They are seeking an AI Platform Engineer to help define, build and scale the infrastructure that enables AI to be consumed securely and efficiently across the business.
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly technical, engineering-led environment where you'll work alongside some of the industry's brightest minds on genuinely cutting-edge problems.
- What You'll Get
- Work with frontier and open-source models, including the latest LLM technologies.
- Build enterprise AI capabilities from the ground up in a greenfield environment.
- Design and deliver platforms that will be leveraged by hundreds of engineers and business users globally.
- Significant ownership across architecture, engineering and deployment.
- Collaborate with a world-class team of Software Engineers, Platform Engineers and AI specialists.
- Exposure to large-scale distributed systems, cloud technologies and modern MLOps practices.
- Competitive compensation, discretionary bonus and an exceptional benefits package.
- A culture that encourages innovation, experimentation and continuous learning.
What You'll Do
- Design, build and operate scalable Python services and APIs that power AI-enabled applications.
- Deploy, fine-tune and manage commercial and open-source LLMs across production environments.
- Build cloud-native infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes and modern platform engineering principles.
- Develop tooling to support model orchestration, observability, evaluation and governance.
- Partner closely with engineering and business stakeholders to deliver practical AI solutions with measurable impact.
- Contribute to the firm's broader AI strategy, engineering standards and best practices.
- Help shape the evolution of an enterprise AI platform supporting current and future use cases, including AI agents and autonomous workflows.
