Requirements

10+ years in platform, infrastructure, or systems engineering with direct ownership of production systems used by other engineers.
Hands-on experience building shared AI platforms, specifically with AWS Bedrock, AgentCore, and/or SageMaker, for multi-team use at scale.
Deep familiarity with agent and tool protocols including MCP and A2A, including their authentication and security models.
Working knowledge of enterprise identity and access control (Microsoft Entra ID, Okta) and how IAM patterns apply to AI systems and agent-to-agent communication.
Experience integrating with modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, etc.) and building grounding and retrieval patterns using tool-use and function calling.
Familiarity with enterprise AI administration platforms such as Claude for Enterprise and ChatGPT Enterprise, including governance, policy configuration, and cost management.
Pragmatic about AI safety; treat guardrails as an engineering discipline rather than a compliance checkbox.
A proven track record of driving cross-team technical adoption through credibility, clarity, and well-built defaults rather than relying on organizational authority.

Nice To Haves

Azure and/or Databricks experience is a meaningful plus, especially when in context of supporting analytics and research-heavy organizations.

Integrate with Data and Retrieval platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, etc.) and implement grounding and context patterns.
Manage configuration, governance, and operational aspects of enterprise AI systems, ensuring consistent policy, auditability, and cost visibility.
Oversee Enterprise AI Operations including cost attribution, rate limiting, audit telemetry, and operational monitoring.
Partner across the organization to drive agreement on interface contracts, especially around MCP and A2A protocols, identity, and data access.
Earn adoption from research, engineering, and product teams by providing a platform that is easier to use than existing solutions.
Work with security, legal, and risk partners to translate AI safety from policy into running code.
Drive consensus through written design docs, evaluation results, and decision records.
