About The Role
As our AI Operations Lead, you will drive the execution of our internal AI strategy and fundamentally transform the way software is built across our organization. You will work primarily with the DevOps team and the wider tech department, collaborating closely with internal stakeholders. Your role is to operate and evolve our central AI infrastructure across all tech squads and serve as an architectural sparring partner to the VP of Engineering. As an Individual Contributor, you will help build a self‑governing AI system with clear guardrails, automated quality and security gates, and domain‑level transparency.
What You'll Do
- Operate and scale our central agentic coding pipeline and platform tools, focusing on system throughput and code quality.
- Partner with tech squads to translate engineering requirements into common foundations and our central registry, driving integration and automated documentation.
- Implement and maintain platform‑level data governance, including automated PII masking, role‑based keys via Hasura, and secure environment routing.
- Continuously analyze the software development lifecycle to build and optimize automated quality gates, implementer/reviewer loops, and agent harnesses.
- Build and leverage dashboards to track domain‑specific metrics such as AI‑committed code ratios, bug frequencies, cycle times, and domain token costs.
- Roll out a modern, AI‑native platform operating model and guardrails, enabling engineering teams and non‑technical stakeholders to move prototype automations into production safely.
- Integrate automated compliance scans (SAST/SCA) directly into the pipeline, provide technical groundwork for annual audits, and investigate system vulnerabilities.
- Serve as a reliable engineering sparring partner to leadership and investigate complex, cross‑system bugs across our microservice landscape (Go, TypeScript, PHP) when required.
What You’ll Need
- Deep, hands‑on experience with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Gemini CLI, Junie, GitHub Copilot) and with vibe coding, automating SDLC steps end‑to‑end.
- Built at least one MCP server yourself and understand REST/GraphQL endpoints and their design.
- Hands‑on systems architecture across a microservice landscape, able to trace a bug across unfamiliar services.
- Solid proficiency in Go and TypeScript/React; able to read and debug PHP.
- Concept‑level cloud experience with at least one major provider (IAM, networking, managed services, provisioning) and a solid grasp of relational databases.
- Security fundamentals: comfortable with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerability classes; able to discuss security in audits and RFPs (GDPR/PII, ISO 27001 at concept level).
- A strong communicator who brings squad leads and vibe coders along through clarity and credibility; pragmatic, fast, and low on unnecessary discussion.
- Live with an outcome‑focused mindset, following state‑of‑the‑art AI advancements to judge what is worth applying.
- 5+ years of relevant experience overall, including 1–2 years at a staff/principal level.
