What you get

Why Join Enterprise AI?

Enterprise AI is building the technical platform that enables enterprises to deploy advanced AI systems in production.

As Head of Platform Engineering, you will lead the technical platform team and help scale the organization as it moves from early platform development toward enterprise adoption. You will work closely with architecture and delivery leaders to establish the technical foundations, operating model, and product capabilities required to support demanding enterprise customers.

This is a high-ownership role for a technical leader who can build production-grade infrastructure, hire and develop a strong team, and help turn an internal platform into a reliable enterprise product.

As the Head of Platform Engineering, You Will

Build and Scale the Platform

Set the technical direction for a model-agnostic, multi-tenant enterprise AI platform and establish the architecture, reliability, and operating foundations required for scale.

Lead Platform Engineering

Build and lead a high-caliber platform organization. Hire quickly at a high bar, develop the team, and create clear ownership across platform engineering, architecture, evaluation, and delivery.

Enable Enterprise Deployment

Develop platform capabilities that support secure, observable, and reliable AI deployments across enterprise environments, including customer-controlled infrastructure where required.

Partner Across Architecture and Delivery

Work closely with architecture and delivery leaders to translate customer needs into platform priorities, establish clear technical seams, and ensure the platform supports real-world enterprise deployments.

Drive Productization

Help evolve the platform from an internal capability into a reliable, externally deployable enterprise product. Establish clear standards for performance, security, observability, evaluation, and operational readiness.

Demonstrate Customer Value

Partner with delivery teams to support client use cases and ensure that platform deployments are evaluated against measurable business and technical outcomes.

The Anti-Sell

Hands-on technical leadership: This is not a role for someone who has been on a pure management track for five or more years. You must have personally written production code within the last two years.

Enterprise-grade complexity: The platform must support multi-tenant enterprise software, secure deployments, customer-controlled environments, and demanding enterprise requirements.

High hiring and execution bar: You will be expected to hire quickly, maintain a high bar, and lead a growing platform organization while delivering against an ambitious product roadmap.

Security and regulatory accountability: The role requires deep experience with enterprise security, identity, and hosting, including experience working with regulated customers.

Breadth of experience: Candidates with a solely consumer or solely services background may not be a fit for this role.

Our Enterprise AI Platform Leaders Typically Have

Deep platform engineering experience: Typically 15+ years in software engineering, including at least five years leading platform or infrastructure teams that have shipped multi-tenant enterprise software.

Multi-tenant and self-hosted architecture expertise: Proven experience designing and operating platforms for enterprise customers, including self-hosted or customer-controlled deployments.

Hands-on LLM systems expertise: Direct experience with LLM orchestration, evaluation, serving, and fine-tuning, as well as the ability to contribute production code.

Productization experience: A track record of taking a platform from an internal tool to an externally licensed or deployable product.

Enterprise security and team leadership: Deep knowledge of enterprise security, identity, and hosting with regulated customers. You should also have a proven record of hiring quickly at a high bar and leading platform or infrastructure teams.

Also

Top-Tier Candidates Will Have

• Experience building or scaling a platform inside a services or forward-deployed organization.
• Experience in financial services or another highly regulated industry.
• Experience supporting enterprise AI deployments across complex customer environments.

Also

Values
