•Hands-on, current experience deploying production AI/ML systems at enterprise scale

•Direct experience with large language models. Specifically self-hosting open-weight models (not just calling commercial APIs) and serving optimization (quantization, inference optimization, GPU utilization)

•Experience designing and deploying agentic AI systems

•Experience with both cloud and on-premises GPU infrastructure

•Proven ability to hire and lead high-performing engineering teams

•Experience with infrastructure procurement / capacity planning / vendor management

•Databricks experience
