This is a strategic engineering leadership role responsible for shaping the infrastructure that powers enterprise AI, machine learning, and agentic solutions at scale. You will define technical strategy, system architecture, hardware roadmaps, and deployment models spanning cloud environments, high-performance AI infrastructure, and distributed edge fleets. The role combines hands-on architectural leadership with long-term planning around reliability, security, performance, and cost optimization. You will help build scalable model-serving and MLOps/LLMOps platforms that support real-world business operations and AI-enabled experiences. Working across infrastructure, security, IT, hardware, and AI teams, you will establish technical standards and guide multiple concurrent initiatives. This is an opportunity to influence the evolution of a large-scale AI ecosystem while mentoring engineers and driving adoption of emerging technologies.

Define the enterprise technical strategy, hardware roadmaps, and deployment architectures for distributed AI compute infrastructure, cloud platforms, and store-level edge environments.
Establish technical standards for infrastructure reliability, disaster recovery, hardware security, and compute cost governance across AI platforms and deployments.
Lead architectural investigations, capacity planning exercises, and system benchmarking for next-generation AI workloads, multimodal models, and low-latency edge inference.
Design scalable model-serving, MLOps, and LLMOps infrastructure that enables AI, machine learning, and agentic solutions to operate reliably across enterprise environments.
Partner with Enterprise IT, Security, cross-functional stakeholders, and hardware vendors to develop network topologies, edge hardware specifications, secure API gateways, and deployment architectures.
Evaluate cloud infrastructure providers, GPU vendors, and edge hardware manufacturers, supporting vendor selection and negotiating technical requirements and service-level agreements.
Drive infrastructure right-sizing, security improvements, performance optimization, and cost efficiency across AI compute environments.
Provide technical oversight and architectural review across infrastructure and AI engineering initiatives, ensuring consistency with enterprise standards and long-term strategy.
Establish scalable frameworks, engineering best practices, and technology standards for the development and operation of AI platforms.
Lead and mentor cross-functional engineering teams, set technical direction, and guide delivery across multiple concurrent strategic initiatives.
