Project description

The GenAI Platform Engineering Team Lead is the hands-on engineering leader of the team that builds and operates M&T’s enterprise GenAI platform: the governed AI gateway, model integrations, retrieval services, and environments through which the bank’s AI workloads run. Leading a team of platform engineers (SE II/SE III) and buildout contractors, this player-coach role owns delivery of the platform roadmap, technical quality, and production operation — while remaining an individual contributor on the hardest problems.

The role reports to the GenAI Services Director and partners daily with the GenAI Enablement team (governance, standards, intake, solution architecture) so that what the platform enforces matches what governance requires, with evidence produced natively

Responsibilities
bullet icon

Delivery & Technical Leadership

bullet icon

Own delivery of the platform roadmap: gateway hardening and enforcement, model provider integrations, retrieval services, environment tiers, and observability hooks.

bullet icon

Remain hands-on: design authority on platform architecture, code and design review, and direct contribution on critical-path components.

bullet icon

Direct and review contractor buildout work; enforce documentation, testing, and capability-transfer discipline so knowledge lands in the team.

bullet icon

Own production operation under the bank’s controlled-change and separation-of-duties model, including the AI production support rotation and incident management.

bullet icon

Team Leadership & Partnership

bullet icon

Lead, coach, and develop the platform engineering team (SE II/SE III); set the technical bar and grow engineers into track ownership.

bullet icon

Manage priorities across platform buildout, use-case support, and vendor-delivered workstreams; re-sequence transparently when approval paths or dependencies stall.

bullet icon

Partner with the Enablement team lead so governance standards, intake decisions, and platform enforcement operate as one system.

bullet icon

Represent platform status, risks, and trade-offs to the Director and governance forums with evidence, not assertions

Skills

Supervisory / Managerial Responsibilities

Direct supervisory responsibility for the GenAI Platform Engineering team (FTE engineers and assigned contractors): hiring, coaching, performance, and work direction.

bullet icon

Required Qualifications

bullet icon

Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 7 years’ technology experience including hands-on platform, cloud, or application engineering, with prior team leadership or technical lead experience; in lieu of a degree, a combined minimum of 11 years’ education and/or relevant experience.

bullet icon

Hands-on Azure platform depth: API Management, Entra ID, Key Vault, Azure AI services including Azure AI Foundry, monitoring, and IaC (Terraform/Bicep) — with the judgment to keep the platform venue-agnostic as additional model providers and tools onboard.

bullet icon

Hands-on GenAI experience: model integration, RAG patterns, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

bullet icon

Experience operating production platforms in a regulated, controlled-change environment.

bullet icon

Demonstrated ability to lead while contributing — a working manager, not an administrator

Nice to have

bullet icon

Financial services or other highly regulated industry experience; audit-evidence familiarity.

bullet icon

Experience directing vendor/contractor delivery and enforcing capability transfer.

bullet icon

Experience building a platform team from early stage
