Job description

"I can succeed as the Head of AI Platform Engineering at Capital Group."

As the Head of AI Platform Engineering, you will lead the vision, strategy, and delivery of Capital Group's enterprise AI platform. You will architect secure, scalable, and resilient foundations that accelerate innovation while meeting rigorous standards for security, compliance, and operational excellence. You will collaborate across engineering, security, and risk teams to turn cutting-edge AI into measurable business value-governing responsibly and optimizing for speed, reliability, cost, and ROI.

In this role, you will build and lead a diverse, high-performing team that develops and operates Capital Group's AI platform. You will own the end-to-end design, delivery, and evolution of a secure, scalable platform that empowers teams across the organization to build and deploy AI applications at scale. You bring deep expertise in platform engineering and a strong understanding of AI / ML systems, enabling developers and business partners to innovate responsibly. You will work closely with Product Management, Architecture, and Information Security to integrate AI with care, enforce governance, and ensure compliance. As the principal engineering authority for AI, you will make strategic decisions that balance agility, control, and enterprise risk.

"I am the person Capital Group is looking for."

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and Execute Platform Strategy : You will set the vision, roadmap, and operating model for Capital's Custom Development AI platform, aligning with enterprise architecture and business goals while balancing speed, scale, and governance.

  • Ensure Security, Compliance, and Responsible AI : You will embed security, privacy, and ethical guardrails into all layers of the platform, enforce governance standards, and partner with InfoSec and risk teams to meet regulatory and policy requirements.
  • Drive Operational Excellence and Reliability : You will establish SRE principles, observability, FinOps practices, and service management processes that ensure high availability, cost efficiency, and resilience of AI services.
  • Lead Cross-Functional Collaboration and Team Development : You will partner with product, architecture, and security teams to deliver enterprise-ready AI solutions, while mentoring and growing an inclusive, high-performing platform engineering team.

  • You demonstrate a solid understanding of AI, large language models, and end-to-end ML workflows (training, fine-tuning, inference), with hands-on MLOps and production model deployment experience.
  • You are adept at troubleshooting complex cross-stack issues using data and telemetry and driving timely resolution.
  • You lead by example-mentoring engineers, guiding cross-functional initiatives, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive culture.
  • You communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and executives, producing well-structured proposals, architectural diagrams, and documentation.
  • Preferred Qualifications
