  • Internal Developer Platform - Build the tooling and abstractions that let engineering teams across URBN's brands self-serve infrastructure, standardize deployments, and ship faster without sacrificing reliability.
  • Agentic AI Platform Infrastructure - Architect and operate the platform layer for URBN's enterprise AI initiatives including LLM orchestration, MCP server deployments, and agent execution runtimes with an eye toward security and cost efficiency.
  • AI Enablement for Engineering Teams - Partner with product and data teams to build infrastructure that makes AI capabilities accessible across the organization: RAG pipelines, vector search, embedding services, and API gateways for AI tools.
  • Observability & Incident Response - Own the observability stack across commerce and AI systems including distributed tracing, metrics, alerting, and on-call support so teams can detect and resolve issues quickly at any layer.
  • Security & Compliance Posture - Implement and maintain controls around access governance, secrets management, PII handling, and audit logging across both commerce-critical and AI workloads.
  • Cost & Capacity Management - Monitor and optimize cloud spend across ecommerce infrastructure, integration services, and AI inference using autoscaling, rightsizing, and intelligent traffic routing to maximize efficiency.
