Lead Azure AI Platform Engineer

Lead Data & AI Platform Architect | Singapore

A large enterprise is standing up a greenfield data and AI platform and needs a hands-on architect to design it, build it, and run it through first production.

This is not an oversight role. You will pick the stack, wire the systems, deploy the platform, and own it end to end before it scales.

Platform you will build

• Microsoft Azure (core control plane)

• Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2

• Azure Synapse Analytics

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

• Azure ML

• Azure OpenAI / GenAI services

• Databricks (Lakehouse, Spark, ML)

• Hybrid connectivity to on-prem via ExpressRoute

• Azure Active Directory / Entra ID integration

• Azure Arc for hybrid resource management

What you will do hands-on

• Design and implement hybrid Azure + on-prem architecture

• Build core data storage, analytics, ML, and GenAI layers

• Integrate identity, networking, firewalls, and private endpoints

• Deploy Databricks, ML, and GenAI workloads on secure Azure foundations

• Define and implement Infrastructure-as-Code

• Automate platform provisioning and environment rollout

• Establish operational patterns for monitoring, access, and cost control

• Act as the initial platform owner during early production rollout

Infrastructure & automation

• Terraform

• Bicep / ARM

• Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions

• CI/CD for data and ML platforms

• Secrets management with Key Vault

Who this fits

• Strong cloud and data platform engineer turned architect

• Comfortable making stack decisions under pressure

• Hands-on builder, not a governance-only role

• Experience delivering enterprise-scale platforms, not just components
