This is a technical engineering management role for a builder‑leader. You will lead a team of strong staff and senior engineers through a critical transition: evolving from a Kotlin‑first SDK to a hybrid architecture that makes Python a first‑class citizen for agentic development. Lead the GenAI Platform team day‑to‑day as a builder‑leader: delivery, quality, team development, and ways of working.
Own the execution of the platform roadmap including but not limited to LLM gateway, agentic runtime, MCP layer, data retrieval, eval tooling, and the hybrid architecture transition.
Manage the stakeholder relationship with Data & AI Products as the primary internal customer and ensure the platform roadmap is shaped by product demand, not platform preference.
For more context, our tech stack currently includes AWS, Kotlin, Python, Kubernetes, LiteLLM, BrainTrust, Temporal, LLM APIs and more. Significant engineering management experience in platform or infrastructure teams, with demonstrated experience balancing technical delivery, hands‑on technical judgment, and people leadership.
Experience managing senior, highly autonomous engineers.
Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams through significant change. AI‑assisted engineering experience and familiarity delivering and driving outputs leveraging tools such as Claude Code (it is our tool of choice), Codex or Cursor.
Your platform engineering understanding is as strong as your understanding of the data space. You do not have a deep knowledge of data/ML‑heavy ecosystems.
Develop a thorough understanding of the platform's current architecture, the hybrid architecture transition in flight, and the most significant gaps, identify and make significant improvements with the team to achieve Pleo’s agentic goals.
