    Description:

    We are building a Forward Deployed AI Engineering team to support the transformation to an AI-first infrastructure organization.

    Early AI initiatives have already delivered a 60% reduction in migration effort, a 50% reduction in modernization effort, and an automated vulnerability discovery and remediation pipeline. Engineers will act as transformation catalysts, using AI as the first approach to solving problems and enabling engineering teams to adopt AI-driven solutions.

    Target Infrastructure Domains:

  • Modernize infrastructure platforms and improve cloud migration efficiency.
  • Build vulnerability remediation automation.
  • Rapidly develop proof-of-concepts and deliver measurable productivity improvements.
  • Mentor engineering teams and drive AI adoption across the organization.

  • Required Skills:

  • Strong Python programming, scripting, and API development.
  • Infrastructure engineering and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK, VMware, OpenShift).
  • Configuration-as-Code (Ansible, Puppet).
  • DevOps, CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
  • Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS), Helm, Service Mesh.
  • AI-assisted development using GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, prompt engineering, and LLM-based software development.
  • AI workflows, AI agents, and agentic frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, N8N, AutoGen).
  • LLMOps (LiteLLM, semantic caching, prompt versioning, A/B testing).
  • Observability (OpenTelemetry, Dynatrace, Grafana).
  • Cloud security (VPC, PrivateLink, encryption, data residency).
  • Security automation, vulnerability management, FinOps, and cloud migration.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills with a self-starter mindset.

  • Qualifications:

  • Strong experience in AI-assisted software development and infrastructure automation.
  • Hands-on expertise in AWS cloud technologies, DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience building AI workflows, AI agents, and automation solutions.
  • Knowledge of compliance standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP is preferred.
  • Experience with platform engineering, cloud modernization, and AI-driven infrastructure transformation.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and influence engineering teams through innovation.
  • AI-native mindset with a passion for automation and delivering measurable business outcomes.
