AI Platform Engineer – Developer & Product Enablement

Ziff Davis is a vertically focused digital media and internet company, and they are seeking an AI Platform Engineer to design and build foundational systems, APIs, and tooling for their engineering and product teams. This role involves architecting AI-powered infrastructure and enhancing collaborative workflows to drive product development acceleration.

Responsibilities:

• The individual in this position will own the lifecycle of internal AI APIs, SDKs, and developer tooling to abstract LLM complexity and establish reliable, production-grade primitives
• You will build and maintain CI/CD-integrated AI systems, including code review automation, test generation pipelines, and agentic systems capable of executing multi-step engineering tasks
• Additionally, you will drive product development acceleration by integrating AI capabilities directly into existing collaborative workflows like Jira, GitHub, and Slack
• Design evaluation frameworks and automated testing pipelines to ensure AI system outputs meet quality thresholds
• Build observability tooling to monitor model behavior, token costs, latency, and production output quality
• Establish shared prompt libraries, model routing logic, and reusable context management systems
• Define and enforce engineering standards for AI system development across the division
• Provide technical guidance and conduct architectural reviews of AI features built by product teams

Requirements:

• 5+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure, with at least 2 years building production AI/ML systems
• Deep experience with LLM APIs and a strong understanding of how these systems behave under real production load
• Experience building internal developer platforms, tooling, or shared infrastructure used by other engineers
• Proficiency in Python and at least one compiled language; comfortable across the full backend stack
• Familiarity with agentic frameworks
• RAG architectures
• vector databases
• infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
