Tech Lead - AI Platform
Makro PRO
Role Description The Tech Lead — AI Platform is the senior technical leader for the platform runtime, AI engine, and agent-orchestration tier of an AI-native retail decisioning platform. The role is accountable for architectural integrity, build vs buy decisions, integration with upstream data and knowledge-graph services, and the agent runtime's safety and scale properties — and leads a team of senior software, AI, and ML engineers. Remote candidates outside of Thailand are welcome to apply. - Own the reference architecture for the platform's runtime, decisioning, and agent-execution tiers; co-chair the Architecture Review Board; author Architecture Decision Records. - Design, build, and operate the agent runtime (LangGraph, CrewAI, or chosen framework) — deployment, scale, observability, cost per invocation. - Design and ship an agent autonomy framework with progressive trust levels (shadow / recommender / executor patterns) and measurable gate criteria; operationalise human-in-the-loop patterns for every agent. - Own the agent registry — catalogued, versioned, owned, gated, monitored agents. - Define and operationalise the consumption contract with upstream knowledge-graph, semantic-layer, data-product, and event-stream services from the platform team. - Lead the AI-side decisioning components — orchestrator, trust gate service, agent-side helpers — and coordinate consumption of LLM Gateway and Vector Search services. - Lead a team of senior software, AI, and ML engineers; mentor on agent-engineering discipline; partner with peer Tech Leads on handoffs into application and experience layers. - Own runtime SLOs — invocation P95, success rate, HITL response time — and per-agent cost meter; lead incident response for runtime degradation. Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline. - 8+ years software engineering with 3+ years in a Tech Lead / Staff role owning platform standards. - Production agentic systems experience — multi-agent orchestration, HITL gates, eval-driven CI; not just RAG demos. - Strong distributed-systems fundamentals — concurrency, message queues, observability, performance. - LLM platform depth — at least one major provider (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex) in production with cost / latency optimisation. - API-first design discipline — service contracts, SLOs, versioning, deprecation policies. - Cloud platform experience (Azure preferred; AWS / GCP transferable). - Architectural authorship — has written ADRs, chaired ARB, made build-vs-buy calls with executive sponsors. Preferred Qualifications - Built or led a production multi-agent platform serving multiple business consumers. - Open-source agent framework contributions (LangChain / LangGraph / AutoGen / DSPy). - Retail / commerce / fintech domain experience; knowledge-graph production experience (Neo4j, Neptune, TigerGraph). - Causal inference exposure (DoWhy / EconML).

Role Description The Head of Retail AI Platform is the senior leader accountable for an AI-native retail decisioning platform end-to-end — strategy, roadmap, delivery, team, governance, and commercial outcome. The platform delivers a portfolio of product suites and agents to merchandising, supply chain, finance, supplier collaboration, and executive-insight users, operating a multi-million-baht programme with a senior engineering team. Remote candidates outside of Thailand are welcome to apply. - Own the platform roadmap end-to-end — phased multi-release delivery, suite sequencing, agent prioritisation, budget vs scope; resolve open strategic and architectural decisions on documented timelines. - Run the platform operating model — Steering Committee, Architecture Review Board, AI governance reviews, cost review, data-product contracts review — with executive sponsors and peer technology directors. - Lead phased multi-release delivery across an 18–24-month horizon — foundation launch, supplier-collaboration suite, retail-operations and executive-insights suites, then commerce-intelligence suite — each with measurable commercial outcomes. - Lead recruitment of the engineering leadership team and the broader IC team; set engineering culture (domain-driven design, agent-native, retail-specific, human-in-the-loop by default). - Own the peer-platform interface — data platform / engineering / governance — operationalise the service contracts (LLM gateway, knowledge graph, data products) and resolve scope-overlap escalations. - Chair governance for agent autonomy progression (shadow / recommender / executor patterns) with measurable criteria and stakeholder sign-off. - Own the commercial narrative with executive sponsors — quarterly business review, ROI tracking, budget burn, run-cost trajectory; defend the platform to the CFO office. - Manage risk — capital exposure on build vs buy, vendor lock-in, regulatory exposure, delivery slippage — with a documented register and clear mitigations. Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related discipline. - 12+ years in software / data / AI engineering with 5+ years in a senior leadership role (Director / Head / VP) accountable for product delivery and team P&L. - Shipped AI-native products at scale — agentic systems, ML platforms, decisioning engines, or comparable — with demonstrable commercial outcomes, not just demos. - Strong technical depth in at least one of: agent runtimes (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), LLM platforms, classical ML deployment at scale, lakehouse architectures, knowledge graphs. - Programme governance experience — chairing steering committees, presenting to executive sponsors, managing capital budgets at the tens-of-millions scale. - Built and retained engineering teams at 20+ FTE scale in Southeast Asia. - Cross-functional partnership — has navigated peer-platform organisations, Legal / DPO, InfoSec, CFO office. - Excellent written and verbal communication; speaks finance, technology, and business with equal credibility. Preferred Qualifications - Retail technology background — POS, replenishment, merchandising, loyalty, supply chain. - Regulated-AI experience (banking, healthcare, public sector); multi-cloud or hybrid production environments. - Open-source platform leadership; public speaking / thought leadership in AI or agentic systems. - Executive education in AI strategy or digital transformation (MIT Sloan, INSEAD, Stanford or comparable).
