We are looking for a Staff Platform Architect to join our Data & AI Platform Architecture team. We are a small, high-use group that shapes technology strategy across analytics products, AI/ML enablement, and data infrastructure at enterprise scale.

This is a role for someone with deep fundamentals in data, analytics, and MLOps platforms. You should also know how to evolve them to serve both humans and AI agents, internal and external, with equal thoughtfulness.

You will extend and evolve a set of existing platforms including our MLOps infrastructure, batch platform, analytics stack, and managed analytics offerings, while leading greenfield design of our AI-ready data foundation. You will report to the Sr. Director of Platform Engineering. This is an individual contributor position.

• Develop the infrastructure for our semantic and ontology layers. (including authoring and governance tooling, lifecycle management, and catalog integration)
• Design the usage infrastructure, including APIs, libraries, and services. This infrastructure should make these layers usable by any downstream consumer, such as internal users, client-facing products, and AI agents. The infrastructure should also include permission-aware semantic discovery.
• Guide technology adoption across engineering teams by making the right architectural choices well-reasoned and easy to follow.
• Lead focused prototyping and R&D efforts with analytics product and engineering teams to validate new AI and analytics capabilities before broader platform investment.
