The engineer builds and operates production-quality platform software and reusable services that support multiple business-facing products. These services may include approved model access, AI gateways, orchestration runtimes, identity and policy enforcement, evaluation, observability, deployment automation, and cost controls.\nThis is a hands-on software engineering role spanning platform services, APIs, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, reliability, and generative AI. The primary hiring bar is demonstrated ability to design, code, test, review, deploy, and support production systems. The engineer turns enterprise architecture and governance requirements into reusable platform capabilities and standardized engineering paths that allow development teams to move quickly without recreating security, integration, monitoring, or operational controls for every solution.\nResponsibilities:\nDesign, code, test, deploy, and operate shared enterprise AI platform services that are secure, scalable, resilient, observable, and easy for development teams to consume.\n\nWrite maintainable, production-quality software for platform APIs, control-plane services, data and event-processing components, SDKs, libraries, and developer tooling.\n\nMake sound software-architecture decisions covering service boundaries, interfaces, data models, concurrency, failure handling, performance, scalability, and backward compatibility.\n\nImplement governed access to approved foundation models and providers through gateways, APIs, SDKs, routing, quotas, authentication, authorization, and policy controls.\n\nDevelop platform APIs, services, libraries, command-line tools, templates, and reference implementations using languages such as Python, TypeScript, or Java.\n\nIntegrate identity, SSO, service identities, RBAC/ABAC, secrets management, network controls, data-protection controls, and audit logging into platform services.\n\nBuild automated unit, integration, security, performance, resilience, and platform-acceptance tests.\n\nCreate developer documentation, onboarding flows, sample applications, runbooks, reference architectures, and reusable engineering standards.\n\nEvaluate emerging models, frameworks, runtimes, gateways, and AI infrastructure against enterprise requirements and concrete engineering use cases.\n\nPartner with product and application teams to improve developer experience while maintaining clear ownership boundaries between platform and product teams.\n\nDevelop and review platform code, infrastructure-as-code, APIs, libraries, deployment pipelines, policies, automated tests, and operational tooling.\n\nWork with architects, security, identity, cloud, data, and application teams to turn requirements into reusable platform capabilities.\n\nActs as an informal technical leader by setting platform engineering standards, reviewing designs and code, and mentoring engineers.\n\nMay lead the delivery of a shared platform capability or coordinate technical work across cloud, security, data, and application engineering teams.\n\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software engineering, Cloud engineering, Information systems, Data engineering, Artificial intelligence, or a related technical field\n\nExperience in either of these: relevant cloud, Kubernetes, DevOps, SRE, security, data, or AI certifications\n\n6+ years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated hands-on development of production services, APIs, or distributed systems.\n\nDemonstrated experience designing, coding, testing, deploying, and operating shared production services used by multiple applications or development teams.\n\nHands-on proficiency with Python and at least one additional language such as TypeScript/Node.js, or Java.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience applying software-engineering fundamentals including modular design, data structures, concurrency, error handling, code review, automated testing, versioning, and maintainability.\n\nExperience with at least one major cloud platform and technologies such as containers, Kubernetes, serverless services, API gateways, queues, databases, caches, and secrets management.\n\nHands-on experience building production agentic or LLM systems using an orchestration framework such as LangGraph, Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), Semantic Kernel, or an equivalent technology.\n\nExperience with Git, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, security controls, and production incident response.\n\nPractical experience integrating LLM providers or building LLM-powered platform capabilities such as gateways, RAG services, agent runtimes, evaluations, guardrails, or monitoring.\n\nExperience working with enterprise security, architecture, data, identity, privacy, or governance teams.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\nSalary Range $110,000.00 - $150,000.00 USD\nPay is determined based on experience, qualifications, and location. Salaried employees may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses, profit-sharing, and long-term incentives for Executive-level roles.\nBenefits: Salaried employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, paid parental leave, disability coverage, and participation in the 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions subject to eligibility requirements. Additional benefits include a minimum of 15 vacation/PTO days (hourly employees receive a minimum of 120 hours) and 13 paid holidays (vacation days are prorated based on the employee's hire date within the calendar year). Paid sick leave is adjusted based on role and location in accordance with local laws. Detailed information regarding paid sick leave entitlements will be provided to employees upon hiring and may be subject to adjustments based on changes in legislation or company policies.\nOur Commitment to Inclusion\nOur journey begins with our people-developing strong talent with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to best serve our consumers around the world and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging. We are dedicated to ensuring that each individual can be their authentic self, is treated with respect, and is empowered by leadership to contribute meaningfully to our business.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nColgate is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, marital status, veteran status (United States positions), or any other characteristic protected by law.\nReasonable accommodation during the application process is available for persons with disabilities.
