Principal AI Platform & Data Systems Leader

Sr. Business Systems Manager (Data and Automation)

At Arbor Energy & Resources Corporation ("Arbor Energy"), we’re creating technology to power our lives while protecting the planet that sustains them. Our advanced power systems deliver clean, reliable baseload electricity with zero operating emissions—modular, fuel‑flexible, and engineered for the realities of today’s energy demand. At the core is a supercritical CO₂ turbine with integrated carbon capture, designed to bring carbon‑neutral power online quickly at meaningful scale.

Our team includes aerospace engineers, combustion experts, and systems thinkers with a shared goal: to build technology worthy of the world we want to live in. While many of us began our journeys looking to the stars, we’re applying that expertise here at home to deliver dependable, emission‑free baseload power and a future of lasting abundance.

If you share our values and are drawn to rigorous work with lasting impact, we’d love to learn more about you. Come build what the future will run on.

We're seeking a Principal-level leader to own the design, deployment, and evolution of our company's intelligence layer—the systems, workflows, and AI-native applications that connect engineering, manufacturing, and business functions. You'll define how information flows across the organization, deploy AI tools safely and effectively, and translate operational pain points into engineered solutions.

This is a high‑impact strategic role that requires both architectural vision and hands‑on execution. You'll manage our Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer, partner cross‑functionally with engineering and operations teams, and have the autonomy to hire software engineers as needed to build custom AI-native applications. The ideal candidate is an engineer‑turned‑product leader who understands how to build scalable systems while staying obsessively focused on solving real user problems.

• Define and implement the company's information architecture—how data, knowledge, and documentation flow across engineering, manufacturing, and business teams
• Design the platforms, integrations, and workflows that serve as the "central nervous system" connecting cross-functional operations
• Establish governance frameworks, documentation standards, and data safety protocols that ensure scalability without sacrificing speed
• Partner with IT leadership to ensure infrastructure, security, and access controls support the information architecture vision

• Own the strategy and execution for deploying AI tools (Claude Enterprise, custom agents, automation workflows) across the organization
• Design and enforce containment layers, access permissions, and network isolation strategies for AI systems
• Identify high-impact use cases for AI automation, prioritize based on pain points, and drive cross-functional adoption
• Ensure AI deployments meet security, compliance, and data governance requirements

• Act as the voice of the user—deeply understand pain points across engineering, manufacturing, and business operations teams
• Translate operational challenges into technical solutions, either through platform configuration or by directing software engineers to build custom applications
• Lead cross‑functional projects that require coordination across IT, software, systems, and business teams
• Balance speed and rigor—design systems that enable fast iteration while maintaining proper documentation, structure, and maintainability
• Build business cases, define success metrics, and track the impact of information systems and AI initiatives

• Manage and mentor the Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer,…
