Meet the team!

AI Platform provides the shared foundations that help teams across Preply build, ship, and operate AI capabilities safely at scale. The area includes ML Platform, GenAI Platform, and Agentic Platform. You will lead GenAI and Agentic Platform: approximately 8-12 engineers across two teams, while partnering closely with ML Platform leadership.

GenAI Platform owns shared model access, routing, evaluation, observability, prompt and configuration lifecycle, retrieval, grounding, and guardrails. Agentic Platform builds on those foundations with durable execution, tools, state, context, memory, permissions, human controls, agent evaluation, and runtime safety.

The two teams share a Product Manager. Together, you will shape strategy, priorities, adoption, and outcomes; clarify what belongs in shared infrastructure versus product teams; and evolve the platform as models, frameworks, and company needs change.

GenAI and Agentic AI are central to Preply's AI strategy. As the Senior Engineering Manager for GenAI & Agentic Platforms, you'll own the engineering strategy, execution, and organizational health of two complementary teams that take AI workloads from experimentation to reliable production systems.

Set the long-term engineering vision for GenAI Platform and the Agentic Platform, ensuring they operate as a single, coherent platform.

Partner with the Product Manager across both teams to define outcomes, prioritize investments, and measure the impact of the platforms.

Lead and develop approximately 8-12 engineers across two teams through clear expectations, direct feedback, performance management, career growth, and coaching.

Own hiring quality, team composition, evolving team boundaries, and operating models as the platforms and company change.

Guide architecture across model access, evaluation, observability, retrieval, agent orchestration, tools, state, memory, permissions and control planes.

Translate strategy into realistic plans, balancing foundational investment with near-term product needs while surfacing trade-offs and maintaining speed, quality, and predictability.

Align senior stakeholders across Product, Applied Science, Data, Security and Engineering on platform standards, build-vs-buy decisions and shared priorities.

What you need to succeed:

8+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years in engineering management and experience leading multiple teams or a multi-squad technical area.

A track record of hiring, coaching, and retaining high-performing teams.

Strong technical depth in platform engineering, backend or distributed systems, ML infrastructure or developer infrastructure.
