Join the Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) organization as an experienced engineering leader to build and lead the next generation of Netflix’s AI observability platform, enabling ML practitioners across diverse domains to collect model inputs, features, and predictions for thousands of large-scale models. You will collaborate with ML researchers, engineers, and platform teams to embed “observability-by-default” into new AI services, driving end-to-end observability strategies for LLMs, generative AI systems, and classical ML models. With a strong background in AI infrastructure and experience leading high-traffic distributed system builds, you will define and execute a platform roadmap focused on incremental delivery, ensuring clear success metrics and adoption across teams. This role requires deep familiarity with AI operations, including model evaluation and continuous monitoring at scale, as well as exposure to LLMs and generative AI systems. Strong technical acumen, communication skills, and the ability to mentor a high-performing engineering team are essential for this highly collaborative environment.
