AI Platform Engineering Lead (Senior Manager)

Location: Anywhere in Country

About the role

We are seeking a senior leader for our AI Platform Engineering group, the team that builds and operates the foundational substrate powering EY’s AI-native platform. This role is accountable for the infrastructure and cloud-native platform layers of our AI runtime, from bare-metal and GPU infrastructure through Kubernetes, cluster fabric, secure inference, and multi-tenant scaling. You will set the technical direction for a team of AI Infrastructure and AI Systems Engineers, and be accountable for standing up and running EY AI environments across cloud, on-prem, edge, client-managed, and air-gapped targets. This is a player-coach role. You will direct the team’s work and own the delivery roadmap, while remaining a hands-on individual contributor who personally designs, builds, and troubleshoots the most critical and complex parts of the platform.
