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.

Tips for Your Remote Engineering Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote engineering openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly. Remote postings fill fast, so applying the day a role goes live puts you ahead of most candidates.
Build an async-first work sample
Remote engineering teams evaluate how well you communicate technical decisions in writing. Include a README, a pull request with clear comments, or a written design doc in your portfolio to show you can collaborate without a meeting.
Target remote-first companies specifically
Companies built as remote-first have distributed team structures, async workflows, and established onboarding for remote engineers. Focusing your search on these employers means you won't be the only remote hire on a team designed for an office.
Prepare for the remote technical interview format
Remote engineering interviews often include a take-home project, a live coding session in a shared editor, and a system design discussion over video. Practice explaining your reasoning out loud as you code, since interviewers are watching both your solution and how you think.
Remote Engineering Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote engineering job?
Target companies that already run distributed engineering teams, since they have established workflows for remote engineers and hire for it consistently. Remote engineering employers screen heavily for async written communication, self-directed execution, and the ability to unblock yourself without in-person collaboration. Strong code review habits, thorough documentation, and experience with tools like Git, Jira, and async communication platforms give candidates a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote engineerings?
Remote engineering roles are posted by Providence, Cisco, and Fleetio and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first software companies, fintech firms, and distributed infrastructure teams tend to hire engineers remotely most consistently across all seniority levels.
Can you get a remote engineering job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level engineering roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person onboarding or mentorship nearby. Early-stage startups and remote-first product companies are the most likely to hire junior engineers remotely. A strong portfolio of shipped projects, open-source contributions, or contract work demonstrates you can deliver without hand-holding, which is what remote employers need to see.
Do you need a degree for remote engineering jobs?
Not always. Many remote engineering employers weigh demonstrable skills, a portfolio of real projects, and prior work history more heavily than a formal degree, particularly at product-focused startups and remote-first software companies. Certifications, coding bootcamp completions, and consistent open-source contributions carry real weight when your code and commit history are visible and speak for themselves.
Which industries hire the most remote engineerings?
Most remote engineering openings sit in Technology & Software, Insurance, and Human Resources, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams that can collaborate across time zones and ship product without requiring engineers to be on-site.
