Sr Director - AI Platform Engineering - D&A

Equifax • Alpharetta, GA

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

Equifax is seeking a visionary AI Engineering Lead to serve as the primary architect and technical owner of their next-generation Agentic AI Platform. This role involves leading the design and implementation of an enterprise-grade "Agent Harness & Orchestrator," a scalable fabric intended to replace rigid, linear pipelines with autonomous, specialized AI agents. These agents will be capable of executing complex, multi-step engineering and analytical workflows. The position requires moving beyond simple LLM wrapping to build a production-ready multi-agent ecosystem. The team will design an Agentic platform to support the construction of agents with dedicated "Skills" (tool-calling, deterministic execution, data synthesis) and "Knowledge" (RAG, domain-specific memory, state management). The goal is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and robust systems engineering, creating a platform that allows autonomous agents to collaborate, self-correct, and deploy workflows reliably at scale within a highly secure and regulated enterprise environment. The work schedule is built around 4 days of high-impact, in-office collaboration (Monday–Thursday), paired with Friday Flexibility for remote work. This role reports to the Alpharetta, GA office. This is a direct-hire role and is not open to C2C or vendors. This position does not offer immigration sponsorship (current or future) including F-1 STEM OPT extension support.
