## Description

* Own the strategy, architecture, and operation of our Agent Platform for deploying, running, evaluating, governing, and improving agents and agentic workflows, setting direction and ensuring reliability and scalability.
 * Architect the AI Infrastructure that agents depend on: LLM and MCP gateways with guardrails, fallback, usage and cost controls, and model rollout policies.
 * Design, build, and operate agents and workflows that carry engineering work from issue to production and business work from trigger to outcome, scaling them across teams and use cases.
 * Lead the development and evolution of our Developer Infrastructure (Source Control and CI) and the developer tools that improve builder flow and reduce friction across the company.
 * Partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can accelerate work and improve outcomes.
 * Define best practices for agents and agentic tooling, build the enablement materials and paved roads behind them, and proactively drive adoption across the organization.
 * Establish and drive measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, and cost) to quantify the productivity the platform unlocks, inform prioritization, and shape the roadmap.
 * Lead our work as customer zero: turn what we learn into validated requirements for Temporal Cloud, the SDKs, and our Agent Harness, own the feedback loop with product leadership, and drive our contribution to an open-source reference architecture that customer platform teams can adopt.
 * Mentor and support engineers on the team, raising the bar on technical design, execution, and use of agents and agentic tooling.
 * Participate in on-call rotation, while identifying and driving improvements that reduce operational burden and improve the internal user experience., * Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of leading the design, delivery, and operation of production-quality internal platforms or developer tooling.
