Position Summary As a Sr. Staff AI Platform Engineer , you are first and foremost a Systems Architect . Your mission is to design and build the high-performance software foundation that powers the enterprise. While your core expertise lies in distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and platform engineering, you will apply these skills specifically to the "Context Layer"—the specialized infrastructure required to fuel next-generation Agentic AI workflows . You will operate at the intersection of Systems Programming and Modern AI Infrastructure , solving "hard-tech" problems like real-time data orchestration, automated metadata evolution, and multi-cloud compute optimization. This is a "platform-as-a-product" role; you build the tools, SDKs, and engines that enable hundreds of other engineers to build autonomous agents with ease. Key Responsibilities: AI Platform Strategy & Context Retrieval: Define and own the 3–5 year technical roadmap for our high-scale, AI-ready Data Lakehouse. This platform must be explicitly optimized for AI Agent operations and efficient context retrieval, delivering low-latency, high-throughput data access essential for vector databases and LLM-driven...
