IC Agentic Engineering Manager - Stargate

We are seeking an IC Agentic Engineering Manager to lead the development and application of agent-based systems for infrastructure delivery and operations within Stargate.

This is a player-coach role: you will contribute directly to system design and implementation while leading a small team. You will focus on applying agentic systems to infrastructure workflows such as deployment orchestration, system bring-up, issue triage, debugging, and capacity management.

This role is not focused on building general-purpose agent platforms. Instead, it is centered on applying agentic systems to solve concrete infrastructure problems, working closely with hardware, networking, and cluster teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build agent-based systems to support infrastructure deployment and operations

• Identify high-impact opportunities to apply agents across workflows such as:

• cluster bring-up and deployment readiness

• incident triage and root cause analysis

• system validation and health monitoring

• capacity management and operational decision-making

• Lead a small team while contributing directly as an IC across system design, development, and integration

• Partner with infrastructure, hardware, and networking teams to integrate agentic systems into production workflows

• Develop systems that leverage telemetry, logs, and system signals to enable closed-loop automation

• Define evaluation frameworks to measure system effectiveness, reliability, and operational impact

• Drive iteration from prototype to production, ensuring robustness and scalability

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering background in distributed systems, infrastructure, or platform engineering

• Experience building production automation systems or data-driven operational tooling

• Experience applying AI, ML, or agent-based approaches to real-world systems or workflows

• Ability to operate as a hands-on IC while leading a small team

• Experience working cross-functionally with infrastructure, hardware, or systems teams

• Strong problem-solving skills in complex, ambiguous environments

Preferred Skills

• Experience with LLM-based systems, agents, or autonomous workflows

• Background in infrastructure operations, SRE, or large-scale system deployment

• Experience working on cluster bring-up, debugging, or data center infrastructure systems

• Familiarity with telemetry, monitoring systems, and observability pipelines

• Experience building internal tools or platforms for engineering productivity and operations
