As a Senior Software Engineer for AI Platform Engineering, you will bridge the gap between high-scale systems architecture and frontier AI. You will be one of architects and builders of our Model & Agent Runtimes—the specialized engines that govern how models and autonomous agents execute across our hybrid-cloud footprint.

This isn't just about deployment; it’s about a platform-first mindset. You will ensure that AI capabilities are scalable, secure, and governed through world-class Agent Ops, LLMOps, and MLOps practices. What You’ll Do Architect the Future of Runtimes:
Design and implement high-performance hosting environments for both specialized models and autonomous agents.

Scale Hybrid-Cloud

Infrastructure: Build multi-tenant platform capabilities that support seamless agent and model execution across diverse cloud and on-prem environments.

Drive Operational Excellence:
Implement robust solutions for real-time monitoring, distributed tracing, and automated evaluation of agents & models in production.

Operational Stewardship:
Act as a member of our rotational platform operational team, ensuring the reliability and uptime of critical AI services.

Collaborate & Advocate:
Partner with cross-functional AI teams to identify system friction, streamlining their workflows and accelerating the delivery of AI-driven value.

What You’ll Bring Deep Systems Expertise:
Proven experience building scalable back-end systems, ideally with a focus on containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes).AI/ML Fluency:
Strong understanding of the lifecycle of LLMs and autonomous agents, including inference optimization and RAG architectures.

Operational Rigor: A track record of implementing observability (logging, metrics, tracing) in complex, distributed environments.

Problem-Solving Mindset:
The ability to turn abstract AI research into production-grade, hardened platform features.

Why this team? We are moving beyond simple model serving. We are building the foundational "nervous system" for autonomous agents in a high-stakes environment where performance and governance are non-negotiable.
