About the role

However, historically it's been hard to find and expensive to develop.
We're building the infrastructure that lets our team put AI agents to work on that data - safely.
You design systems where the path of least resistance is also the safe path.
You'll own the access control architecture that governs what agents can read, write, and call in both production and sandboxed experiments - explicit trust boundaries, revocable credentials, and audit trails that hold up under scrutiny.

You have worked with LLM tool-use or function-calling in a production or near-production context.
You have hands-on experience with at least one agentic framework and its operational tradeoffs.
Fluent in How Agents Fail: You have worked with LLM tool-use or function-calling in a production or near-production context.

Experience with multi-tenant systems where isolation between environments is a hard requirement, not a best-effort.
Familiarity with model serving infrastructure and the patterns that apply when the model itself is proprietary.
Experience with data access patterns in scientific or geospatial contexts - raster/vector data, large file stores, or similar environments where data sensitivity and file size create real engineering constraints.
Experience managing LLM provider integrations at the API layer - cost observability, rate limiting, failover logic, or gateway tooling.
Single-provider depth is fine
understanding when and why you'd need to abstract to multi-model is what matters.
Experience in Python, TypeScript, Golang, Pulumi, or Kubernetes - you'll be involved with infrastructure tooling that uses aspects of each while setting up frameworks for the company.

Success in this role centers on two tightly related workstreams that share the same hard underlying problem: letting agents operate on sensitive company data and models safely.
At Zanskar, we're using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid.
We need a Platform Engineer to own that infrastructure: the systems that let agents operate on sensitive company data and models without creating pathways for that data to be deleted, altered, or exfiltrated.
