About the Role
We 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.
Responsibilities
Build and lead a high-performing, multi-team engineering organization spanning Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud, and ML
Hire, develop, and retain senior and principal engineers, establishing leveling, career paths, and clear expectations
Coach engineering managers and technical leads to scale leadership, ownership, and accountability, fostering a culture of quality, operational rigor, and continuous improvement
Own delivery outcomes for the platform roadmap, including predictability, quality, and velocity across quarterly commitments
Establish and evolve development and release processes that scale with the organization and the customer portfolio
Drive clarity on ownership, cross-team dependencies, and delivery commitments to leadership and customers, ensuring teams execute independently while aligning to shared platform standards
Partner with Architecture to ensure implementation aligns with the platform reference architecture and long-term platform direction
Own execution of the platform strategy, including the clean separation of FSAI-owned components from customer-owned infrastructure, and support the modularity decisions that come with serving heterogeneous customer environments
Set and uphold standards for code quality, testing, observability, and operational readiness in production
Treat security red lines and tenant isolation as non-negotiable delivery constraints, partnering with Architecture, Security, and Legal so engineering workflows meet enterprise and regulatory expectations
Lead incident response from an execution and learning perspective, driving durable fixes and policy improvements, and ensure auditability and governance controls are first-class properties of what the organization ships
Work with Product, Architecture, and the SA function to convert customer signal into prioritized, deliverable engineering work
Support active enterprise accounts through deployment, escalation, and governance decisions without compromising platform integrity
Communicate tradeoffs honestly to the leadership team as decisions they own
