Overview

Applied AI Platform Engineer II

Responsibilities

• Embrace and drive a culture of accountability for engineering-leverage and adoption outcomes. Build platform capabilities that solve recurring problems once, well, for many teams—reducing per-team build and operate toil while ensuring consistency and compliance by default through high-quality, lean designs and implementations.
• Serve as the technical advocate for the platform as a product, ensuring capability integrity, feasibility, and alignment with the needs of the engineering teams who consume it. Lead requirement discovery with consuming teams, component design of platform services, frameworks, and the AI control plane, and their development, testing, integration, and support.
• Develop lean platform capabilities through rapid, inexpensive experimentation to solve the real needs of consuming engineering teams. Engage with those teams before, during, and after delivery to ensure the right capability is delivered at the right time—and adopted, not shelved.
• Adopt a mindset that favors action and evidence over extensive planning. Utilize a leaning-forward approach to navigate complexity and uncertainty, delivering platform capabilities as lean, adoption-validated increments rather than big-bang builds, and keeping them supportable and maintainable.
• Quickly acquire domain knowledge of the enterprise data estate and the AI use-case patterns the platform must serve. Translate the needs of engineering teams, reference architectures, and governance requirements into reusable frameworks, the data platform, and governance-as-code enforcement. Be a valuable, flexible, and dedicated team member, supportive of teammates, and focused on quality and tech debt payoff.
• Exhibit exceptional communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts clearly and compellingly. Inspire and influence teammates and product teams through well-structured arguments and trade-offs supported by evidence. Create coherent narratives that align technical solutions with business objectives.
• Engage and collaborate with product engineering teams at all organizational levels, including customers as needed. Build and maintain constructive relationships, fostering a culture of co-creation and shared momentum towards achieving product goals. Align diverse perspectives and drive consensus to create feasible solutions.
• Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, with the ability to handle diverse situations, complex projects, and changing priorities, behaving with passion, empathy, and care.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, data science, machine learning, or related discipline. Experience is the most relevant factor.
• 5+ years of software and platform engineering experience with most of the following: Angular, React, NodeJS, Python(Mandatory), , C#, .NET, Java, Rust, SQL/NoSQL, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, LangFuse, Terraform, as well as unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks & tools, specifically BDD, Gherkin, Cucumber, Playwright, and Selenium.
• 3+ years of experience designing, building, and operating AI/ML platform or infrastructure, with hands-on experience across building tooling for MLOps/LLMOps, model serving, retrieval and vector infrastructure, and eval/observability instrumentation for LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models).
• 3+ years of experience with cloud-native engineering on any of the cloud hyperscalers such as Azure, AWS, or GCP—including their AI/ML services such as Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Vertex AI—as well as container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), Big Data, Databricks, CI/CD at platform scale, and distributed systems.
• Prior experience with AI control-plane and agent-runtime patterns: model/LLM gateway, A2A and MCP integration, agent runtimes (e.g., Google ADK, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore), guardrails (PII redaction, prompt-injection, content, tool permissioning/tool-RBAC), policy-as-code, and multi-tenant isolation.
• Prior experience with enterprise data platform engineering: data pipelines, self-service and data-product enablement, governance-as-code enforcement, and metadata/lineage.
• Prior software engineering experience with the understanding of Business Context Diagrams (BCD), sequence/activity/state/entity relationship/data flow diagrams, OOP/OOD, data structures, algorithms, and code instrumentations, and AI-augmented spec-driven development.
• Prior experience using methodologies & tools such as XP, Lean, DevSecOps, SRE, ADO, GitHub, SonarQube, and ArgoCD to deliver high-quality platforms and products rapidly.
• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline. An advanced degree (e.g., MS) is preferred but not required. Experience is the most relevant factor.
• Strong data engineering foundation with deep understanding of data-structure, algorithms, code instrumentations, etc.
• SQL query creation logic/ TSQL language, Databricks and Synapse platform knowhow, Python language, Scala language, CICD process
• 5+ years of experience with cloud-native engineering, using SaaS/PaaS on cloud hyper-scalers like Azure, AWS, and GCP.
• Strong preference will be given to candidates with experience in AI/ML and GenAI.
• Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, with the ability to handle diverse situations, complex projects, and changing priorities, behaving with passion, empathy, and care.
• Ability to travel 10%, on average, based on the work you do and products you build.
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available.
