The Opportunity

AI Platform is Root’s team for building the infrastructure, tooling, and operating patterns that make AI capabilities reliable, secure, and usable across Root’s products and operations.

Root is a "work where it works best" company. This means we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Turn a promising AI foundation into a capability Root teams can count on by leading delivery of shared services, tools, deployment patterns, and operational practices.
• Set quarterly technical priorities that balance today’s user needs with the foundational investments that unlock tomorrow’s products and workflows.

• Bring the right partners together across product engineering, data, security, and platform teams to resolve dependencies before they slow delivery.

• Grow the team’s technical capacity by coaching engineers through complex designs, delivery challenges, and the tradeoffs that matter.
• Build trust in the platform by keeping stakeholders clear on progress, risks, and the decisions that will improve outcomes.

What You Will Need to Succeed

• 5+ years as a software engineer
• 1+ years leading software teams or major technical initiatives
• Demonstrated ability to lead team-level technical delivery and make sound decisions in partially defined problem spaces.
• Deep experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, Terraform, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience designing secure, observable, reliable systems and incorporating technical investments into team roadmaps.
• Strong understanding of AI/LLM application and platform patterns, including their operational and security implications.
• Ability to identify cross-team dependencies, align familiar stakeholders, and improve delivery outcomes.
• A coaching mindset and track record of helping teammates grow through complex technical work.
