Role
Who you are
- If you are excited by the pace of innovation in GenAI, passionate about building leveraged systems, and ready to lead a team that multiplies impact across the company, we want to hear from you
- 3–5+ years of engineering management experience, ideally in platform or infrastructure teams at high-growth technology companies
- A strong engineering background and hands-on experience designing scalable systems and developer platforms
- A product mindset and proven ability to work closely with PMs to shape roadmaps and make tradeoffs that maximize long-term leverage
- Experience learning from real-world customer use cases and translating those needs into reusable platform capabilities
- A strong understanding of the GenAI ecosystem and how infrastructure choices affect model performance and user experience
- Clear, decisive thinking in complex and fast-moving environments
- A track record of building trust with engineers, cross-functional partners, and senior leaders
- Operational excellence in planning, execution, and iterative improvement of complex systems
- Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), APIs, orchestration systems, and modern backend systems
- Strong communication skills and the ability to align diverse stakeholders around a common platform vision
What the job involves
- We are looking for a technical and strategic Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering efforts in Europe
- This is a high-impact role focused on building the infrastructure, tools, and abstractions that multiply the effectiveness of our customer-facing teams
- You will work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) and product teams to identify the common patterns, pain points, and opportunities in real-world deployments
- Your mission is to transform these insights into platform capabilities that enable faster, more scalable, and more consistent solution delivery
- Massive leverage: Instead of solving a single customer problem, you will design generalizable solutions that unlock speed and scale across many use cases and teams
- Close to the action: You will partner tightly with our FDE teams and product managers to turn hands-on delivery lessons into reusable platform components
- Shape the platform: You will guide architecture, tooling, and internal APIs that form the foundation for GenAI applications across industries
- Accelerate the organization: Your work will directly increase the velocity of customer delivery, reduce repeated engineering effort, and improve product quality
- This is a rare opportunity to define how next-generation AI infrastructure is built and scaled
- Lead and grow a high-performing team of platform engineers focused on building scalable, reusable capabilities for GenAI applications
- Partner closely with product managers and forward deployed teams to deeply understand real-world customer problems and delivery bottlenecks
- Translate learnings from enterprise deployments into generalizable infrastructure, APIs, and tooling that support a wide range of current and future use cases
- Set the technical direction for our platform, making smart architectural decisions that balance flexibility, performance, and simplicity
- Define and refine the interface between platform and application teams, ensuring clarity, velocity, and reliability across handoffs
- Build internal tools and capabilities that accelerate solution delivery and reduce repeated engineering effort across engagements
- Establish a culture of engineering excellence with a focus on code quality, system reliability, and operational efficiency
- Work cross-functionally with FDE, product, and infra teams to align roadmaps and maximize leverage across the organization
- Ensure consistent, high-quality delivery of platform features while maintaining velocity and prioritizing the highest-impact work
- Provide clarity on strategy, coach engineers for growth, and help recruit and retain top technical talent
Our take
When training AI models, lack of access to large scale, high quality, labelled data is often the barrier preventing machine learning teams from building something great. In fact, labelled data is even more essential than the algorithms themselves. Scale AI is solving this by providing easy access through developer APIs to a huge variety of labelled data sets covering a large range of areas within computer vision and natural language processing.
It seems that almost every company now is offering artificial intelligence enabled products to automate every aspect of our lives. By positioning themselves as the go-to source for high quality tagged data, Scale AI is in an excellent position as the AI sector continues it's exponential growth.
With innovative AI projects across a range of sectors including retail, energy, and healthcare, Scale AI is now a leader in the industry alongside OpenAI. It continues to forge partnerships with fintech tools and software engine developers such as Brex and Luminar to continue its evolution of digital markets.
