AI Platform Technical Lead

AI Platform Technical Lead

We are seeking a hands-on AI Platform Technical Lead to serve as the technical owner for a general-purpose, AI-enabled enterprise collaboration ecosystem. This role will design, build, integrate, operate, and improve production AI agents, reusable skills, workflows, search capabilities, and enterprise AI platform integrations.

The ideal candidate combines deep applied AI engineering experience with practical enterprise platform and systems-administration knowledge. This is a hands-on individual contributor leadership role with no direct reports. You will lead through technical expertise and influence by establishing standards, mentoring other contributors, reviewing technical solutions, and serving as a senior escalation point.

Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain production-quality AI agents, skills, prompts, tools, workflows, assistants, and automations.

• Translate business requirements into technical designs, prototypes, and stable production-ready AI capabilities.
• Build secure integrations across collaboration, productivity, search, AI assistant, and enterprise systems.
• Develop APIs, data connectors, webhooks, search integrations, retrieval-augmented generation solutions, and semantic-search capabilities.
• Ensure AI systems preserve source-system permissions, access controls, data-security requirements, and governance policies.
• Design and evaluate grounding, citation, memory, retrieval, and context-management approaches for AI applications.
• Test and evaluate AI solutions for quality, reliability, safety, performance, grounding, and production readiness.
• Administer and optimize enterprise AI platforms, including access, configuration, integrations, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Troubleshoot complex AI platform, integration, connector, identity, search, and data-retrieval issues.
• Establish reusable technical standards and patterns for AI agents, integrations, configurations, testing, deployment, and security.
