Senior Agentic AI Platform & Deployment Engineer

Location: Singapore, hybrid or remote Employment type: Full-time Reporting to: Founders Salary : Competitive About Nestria AI Nestria AI builds high-assurance Agentic AI solutions for product security, engineering validation and regulatory readiness. Our technology helps organisations automate complex technical workflows while producing reliable, traceable and expert-reviewable outputs. Our solutions are designed for enterprise environments, including private and customer-managed deployments. The Role We are looking for a senior, hands-on engineer who can independently lead complex Agentic AI deployments from technical discovery through implementation, validation and customer handover. You will serve as a senior technical owner across customer projects, working closely with the founders while providing continuity of technical leadership across concurrent deployments. Projects may span AI-enabled security assurance, secure product development, regulatory readiness and other advanced enterprise applications. This is a broad startup role combining solution architecture, applied AI, platform deployment and customer-facing technical leadership. Key Responsibilities • Lead customer deployments from requirements discovery and architecture design through implementation, testing and handover. • Translate technical, security and business requirements into practical Agentic AI workflows and delivery plans. • Design and implement multi-agent systems incorporating orchestration, retrieval, tool use, structured context, human review and evidence generation. • Lead technical discussions with customer security, infrastructure and engineering teams. • Own technical planning, dependencies, risk identification, delivery milestones and engineering quality. • Develop and deploy AI-enabled cybersecurity and assurance workflows across product and engineering environments. • Apply sound cybersecurity and secure-system principles to solution design, testing and deployment. • Ensure that system outputs are reliable, reproducible and suitable for expert review. • Deploy and operate solutions across cloud, on-premise and restricted environments. • Establish reliable practices for containerisation, model serving, access management, logging, monitoring, upgrades and recovery. • Review code and architecture, troubleshoot complex issues and mentor junior engineers. • Convert project-specific work into reusable platform components and deployment patterns. • Represent Nestria confidently in customer workshops, technical demonstrations and project reviews. Required Experience • Approximately 6+ years of experience across one or more of software engineering, AI/ML systems, platform engineering or technical solution delivery, or equivalent experience leading complex technical implementations. • Strong hands-on programming skills, preferably in Python, with experience building production-quality systems and integrations. • Practical experience building or deploying LLM-powered applications, agentic workflows, retrieval systems or AI automation platforms. • Experience independently leading technically complex customer projects. • Strong understanding of system architecture, APIs, containers, Linux environments, networking, authentication and secure deployment. • Experience deploying applications in cloud and customer-managed environments. • Working knowledge of cybersecurity and secure-engineering principles, with the ability to apply them to system design, testing and deployment. • Ability to convert ambiguous requirements into an executable technical plan and communicate technical trade-offs clearly. • Strong software-engineering practices covering testing, code review, version control, documentation and release management. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work directly with enterprise engineering and security teams. Preferred Qualifications • Background in product security, firmware, embedded systems, cryptography or hardware security. • Experience in the semiconductor, hardware-product, safety-critical or critical-infrastructure sectors. • Strong understanding of core cybersecurity concepts, secure-system design, threat analysis and vulnerability assessment. • Experience applying AI or automation to security, assurance or complex engineering workflows. • Familiarity with cybersecurity standards, product-security obligations or regulatory-readiness frameworks. • Experience working with private, customer-managed or restricted computing environments. What Success Looks Like Within the first six months, you should be able to: • Independently lead a customer deployment and act as its primary technical owner. • Understand Nestria’s core architecture and safely make implementation and deployment decisions. • Establish repeatable deployment, testing, monitoring and release practices. • Strengthen at least one AI-enabled security or assurance workflow from prototype to customer-ready implementation. • Reduce founder dependency for routine architecture, delivery and troubleshooting decisions. • Guide other engineers while maintaining technical quality across projects. What We Offer The opportunity to take meaningful ownership of advanced Agentic AI applications, work on real-world cybersecurity and engineering challenges, and help shape the technical foundations of an early-stage Singapore deep-tech company. The role offers substantial autonomy, close collaboration with an experienced founding team and exposure across applied AI, cybersecurity, product development and enterprise deployment. Note: The responsibilities described above are indicative. Scope and priorities may evolve based on customer projects, market requirements and developments in AI and security technologies.
