Description

We are seeking a hands-on technical leader to build and lead a high-performance engineering organisation that architects, delivers, and operates production-grade software systems at global scale.

You will be responsible for transforming enterprise IT operations from manual, reactive workflows into fully automated, AI-driven platforms that scale with NVIDIA’s hyper-growth.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect and ship agentic AI systems using LLM-based agents, tool calling, RAG, and orchestration frameworks delivering production-grade AI-assisted operations across enterprise IT domains including employee support, endpoint services, and IT support operations.
  • Design and deploy autonomous AI agents that execute complex, multi-step enterprise workflows end-to-end coordinating approvals, vendor handoffs, cross-system data reconciliation, and exception handling with human-in-the-loop controls delivering measurable improvements in availability, cycle time, cost, and compliance.
  • Engineer robust integration and automation platforms spanning ServiceNow, ERP and procurement systems, endpoint-management platforms, Own the full stack infrastructure, data pipelines, APIs, and user-facing applications.
  • Set the engineering standard through hands-on technical leadership co-authoring production code, conducting rigorous code reviews, and personally driving system design for the most critical components.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain top-tier engineering talent. Build a high-performing team culture grounded in engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous delivery.
  • Define and execute a multi-quarter technical roadmap for automation and agentic operations across enterprise IT, with each initiative tied to quantifiable business outcomes (cost reduction, throughput, SLA improvement, headcount avoidance).
  • Drive disciplined execution,project prioritization, milestone tracking, capacity planning, and on-time delivery,while maintaining engineering velocity in a fast-moving environment.
