You will build and run the internal platform (infrastructure, internal tools, IT operations, and the people who maintain them) that runs AI agents alongside human engineers as a deliberate operating model. You are also the architect and manager of every AI workflow, tool, and agent the ventures inside the group rely on day to day. Not a company that’s planning to “explore AI next year.” A group where AI tooling is already in the workflow, and you will shape how it evolves.\nResponsibilities:\nWhat you’ll own\n Infrastructure. Proxmox clusters, AWS workloads, self-hosted services (SSO, wikis, observability, internal apps). You decide the architecture, you ship the IaC, you own the runbooks.\nInternal apps and agents. When a venture needs an internal tool, dashboard, ai agent, or workflow automation, your team scopes it, builds it, and ships it. You write code on this team, not just review it.\nAI workflows across the group. Every venture has its own AI needs. You partner with the lead of each, scope what they need, design the workflow, and ship it. You are the person every department head comes to when they want AI in their work.\nIT operations. Identity, endpoint management, access reviews, the unglamorous reliability work that keeps 150 people productive.\nThe translation layer. Stakeholders bring you problems in plain English. You turn them into technical specs your team can ship.\nYou’ll lead three direct reports today: one each for IT, infrastructure, and tools/apps. The team grows from there based on what the ventures need.\nHow you’ll work\nThe operating model is AI-native. You will work alongside an AI DevOps agent that maintains runbooks, proposes architecture, and reviews infrastructure changes. Claude or Cursor are daily tools for you and your team, the same way an IDE is. Infrastructure is code by default. Documentation is written as work happens, not after. If the idea of pairing with an AI agent on architecture review is interesting rather than uncomfortable, you’ll fit the room.\nRequirements\n5-10 years of experience. Where you started as a developer, moved into DevOps or platform engineering, and never stopped writing code. You’ve been doing this long enough to have opinions about what works.\nYou’ve managed small teams (2-5 people) and were good at it, but the management didn’t pull you out of the work.\nYou have excellent organizational discipline. Drift is your enemy. SOPs, runbooks, and documentation stay current because you keep them current, not because someone reminds you.\nYou communicate clearly across functions. You can sit with the head of sales, the head of finance, or the head of operations, listen past the stated problem to the real one, and walk out with a working spec.\nYou already use AI coding tools in your daily work, not because someone told you to, but because you tried them and they made you better.\nYou’re comfortable owning ambiguity. Nobody hands you a roadmap. You build it.\nYou’re not a fit if\nYou haven’t shipped code in years and prefer it that way.\nYou’re a deep specialist (pure SRE, pure observability, pure security) who wants to go deeper into one layer.\nYou need a fully scoped backlog before you can start.\nYou let documentation rot. You think SOPs are someone else’s job.\nAI in your daily workflow feels like noise rather than amplification.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3422,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Pakistan","iso":"PK","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T19:43:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.279,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":180,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","ghost","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/creativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/creativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T17:54:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24885,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":672867},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=672867"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcreativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcreativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcreativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/creativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcreativechaos-ai-platform-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":635797}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"creativechaos.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":635797},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
