TL;DR · Senior Engineering Manager, Agent Platform, AI Platform

The Senior Engineering Manager - Agent Platform, AI Platform leads a high-leverage team within the AI Platform group to build the foundational infrastructure for agentic systems. This role involves setting the technical strategy and roadmap for the agent-specific layer, including runtimes, execution environments, memory, identity, permissioning, discovery, registry, evaluation, and tool interfaces. You will hire and develop engineers to turn hard problems into primitives, such as capturing reasoning-and-tool-call trajectories as replayable data and creating feedback loops for improved behavior. The position requires deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud, and ML/AI infrastructure. You will navigate the technical challenges of building a paved path for developers, making critical build-versus-partner decisions while managing the complexities of agentic concerns like guardrails, safety, and cost governance for LLM workloads.
