You will build and operate the runtime, governance, and developer experience that product and service teams use, from model routing, caching, shared RAG services, MCP interfaces, Spec Kits, AI frameworks, Skills registries, to prompt management.

You ensure AI agents and workloads run in a responsible (AI FinOps) and technically robust environment, with integrated safety. As an expert of the AI tools and framework landscape, you define what becomes an AI standard. In short, you form the runtime and governance backbone that AI Use Case Delivery and service teams build upon.

Provide a plug-and-play surface for teams with AI FinOps, quotas, usage metering, and safety/compliance guardrails built in.
Define and maintain platform standards (frameworks, SDKs, Spec Kits, MCP interfaces), curating the AI tool landscape and managing lifecycles from sandbox to standardization or retirement.
Implement platform-wide observability (metrics, logs, traces), SLOs, cost and performance instrumentation, and incident response processes.
Partner with AI Gateway, governance owners, hyperscalers, AI frontier labs for regulated industry features, terms of service and roadmap influence.
Optimize platform scalability, reliability, and cost across regions and environments; drive capacity planning, release automation, and risk recovery.
