Platform Lead

About the role

Lead the build: Architect Saber's AI platform from the ground up and build the engineering team that brings it to life. We’ve been recognized by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of America’s Most Admired Workplaces for 2026! As an employee recently said, “I feel I have a lot of support. I feel like part of the team.”

The Platform Lead has technical responsibility for the Company's AI, internal applications, and automations, built as an agentic harness over a governed data foundation. The role is responsible for their architecture, security, and infrastructure, makes key architecture decisions, leads AI governance, and sets the engineering standards the team works to. The role demands breadth across distributed systems, cloud data architecture, agentic AI, security, and application engineering, with deep expertise in several of these areas. The primary duties of this position involve the performance of work requiring advanced knowledge in a field of science/learning, which require the consistent exercise of discretion and judgment.
