Are you excited by challenges?  Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced, international and dynamic environment?  Then now is the time to join Quorum Software, a rapidly growing company and industry leader in oil & gas transformation.

Quorum Software is the world's largest provider of digital technology focused solely on business workflows that empower the next evolution of energy. From emerging companies to supermajors, throughout every region of the globe, customers rely on Quorum's proven innovation and unmatched global expertise to streamline business operations and make data-driven decisions that optimize profitability and growth. Our industry-leading solutions are transforming energy companies across the entire value chain, helping visionary leaders evolve their organizations into modern energy companies.

Overview

We're seeking an Agentic Platform Engineering Lead to build Quorum's cross-product AI agent infrastructure. This role owns the technical architecture and delivery of the platform that enables 30+products to deploy AI agents safely and reliably at scale.

The ideal candidate brings deep full-stack experience and has built production platforms that evolve with technology shifts and changing product requirements. You'll architect infrastructure for agent orchestration, security, monitoring, and governance while building and leading the platform engineering team. This isn't about implementing a fixed spec. You'll make technical decisions about what to build versus buy, establish patterns that let product teams ship independently, and adapt the platform as agent capabilities and product needs change.

This role requires someone who can balance hands-on technical work with team leadership. You'll maintain significant code contributions while owning roadmap execution and hiring decisions. Strong API design skills and experience building developer platforms are essential. The platform needs to stay ahead of both technology evolution and product team demands, requiring someone who can anticipate needs and pivot quickly.

You'll work directly with product teams to drive adoption through clear documentation, useful tooling, and direct support. The goal is making it easy for teams to ship agent features without platform bottlenecks or waiting for centralized capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of Quorum's cross-product AI agent platform, enabling 30+ products to deploy and manage AI agents safely, reliably, and at scale.
• Architect and build core infrastructure for agent orchestration, security, monitoring, and governance, ensuring the platform is scalable, maintainable, and adaptable to evolving technologies.
• Own technical strategy and roadmap execution, making key build-versus-buy decisions and defining patterns that empower product teams to ship independently.
• Maintain hands-on technical contributions, writing production code while guiding architectural direction and platform evolution.
• Build and lead the platform engineering team, overseeing hiring, mentoring, and establishing high standards for technical excellence and collaboration.
• Define and maintain API and integration standards, ensuring consistency, usability, and developer satisfaction across Quorum's product portfolio.
• Drive platform adoption by delivering clear documentation, robust tooling, and responsive support that help product teams implement agent features quickly and safely.
• Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to anticipate future needs, align priorities, and evolve the platform as agent capabilities and business requirements change.
• Ensure operational excellence through best practices in reliability, observability, and governance for AI agent deployments.
• And other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• 5+years in platform engineering or distributed systems
• Proven track record building and scaling multi-tenant platforms or developer infrastructure
• Experience architecting systems that handle complex workflows and state management
• Strong full-stack development skills across backend services, APIs, and web applications
• Experience leading technical teams and hiring engineering talent
• Background in API design and building tools for other developers
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Proficiency with modern backend technologies (Python, Java, C#, Elixir, , or similar)
• Experience with observability and debugging tooling for distributed systems
• Comfortable owning production systems: monitoring, incident response, reliability
• Strong communication skills for technical documentation and direct product team support

Preferred Skills

• Experience building platforms for AI/ML workloads or agentic systems
• Familiarity with LLM orchestration frameworks and agent architectures
• Knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP)or similar extensibility patterns
• Experience with multi-agent coordination and task delegation systems
• Background in developer experience and platform adoption strategies
• Familiarity with vector databases and semantic search
• Experience building chat interfaces or conversational UI
• Background in enterprise security and compliance requirements

Additional Details

• Background Check: The successful candidate will need to successfully complete the following clearances: Criminal History Check, Education Verification, Employment Verification, Driver's License Verification and passport/ID validation.
• Visa Sponsorship: Employment eligibility to work with Quorum Software in the United States or Canada (wherever the successful candidate is currently located) is required as the company will not pursue visa sponsorship for this position. The successful candidate will be required to ensure they maintain and renew any visas or permits that grant employment eligibility where applicable.
