Our client, a large, complex enterprise organization, is looking for a Principal AI Engineer to serve as the lead architect and hands-on builder of a unified AI Platform as a Service (PaaS) a secure, multi-tenant foundation that helps internal teams build and operate semantic discovery, conversational experiences, and autonomous agent workflows at scale.

Summary:

The Principal AI Engineer will design and build an enterprise-grade “AI operating layer” that turns modern foundation model capabilities into a governed, reusable platform used across multiple business domains. This role balances approximately 40% hands-on development with 60% platform strategy, personally building core orchestration services, standardized capability interfaces, and trust/safety guardrails. The platform will enable teams to deploy specialized agents that can collaborate via defined protocols, securely access grounded knowledge sources, and execute autonomous tasks within a controlled, high-availability runtime.

Location: Remote (U.S.) / Hybrid options may be available based on client needs.

Compensation Range: $145,000 - $250,000 per year plus RSUs & Bonus

Benefits: Very competitive benefits

Responsibilities

• Architect and deliver a self-service AI platform that provides reusable patterns, reference implementations, and standardized building blocks for internal engineering teams.
• Define and communicate a multi-year platform roadmap, ensuring technical priorities map to enterprise outcomes and adoption goals.
• Design and implement stateful orchestration (state graphs/state machines) to handle planning edge cases, recovery, and self-correction in autonomous workflows.
• Build and operate secure remote tool gateways (e.g., MCP-style servers) and implement controlled function-calling interfaces for connecting agents to sensitive enterprise systems.
• Establish interoperability standards for agent-to-agent collaboration, enabling autonomous discovery and reliable task handoffs across independently built agent solutions.
• Design an agent identity and authorization layer that supports fine-grained permissions, auditable actions, and strong accountability for autonomous behaviors.
• Implement a unified knowledge layer using semantic retrieval and multimodal grounding to support accurate, “source-aligned” responses and decisions.
• Build long-term context persistence (“memory”) using retrieval and graph-based storage to preserve institutional knowledge and improve continuity over time.
• Create a trust and evaluation layer with automated testing pipelines to measure quality, safety, cost, latency, and reliability of agent behavior across tenants.
• Own runtime lifecycle management for agent sessions, ensuring high availability, persistence, scalability, and controlled rollout patterns.
• Lead deep code reviews focused on agent-specific failure modes (runaway loops, tool misuse, state growth, unreliable calling patterns) and implement mitigations.
• Optimize inference performance and spend through techniques such as prompt caching, model routing, and workload-aware runtime strategies.
• Act as a technical multiplier by mentoring senior/staff engineers on advanced agentic patterns, evaluation methods, and production hardening.
• Partner closely with Cloud and Infrastructure teams to influence enabling services and platform primitives needed for enterprise AI delivery.
• Raise the bar on engineering quality via documentation, profiling, reliability improvements, and ongoing performance tuning.

The main function of a non-IT program manager is to plan, direct, or coordinate activities in such fields as engineering, research and development, financial systems and product roll-out, etc or any other non-IT based project.

A typical day in this role begins with reviewing recent Alarm Flood IcMs and recurring alarm trends across supported sites to understand where alarm performance is creating operational risk or inefficiency. The program manager assesses severity, frequency, and impact to prioritize improvement opportunities and determine where engagement with site teams is most needed.

Daily work centers on close collaboration with site Operations, Engineering, and Instrumentation/Controls teams. Rather than implementing changes directly, the role facilitates discussions around alarms currently impacting operators, helps teams evaluate improvement options, and drives alignment on changes to alarm design—such as setpoints, delays, deadbands, suppression logic, or state‑based alarming—to reduce alarm volume and improve alarm quality.

The role actively participates in local and regional alarm management forums, representing the Global Alarm Management Program. In these settings, the program manager ensures proposed changes align with program standards and best practices, clearly articulates expectations, and tracks actions to ensure improvements deliver measurable reductions in nuisance alarms while maintaining safe and reliable operations.

In parallel, the program manager partners with the broader Global Alarm Management team to identify site‑level improvements that may be candidates for broader adoption. This includes evaluating scalability, risk, and applicability across similar systems and regions, and helping translate local successes into repeatable, global solutions.

Throughout the day, the role balances data‑driven prioritization, stakeholder coordination, and program oversight—ensuring alarm management initiatives remain focused on outcomes: alarms that support operators by clearly identifying abnormal conditions requiring action, without contributing to alarm fatigue or operational overload.

The ideal resume would contain demonstrated experience across the entire alarm management lifecycle, including concrete examples of analyzing data, implementing alarm changes, and driving global feedback and improvements, rather than experience limited to a single phase or function.

Job Responsibilities:

• Coordinate projects, make detailed plans to accomplish goals and direct the integration of technical activities.

• Present and explain proposals, reports and findings to clients.

• Recruit employees, assign, direct, and evaluate their work, and oversee the development and maintenance of staff competence.

• Analyze technology, resource needs and market demand, to plan and assess the feasibility of projects.

Skills:

• Verbal and written communication skills, problem solving skills, attention to detail and interpersonal skills.

• Basic ability to work independently and manage one’s time.

• Basic knowledge of production processes, quality control, costs and other techniques for maximizing the effective manufacture and distribution of goods.

• Basic knowledge of business and management principles involved in strategic planning, resource allocation, and production methods.

• Basic knowledge of computer software, such as MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Project, Visio etc.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in business administration or a related field.

• PMI or PMP certification preferred.

• 2-4 years’ experience required.
