Job description

Sr Director - AI Platform Engineering - D&A (Finance)

We are seeking a visionary AI Engineering Lead to serve as the primary architect and technical owner of our next-generation Agentic AI Platform. In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of an enterprise-grade "Agent Harness & Orchestrator" - a scalable fabric designed to replace rigid, linear pipelines with autonomous, specialized AI agents capable of executing complex, multi-step engineering and analytical workflows.

This is an elite technical leadership position. You will move beyond simple LLM wrapping to build a production-ready multi-agent ecosystem. Your team will design Agentic platform to support the construction of agents with dedicated "Skills" (tool-calling, deterministic execution, data synthesis) and "Knowledge" (RAG, domain-specific memory, state management). You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and robust systems engineering, creating a platform that allows autonomous agents to collaborate, self-correct, and deploy workflows reliably at scale within a highly secure and regulated enterprise environment.

We believe great things happen when teams connect. Our schedule is built around 4 days of high-impact, in-office collaboration (Monday-Thursday), paired with Friday Flexibility to wrap up your week remotely.

This role reports to our office Alpharetta, GA office.

• Leads multiple programs of solutions that generate significant Equifax revenue, collaborating with other stakeholders to support the development of predictive models, risk assessments, fraud detection, recommendation engines, etc. influencing decisions on the solution and enabling teams to execute.
• Contributes to evaluation of external data sources, provide due diligence recommendations
• Evaluates the technical work of highly experienced data scientists guiding them on deliverable quality and accuracy
• Communicates results to c-level management and external stakeholders, able to communicate the industry impact of the work
