Position Overview:
Our customer's AI engineering team is looking for a DevOps engineer to run cloud operations and deploy security guardrails as code. The goal is to move away from manual console work (ClickOps) so that every change is made through code, reviewed, and tracked. Guardrail changes for both non-production and production go through pull requests in a new repository, and you will help build and run that process. You'll sit within Engineering and help keep the AI data plane running reliably.
Engagement details: Ongoing, with budget in place through at least November 2027. Location, start date, and interview process: To be confirmed.
Responsibilities:
* Deploy and maintain guardrails and cloud infrastructure as code using Terraform and CloudFormation
* Manage changes through pull requests in GitHub, with review and approval before anything reaches production
* Build, operate, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub, including the approval gates that control releases
* Maintain the AI data plane and the cloud environments around it
* Troubleshoot failed network connections and manage DNS, domain names, and certificates for encryption
* Use GitHub Copilot to speed up routine work, and review what it produces
* Document processes and work with the AI and engineering teams as new needs come up
Qualifications:
* Hands-on experience with AWS in a production environment
* Working knowledge of Terraform and CloudFormation, and a habit of managing infrastructure through code rather than the console
* Experience with GitHub workflows and Jenkins pipelines, and a clear understanding of how CI/CD gates work
* Solid networking fundamentals, including DNS, TLS certificates, and connectivity troubleshooting
* Comfort following clear direction and working in a team
* Curiosity about AI infrastructure, which is still evolving, so some of this work will be new to everyone
* Preferred: Experience building reusable Terraform modules or developer templates
* Preferred: Familiarity with AI or ML platform infrastructure
* Preferred: Experience in security or compliance focused environments
