Job Description

Senior Director, AI Platform Engineering – Enablement

Ford Motor Company

• This role requires a leader who brings deep technical knowledge of enterprise AI platforms and the strategic judgment to look across every platform EPEO offers — spanning leading AI and cloud platform providers — and define where AI belongs, what it should change, and how the organization gets there. • The Senior Director, AI Platform Engineering & Enablement brings two equally weighted mandates. On the engineering side, this leader applies deep technical judgment to evaluate, architect, and govern how AI capabilities are integrated across EPEO’s platform portfolio — ensuring what is deployed is the right capability, properly engineered, and fit for the business functions it serves. • On the enablement side, this leader ensures AI capabilities from our major providers are not just procured but actively activated, governed, and embedded into how our platforms operate.

Job Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in technology, including significant hands-on platform strategy, enterprise architecture, or AI infrastructure leadership
  • Deep working knowledge of the enterprise AI provider landscape across leading cloud platforms, enterprise AI assistant and productivity platforms, and frontier AI model providers — able to evaluate technical capabilities and architectural fit, not just vendor positioning
  • Demonstrated experience assessing and rationalizing AI portfolios at enterprise scale — you have looked across a large organization’s AI landscape, identified what belongs and what doesn’t, and made recommendations that were acted on across business functions
  • Hands-on background in cloud platform architecture sufficient to evaluate AI capabilities at the architectural level — not just vendor positioning
  • Experience designing or governing enterprise AI governance, FinOps, and enablement frameworks from the ground up — not inheriting and maintaining, but building and standing up
  • Strong understanding of LLM architecture, agentic patterns, RAG, multi-model orchestration, and AI infrastructure primitives at enterprise scale
  • A strategically-oriented leader who combines technical credibility with the ability to drive organizational change through influence
  • Proven ability to operate with a long time horizon in an environment where the technology changes quarterly — holding a multi-year strategic view while remaining responsive to a rapidly evolving AI landscape
  • Experience leading in large, matrixed engineering organizations (5,000+ engineers) where influence without direct authority is the primary mode of getting things done
  • Genuine intellectual curiosity about the AI frontier — you follow research, engage vendors at the technical level, form independent views, and are rarely surprised by what ships
  • Track record of managing strategic AI vendor relationships with hyperscalers and AI-native companies at the architecture and roadmap level
  • Experience in a Fortune 500 or large-scale enterprise environment with complex regulatory, compliance, and security requirements
  • Demonstrated ability to build the business case for multi-million dollar AI platform investments and present to C-suite and board-level stakeholders

Benefits

  • Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
  • Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
  • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
  • Tuition assistance
  • Established and active employee resource groups
  • Paid time off for individual and team community service
  • A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
  • Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time

Role Description HiveRx is a production pharmacy operations platform built for regulated compounding environments. It is actively used, actively growing, and actively being extended across pharmacy workflows, integrations, and compliance-heavy operations. This role owns core platform development: the features and systems that power every pharmacy we support. That includes sterile compounding workflows, pharmacy-specific operational needs, insurance and ERP touchpoints, and the platform foundations that will eventually support AI-assisted and agentic workflows. This is not a pure feature-ticket role, and it is not a generic backend role. It requires someone who can understand the business process, the regulatory constraints, the technical architecture, and the long-term platform consequences of what they build. Job Activities and Responsibilities - Build and extend core HiveRx platform capabilities used across regulated pharmacy operations - Work on compliance-heavy workflows involving compounding, dispensing, pharmacy configuration, insurance, and operational controls - Contribute to architecture decisions for platform features that need to scale across many pharmacies with different workflows - Write production-quality Laravel and Vue code that fits the existing system rather than fighting it - Participate in QA, release planning, and post-release validation for platform changes - Translate business needs and regulatory requirements into detailed, unambiguous feature specifications - Research workflows, compliance constraints, vendor APIs, ERP behavior, and integration patterns - Help bring more ERP, inventory, finance, and operational integration ownership in-house, with NetSuite experience especially valuable across the hiring slate - Work directly with internal stakeholders to extract and validate requirements - Write specs that are complete enough to be handed off without a follow-up meeting - Support active platform tracks and keep implementation moving without unnecessary consultant dependency - Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks proactively across data integrity, auditability, workflow edge cases, access control, and operational failure modes - Contribute to technical, user-facing, and compliance-relevant documentation - Help define implementation standards for HiveRx platform work - Raise architectural concerns before they become expensive product problems - Other duties as assigned Qualifications - Strong command of PHP and Laravel; you can read, debug, and write production code in a real codebase - Comfortable with Vue 3, Inertia.js, Tailwind CSS, and Vite-based frontend tooling - Experience designing and maintaining integrations with ERP, finance, inventory, or operational systems is strongly preferred - NetSuite experience is especially valuable because we want at least one senior product engineer who can help bring that integration knowledge in-house - Able to work within an established architecture without needing to rebuild it - Experience working in or building software for regulated industries, preferably healthcare - Understanding of compliance considerations that affect software design: audit trails, data integrity, access control, and change documentation - Familiarity with pharmacy, compounding, dispensing, ERP, or adjacent workflows is a meaningful plus - Able to learn pharmacy workflows deeply enough to make correct product and engineering decisions - Comfortable using AI tools as a productivity layer for research, code review, implementation support, and documentation - Able to critically evaluate AI-generated code and documentation, especially in compliance-sensitive contexts - Understands where AI output requires extra scrutiny: edge cases, regulatory logic, data handling, and integration boundaries - Strong technical writer; your specs require minimal clarification - Able to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders - Detail-oriented without being slow; you know when a spec is done - Comfortable explaining tradeoffs, risks, and implementation constraints clearly - Senior ownership mentality; you do not wait for perfect instructions before structuring the work - Comfortable with ambiguity; able to impose structure on it - Skeptical in the right ways; you look for failure modes before they reach production - Not looking for a role with clean lines; this role has overlap by design and requires someone who can context-switch without losing quality Requirements - Backend: PHP 8.4 / Laravel 13 - Postgres via Eloquent ORM - Laravel Horizon (Redis queues), Scout (search), Sanctum (auth), Reverb (WebSockets) - Saloon for API integrations - Frontend: Vue 3 / Inertia.js v2 - Tailwind CSS v4 / Vite - Testing: Pest v4 / PHPUnit 12 - Infrastructure: Kubernetes on AWS Physical Requirements - Ability to sit for extended periods. - Effective communication skills via telephone and email. - Ability to lift forty (40) pounds.
