AI Platform Engineer (AI COE)

The AI Platform Engineer is accountable for designing, building, and operating the core AI platform that is at the center of Lineage’s AI strategy. With 400+ facilities in two dozen countries, the opportunity to safely and reliably put trusted AI capabilities into the hands of Lineage Logistics’ teams has never been greater. The platform this role builds is the foundation that our AI solutions depend on, from model serving and evaluation pipelines to developer environments and deployment automation.

At Lineage, the aim is not to build the largest technology team; instead, we are creating a small, highly skilled group that focuses on having the right mix of talents, skills, and the capacity to learn in areas that define our core differentiation. We leverage cloud services, best-of-breed libraries and components, and external teams to augment our capabilities with sufficient capacity.

This means that in addition to being a firsthand technologist, you also need to be able to review and collaborate with internal and external partners to deliver, and to build a platform that enables Forward Deployed Engineers and other colleagues to ship use cases rapidly and safely.

As a company, Lineage builds state-of-the-art systems to make our employees productive, to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations, to assist in our growth, and to create a technology platform that enables Lineage to achieve its vision of transforming the food supply chain. This is a foundational role in that journey, and it will require someone who has a true passion for building secure, scalable platforms and for the responsible application of AI at enterprise scale.
