The Role Build and operate shared AI platform infrastructure for secure, reliable foundation-model access. Responsibilities include developing scalable systems, model gateways, provider integrations, routing, usage controls, observability, governance, and self-service capabilities. Partner with engineering, product, security, and infrastructure teams; contribute to technical roadmaps, make architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and review code while ensuring production systems are resilient, secure, cost-effective, and maintainable. Summary Generated by Built In As a Senior Software Engineer II on Aledade's AI Core Platform team, you will help build and operate the shared infrastructure that enables applications and AI agents across Aledade to securely and reliably access foundation models. You will work on the platform capabilities behind model access, including model gateways, cloud AI services, provider integrations, routing and fallback, usage controls, observability, reliability, and model governance. We're looking for engineers who think beyond implementing individual features and consider the full lifecycle of production platform systems: architecture, scalability, failure modes, security, observability, operational readiness, cost, and developer experience. You will help evolve the platform as AI adoption grows across Aledade, building reusable and self-service capabilities rather than one-off solutions. You will work closely with engineers, product partners, security, infrastructure teams, and teams building AI applications and agents. Successful engineers in this role are comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces, making pragmatic technical decisions, and building secure, maintainable, observable, and resilient systems.

Primary Duties:

Develop and implement scalable and performant solutions. Partner, as a peer, with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and stakeholders throughout Aledade to develop and execute technical roadmaps using Agile processes. Mentor and coach more junior engineers including thorough pull request reviews for other developers and be receptive to critical feedback on your own work.
