Job Title: GenAI Platform Engineering Team Lead
Location: Remote
Project description
The GenAI Platform Engineering Team Lead is the hands-on engineering leader of the team that builds and operates the client's enterprise GenAI platform: the governed AI gateway, model integrations, retrieval services, and environments through which the bank’s AI workloads run. Leading a team of platform engineers (SE II/SE III) and buildout contractors, this player-coach role owns delivery of the platform roadmap, technical quality, and production operation — while remaining an individual contributor on the hardest problems. The role reports to the GenAI Services Director and partners daily with the GenAI Enablement team (governance, standards, intake, solution architecture) so that what the platform enforces matches what governance requires, with evidence produced natively.
Responsibilities
- Delivery & Technical Leadership
- Own delivery of the platform roadmap: gateway hardening and enforcement, model provider integrations, retrieval services, environment tiers, and observability hooks.
- Remain hands-on: design authority on platform architecture, code and design review, and direct contribution on critical-path components.
- Direct and review contractor buildout work; enforce documentation, testing, and capability-transfer discipline so knowledge lands in the team.
- Own production operation under the bank’s controlled-change and separation-of-duties model, including the AI production support rotation and incident management.
- Team Leadership & Partnership
- Lead, coach, and develop the platform engineering team (SE II/SE III); set the technical bar and grow engineers into track ownership.
- Manage priorities across platform buildout, use-case support, and vendor-delivered workstreams; re-sequence transparently when approval paths or dependencies stall.
- Partner with the Enablement team lead so governance standards, intake decisions, and platform enforcement operate as one system.
- Represent platform status, risks, and trade-offs to the Director and governance forums with evidence, not assertions.
Skills Must have
- Supervisory / Managerial Responsibilities
- Direct supervisory responsibility for the GenAI Platform Engineering team (FTE engineers and assigned contractors): hiring, coaching, performance, and work direction.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 7 years’ technology experience including hands-on platform, cloud, or application engineering, with prior team leadership or technical lead experience; in lieu of a degree, a combined minimum of 11 years’ education and/or relevant experience.
- Hands-on Azure platform depth: API Management, Entra ID, Key Vault, Azure AI services including Azure AI Foundry, monitoring, and IaC (Terraform/Bicep) — with the judgment to keep the platform venue-agnostic as additional model providers and tools onboard.
- Hands-on GenAI experience: model integration, RAG patterns, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
- Experience operating production platforms in a regulated, controlled-change environment.
- Demonstrated ability to lead while contributing — a working manager, not an administrator.
Nice to have
- Financial services or other highly regulated industry experience; audit-evidence familiarity.
- Experience directing vendor/contractor delivery and enforcing capability transfer.
- Experience building a platform team from early stage.

Senior Level Engineering Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level engineering job?
Employers hiring at the senior level look for engineers who have owned complex systems end-to-end, not just contributed to them. Demonstrating that you have made architectural decisions, resolved production incidents independently, and mentored junior engineers gives your application a clear edge. A portfolio of delivered projects with measurable outcomes matters more than credentials alone at this stage.
Which companies hire senior level engineers?
Companies hiring senior level engineers right now include Google, BKF Engineers, and Capital One, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including large technology companies, industrial manufacturers, and growth-stage firms that need experienced engineers to own critical systems.
Are there remote senior level engineering jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid options are well established at the senior level. About 29% of senior level engineering openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting strong employer demand for experienced engineers regardless of location. On-site roles tend to cluster in industries where physical infrastructure or lab access is required.
What makes an engineering role senior level?
A senior level engineering role is defined by scope and ownership, not just years on the job. Senior engineers are expected to set technical direction, make independent design decisions, and be accountable for outcomes across a system or product area. Mentoring less experienced engineers and partnering with product or business stakeholders are standard expectations at this level.
Which industries hire the most senior level engineers?
Senior level engineering roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive the highest hiring volume because they rely on complex infrastructure, hardware development, or large-scale software systems that require experienced engineers to lead and maintain them.
