What You Will Work On In this role, you design, implement, operate, and continuously improve the enterprise platforms and integration capabilities that support AI agents and generative AI solutions. Your work helps teams move approved AI solutions from prototype to reliable production use across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Google, and other approved enterprise AI technologies.

You provide technical leadership for platform services that are secure, scalable, observable, cost-managed, governed, and supportable across development, test, and production environments. Working across the platform lifecycle, you establish standards for source control, release management, deployment pipelines, environment separation, production readiness, and operational support.

You implement governance controls for inventories, ownership, risk tiering, identity, access, data protection, runtime protection, audit logging, and periodic recertification, while also managing model access, quotas, capacity, private networking, endpoints, and onboarding controls.

Your work also includes building telemetry and consumption controls, enabling secure integrations with enterprise systems, embedding automated evaluation and compliance checks, documenting reusable patterns, leading technical initiatives, mentoring engineers, and evaluating emerging capabilities that can improve security, reliability, scalability, efficiency, and adoption.

Who You Will Work With You will partner across AI engineering, Cybersecurity, Identity, Enterprise Architecture, Data, Legal, Finance, and business teams to ensure AI platforms and integrations are secure, governed, supportable, and cost effective.

You will also work directly with engineers, platform users, solution owners, business power users, and approved citizen developers, providing standards, documentation, enablement materials, technical guidance, and mentorship that support safe and consistent adoption. What You Bring Bring your energy, your ideas, and your love for sports and the outdoors.
