Role Overview

We are looking for a Lead – Platform Engineering to drive the architecture, development, and scaling of our next-generation AI-powered platforms. This role sits at the intersection of full-stack engineering, AI/ML systems, and scalable platform design, and will be instrumental in building robust, production-grade systems powering autonomous and industrial AI applications.

You will lead a team of engineers, define technical direction, and ensure high-quality delivery of scalable, secure, and high-performance platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Architecture & Development

• Design and build end-to-end platform architecture (frontend, backend, APIs, and data layers)
• Develop scalable and modular microservices-based systems
• Drive cloud-native platform development (AWS/Azure/GCP)
• Ensure high availability, performance, and security of the platform

Full Stack Engineering

• Lead development across frontend (React/Angular/Vue) and backend (Node.js/Python/Java/Go)
• Define best practices for clean code, modular design, and API-first development
• Oversee UI/UX integration for data-intensive and AI-driven applications

AI/ML Platform Integration

• Work closely with AI teams to integrate ML models into production systems
• Build and manage ML pipelines, inference systems, and model deployment frameworks
• Enable real-time data processing and decision-making systems
• Drive adoption of MLOps practices (model versioning, monitoring, retraining pipelines)

Leadership & Delivery

• Lead, mentor, and scale a team of platform and full-stack engineers
• Own technical roadmap, sprint planning, and delivery timelines
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AI, Robotics, Product, DevOps)
• Ensure adherence to engineering standards, documentation, and governance

DevOps & Scalability

• Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment strategies
• Drive containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Establish observability (logging, monitoring, alerting)

Required Skills & Qualifications

Core Engineering

• Strong expertise in full-stack development
• Frontend: React / Angular / Vue
• Backend: Node.js / Python / Java / Go
• Experience in designing distributed systems and scalable architectures
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, GraphQL, and event-driven systems

AI/ML Exposure

• Experience with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and data pipelines

Leadership

• Proven experience leading engineering teams (5–15 members)
• Strong ownership mindset with ability to drive end-to-end delivery
• Excellent stakeholder communication and problem-solving skills

Good to Have

• Experience in real-time systems / edge computing / IoT platforms
• Exposure to autonomous systems, robotics, or industrial AI
• Knowledge of stream processing (Kafka, Spark, Flink)
• Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms

What You'll Own

• Platform architecture for AI-driven products at scale
• Engineering excellence and best practices across teams
• Delivery of production-grade, enterprise-ready platforms
• Building a future-ready, scalable AI platform ecosystem
