About the RoleWe are hiring a VP of Platform Engineering to own execution across the FSAI engineering organization, leading Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud, and Data Platforms. This leader is accountable for the delivery, reliability, and operational integrity of our enterprise AI Co-Worker platform serving regulated large enterprises and regulated industries. The VP scales the organization and its delivery discipline while keeping engineering execution aligned to platform architecture, security red lines, and enterprise customer commitments, balancing velocity with the production guarantees that regulated buyers require.
This role owns predictable, on-time delivery against customer and roadmap timelines, builds the management layer so Principal Engineers stop being the bottleneck, and drives operational rigor across SLOs, incidents, and quality without suffocating velocity. You'll find and clear bottlenecks, run capacity planning, own people management and eng budget, and own the delivery relationship with customers through operational reviews.
