As a Platform Engineer, you will develop and manage the enterprise pro-code AI Agent Platform using Azure, ensuring security, compliance, and robust operations. You'll automate cloud infrastructure, implement observability, and integrate AI services while collaborating across teams.
ROLE SUMMARY
Pfizer's purpose, breakthroughs that change patients' lives, is rooted in being science driven and a patient focused company. Digital and Technology is the driving force of data and AI innovation at Pfizer.
The Data and AI Platforms team, which is part of the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence organization is responsible for the creating a seamless experience for engineers to harness data, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, agentic, and visualization capabilities through a unified platform across the enterprise - from research and development, clinical, manufacturing, commercial and enabling functions across all geographies. The team is responsible for the self-service platform ecosystem, developer experience, and exploration of emerging technology.
Part of the Data and AI Platforms team are a group of Platform Engineers who are responsible managing components that form the enterprise pro code AI Agent Platform. This platform will be the digital engine that brings together investments we have made into a unified experience for colleagues that take us to the next level of value creation. It powers next generation insights by developing enterprise-grade data foundations, allowing data to flow horizontally, enabling a versatile analytics environment, and embedding insights into day-to-day work to create a digital, data-driven culture.
In this role, you will act as a Platform Engineer for the pro-code Agent Platform that serves a diverse group of colleagues - ranging from novice business analysts and developers to expert data scientists and principal engineers - across the enterprise. The role will require the ability to flex between technical engineering of the platform and hands on working knowledge creating Azure solutions and pro code AI agent applications as a Customer Zero of the platform. You will be an engineering and operations developer for the Azure-based Agent Platform, including integration of Foundry services to enable secure, scalable, and compliant pro‑code AI agents and data applications.
You will contribute to build a reliable, transparent, interoperable and sustainable enterprise-grade platform with security, governance, cost management, and lifecycle in mind to deliver a best‑in‑class developer experience. This will include using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) to provision cloud resources in a consistent, repeatable way, ensure environments are highly available and easily reproducible while ensuring tracing, monitoring, and observability of agents. You will also integrate Azure's latest capabilities (including Microsoft Foundry for Agentic AI applications) into the platform, helping the organization leverage Agentic AI in business solutions.
You may have a software development, systems engineering, or DevOps background, or you might have started your career in cloud platform engineering with modern infrastructure automation practices and have a passion for building robust cloud platforms that empower teams to move faster.
