About the role
As the Head of AI Native Operations, you will lead a central team to build an AI-native internal operating system where autonomous agents carry operational workflows end to end. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will architect the orchestration and harness layers, build initial critical components, manage evals, observability, and safety guardrails, and mentor senior individual contributors to scale agent adoption across the company.
What you'll do
- Own the agent platform architecture, including orchestration, system connectors, shared context/memory, and production deployment paths.
- Implement comprehensive evaluation frameworks to catch model, prompt, and tool regressions before shipping.
- Ensure total agent observability by tracing every run, decision, operational cost, and quality trend.
- Design safety and security guardrails such as least-privilege credentials, audit logs, escalation thresholds, and prompt-injection defenses.
- Identify high-impact internal workflows to fully automate and package successful patterns into reusable platform components.
- Recruit, direct, and grow a team of senior ICs while reviewing pull requests and maintaining a high engineering quality bar.
What you bring
- Proven track record personally designing and building autonomous agent or production LLM systems that others depend on.
- Deep architectural knowledge of orchestration, context/memory, tool integration, tracing, evals, and guardrails.
- Strong security judgment shipping agents with real action permissions under tight access controls.
- Demonstrated technical leadership mentoring senior engineers and conducting thorough design and code reviews.
- Familiarity with Git, Markdown, pull request workflows, and ability to read/write Python or TypeScript.
