establishing engineering standards and best practices.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and delivery teams to accelerate platform adoption and successful implementation.
• Serve as a trusted technical leader for complex architectural decisions and cross-functional trade-offs.

What You'll Need

• Experience in integrated marketing, digital agency, marketing services, or consulting environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years as a technical lead, architect, or similar leadership role supporting production systems.
• Experience building and operating 24x7, multi-region enterprise SaaS platforms on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, including infrastructure as code and disaster recovery planning.
• Strong production operations expertise, including observability, metrics, logging, distributed tracing, alerting, service-level objectives, incident response, and postmortem practices.
• Experience designing and operating production AI and LLM-based systems, including agent orchestration, multi-agent architectures, tool integrations, context engineering, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations.
• Expertise with AI platforms such as Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry, or similar enterprise AI ecosystems.
• Experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions and working with vector databases and knowledge retrieval systems.
• Deep understanding of AI evaluation, testing, governance, and safety practices, including evaluation datasets, LLM-as-judge frameworks, regression testing, and agent containment strategies.
• Hands-on experience incorporating AI-assisted development workflows into CI/CD pipelines, including validation, review, and approval processes.
• Experience integrating enterprise data platforms and designing secure multi-tenant SaaS environments with identity management, role-based access controls, and tenant isolation.
• Fluency in Python, TypeScript, SQL, and Git-based CI/CD practices.
• Proven ability to influence technical direction and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, security, and delivery teams.

Future-Ready Skills (Nice to Have)

• Experience building self-service or low-code platforms that enable governed AI agent creation and deployment.
• Familiarity with managed agent runtimes and agent frameworks from major cloud providers.
• Knowledge of security, governance, and AI risk frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, or ISO/IEC 42001.
• Experience working within agency, consulting, client delivery, or automotive-focused environments.
• Working knowledge of fine-tuning approaches, including supervised fine-tuning, LoRA/PEFT, and preference tuning.
• Experience with additional backend languages such as Java, Go, or C#.
• Experience using AI-enabled engineering workflows, automation, and platform engineering practices to improve development velocity and quality.
