About The Position

The Sr. Platform Owner, Halo, Global is the technical and strategic owner of Vantage’s Halo AI platform, responsible for ensuring the platform’s health, scalability, security, and continuous evolution as the backbone for custom AI solutions and intelligent applications across the enterprise. While Copilot serves Microsoft 365 productivity workflows, Halo is Vantage’s purpose-built platform for deploying custom AI applications, agentic workflows, and intelligent automation solutions that address industry-specific challenges. This role combines deep technical expertise in cloud AI infrastructure, application platforms, and enterprise architecture with product ownership discipline, managing the platform lifecycle from architecture design through production operations. Success requires balancing platform robustness with development velocity, ensuring the Accelerators team has a reliable foundation for rapid prototyping while custom solutions meet enterprise production standards for security, performance, and scalability.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field required; Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, AI-102) or equivalent cloud platform certifications strongly preferred.
Experience leading or managing AI programs, platforms, or technology initiatives in enterprise environments.
Extensive experience building, operating, and scaling cloud-based application platforms, with demonstrated expertise in Azure services including App Services, Functions, Container Apps, AI Services, and infrastructure management.
Deep technical knowledge of AI/ML deployment infrastructure, including model hosting, inference optimization, vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, and agentic framework deployment.
Strong software engineering background with proficiency in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript, as well as modern development practices including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containerization, and API design. Demonstrated enthusiasm for leveraging AI-powered development tools to accelerate agentic solution development.
Experience with enterprise security architecture, including identity and access management (Azure AD/Entra ID), network security, data encryption, and compliance controls for cloud-native applications.
Practical knowledge of AI frameworks and technologies including LangChain, Semantic Kernel, Azure OpenAI, and conversational AI platforms, with an understanding of their integration within enterprise platform architectures.
Demonstrated success managing complex platform lifecycles, including capacity planning, release management, incident response, and technical debt reduction within production environments.
Strong architectural and strategic thinking skills, with experience evaluating technology trade-offs, making build-versus-buy decisions, and designing scalable platforms that balance current business needs with future flexibility.
Experience optimizing developer experience (DevEx) through documentation, tooling, templates, automation, and support processes that improve engineering productivity and solution delivery velocity.
Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across infrastructure, application, and AI model layers in distributed cloud environments.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to articulate platform architecture, technical constraints, and strategic recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Self-directed and proactive, with a demonstrated ability to identify, prioritize, and address emerging technical challenges before they impact users or platform performance.
