• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics (or equivalent experience)
• Strong academic foundation in core computer science areas, especially operating systems, distributed systems, and compilers
• 15+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience building cloud-native infrastructure
• 10+ years of experience leading high-performing engineering teams in global or matrixed organizations
• Hands-on experience in building, deploying, or integrating machine learning systems at scale
• Deep knowledge of distributed systems, networking, data structures, OS, and cloud architecture
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills
• Demonstrated experience driving complex cross-functional engineering initiatives

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• 10–15 years of experience building or managing AI/ML systems, with recent focus on LLM infrastructure or agent-based AI architectures
• Proven track record in designing and operationalizing Agentic AI platforms, including dynamic memory systems, multi-agent coordination, and tool integrations
• Experience launching new AI-driven products or services from inception to scale in enterprise environments
• Practical familiarity with modern agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalents
• Passion for solving complex technical challenges and fostering innovation in fast-moving environments
• Strong executive presence and ability to align engineering direction with business outcomes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Own and deliver high-scale, multi-tenant, distributed AI services supporting LLM inference and agentic workflows
• Design and lead the development of Agentic AI systems, including orchestration frameworks, memory layers, and tool-augmented agents
• Drive architectural decisions and strategy for building intelligent, autonomous software infrastructure
• Lead and scale high-performing engineering teams, including senior managers and technical leads
• Build cross-functional partnerships with product, research, and platform engineering to deliver innovation at scale
• Develop and maintain product, infrastructure, and AI capability roadmaps aligned with strategic goals
• Oversee large, complex programs with clear execution frameworks and measurable milestones
