Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health optimization on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. Help build the enterprise AI runtime and agentic platform that will power AI solutions across Optum. AI Factory Runtime and Agentic Platform Services provides a secure, scalable platform that enables engineering teams to deploy and operate AI workloads and agents across private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid environments. As Principal Technical Product Manager - AI Runtime, Agentic Platform & Compute, you will own the product strategy for this critical layer of AI Factory. You will transform GPU compute, Kubernetes, model serving, inference, agent runtimes, agent orchestration, multi-agent execution, lifecycle management, and observability into enterprise services that development teams can easily consume. You will define the product vision, roadmap, service model, and investment priorities while partnering with Engineering, Compute, Cloud, Security, Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Architecture leaders to build a high-performance enterprise AI platform. This role owns the AI runtime, compute, and operational agent platform experience. It does not own underlying physical infrastructure, enterprise model approval and Responsible AI policy processes, or the business-specific agents, AI applications, and solutions built by consuming teams. AI can only scale across the enterprise when engineering teams have secure, reliable, and easy-to-consume runtime and agent platform capabilities beneath their solutions. You will turn advanced GPU, Kubernetes, AI runtime, and agent execution technologies into standardized enterprise services that help teams move AI workloads and agents into production faster, while integrating with enterprise-approved model access, security, and governance services. This is an opportunity to shape a foundational AI platform serving one of the world's largest healthcare enterprises and influence how engineering teams securely deploy and operate AI workloads and agents at enterprise scale.
