Manager, Platform Engineering, AI & Datascience
Job Purpose and Impact
The Manager for AI Platform Engineering leads the team that designs, builds, and operates Cargill’s enterprise AI-Ops platform—covering MLOps, LLMOps/GenAIOps, HPC scheduling, and optimisation services (e.g., Gurobi, RStudio Workbench). You will own the platform roadmap, allocate people and budget, drive project delivery, and embed best-in-class reliability, security, and compliance practices. Success is measured by platform uptime, model-to-production velocity, cost-to-serve trends, and team engagement.
