About the Role
You will own the platform that Claims, Payments, and Health run on, acting as its first and most senior engineer-leader. This involves managing the agentic AI floor, including the model gateway, agent runtime, evaluation infrastructure, and guardrails, as well as shared product services like case management, work queues, integration connectors, multi-tenancy, and metering. Your work directly supports the automation of claims handling and payment processing.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategic vision, roadmap, and end-to-end lifecycle of the platform, from model gateway and agent runtime to shared workflow, tenancy, and metering services.
- Develop and maintain a competitive engineering strategy at the AI frontier, tracking research and model releases to guide platform adoption and development.
- Manage closed improvement loops, ensuring production signals and evaluation verdicts feed into reinforcement learning and fine-tuning pipelines for LLMs and SLMs.
- Make build-vs-buy decisions for AI infrastructure, defining the boundary between platform-provided services and product line development.
- Implement a disciplined operating model with a published capacity split for product team requests, platform quality, and strategic initiatives.
- Ensure platform adoption outcomes are measured by consumer delivery metrics.
- Maintain the platform's compliance posture in regulated environments, including model risk documentation, audit trails, and responsible AI practices.
- Hire and grow the platform group, setting engineering standards for the organization.
Requirements
- Track record leading platform or infrastructure teams with production systems serving multiple product teams, accountable for adoption.
- Hands-on credibility in modern AI infrastructure: LLM inference and serving, model gateways, vector search, guardrails, and evaluation systems.
- Fluency in frontier research, including post-training, reinforcement learning, and agentic systems, with the ability to translate research into engineering strategy.
- Deep cloud platform knowledge (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with production-scale Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code.
- Experience delivering in a regulated industry (ideally financial services) or demonstrable fluency in model risk and security review requirements.
- A platform-as-product mindset, comfortable discussing golden paths, voluntary adoption, and developer research.
- Daily, hands-on use of AI coding assistants.
