About This Opportunity
We are representing a confidential fintech organization seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead their DevOps and AI Platform functions. This is a strategic people-leadership role at the intersection of platform reliability and emerging AI infrastructure, managing approximately twelve engineers across two critical functions.
Responsibilities
- Lead, grow and develop engineers across DevOps and AI Platform functions, owning hiring, performance management, coaching and career development
- Set strategy and operating model for DevOps including release safety, developer experience, observability, cost optimization and platform scalability
- Lead the AI Platform function as a centre of excellence, owning shared agent-building frameworks, patterns, MCP management, evaluation frameworks and AI infrastructure
- Act as a two-way conduit between the centre of excellence and product teams, disseminating best practices and channeling feedback to improve approaches
- Partner with technical leads and senior engineers to shape technical direction while focusing on people leadership and delivery
- Own infrastructure cost, scalability and efficiency with a FinOps mindset as transaction volume grows
- Champion SRE and reliability practices across the organization, partnering closely with the SRE function
- Support infrastructure and process maturity for certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC2, working with InfoSec
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements:
- Proven track record managing DevOps, platform or infrastructure engineering teams, including hiring and scaling teams
- Deep infrastructure background (cloud, IaC, CI/CD, observability) sufficient to make sound strategic decisions and guide senior engineers
- Genuine curiosity about AI with demonstrated hands-on experience in AI, agents and evaluations—not necessarily deep expertise, but real engagement with the space
- Strong interest in AI-assisted software delivery lifecycle, understanding that adoption, practice and guardrails turn AI access into real leverage
- Kubernetes literacy grounded in hands-on engineering experience, sufficient to reason about infrastructure decisions
- AI fluency with ability to demonstrate practical, responsible use of AI in engineering contexts and set team norms around AI usage
- Leadership style focused on team growth and impact rather than personal technical output
- Ability to earn credibility with senior engineers through sharp questions and facilitation rather than hands-on expertise
- Honesty and pragmatism about timelines and trade-offs when managing long-term build-outs across multiple functions
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience leading or building internal platforms, ML platforms, developer-experience or enablement functions
- Hands-on exposure to agent frameworks, MCP, or building and running evaluation frameworks
- Experience during company scaling phases
- Exposure to ISO 27001/SOC2 compliance requirements for infrastructure and processes
- Experience with high-throughput, low-latency systems in regulated or financial contexts
