AI Infrastructure Engineer

As theAI Infrastructure Engineer, you will design and operate AI-powered, cloud-native infrastructure that is self-monitoring, self-healing, and secure by default. You will lead the implementation of AIOps practices, build infrastructure as software using frameworks like AWS CDK, and establish standards for CI/CD, observability, traceability, and DevSecOps. Working across systems, you will enable reliable event-driven integrations and ensure continuous validation of system health, performance, and security. This is a hands-on leadership role combining deep technical execution with architectural ownership, driving scalable, autonomous, and resilient platform capabilities across the organization.

You will play a key role in transforming our infrastructure from traditional DevOps to AI-driven, autonomous operations. You will define how systems are built, integrated, secured, and operated—enabling teams to move faster while maintaining high reliability, visibility, and control at scale.

• Design and govern CI/CD pipelines that provision, validate, and deploy infrastructure with embedded security and compliance controls (DevSecOps)

• Define and implement security best practices, including policy enforcement, identity management, and continuous validation of system posture

• Design and support event-driven integration patterns across internal systems, ensuring reliable communication and signal propagation

• Define SLIs/SLOs and lead incident response, postmortems, and continuous reliability improvements

• Mentor engineers and influence architecture decisions across teams

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), platform engineering, or systems engineering

• Strong expertise in AWS across compute, storage, networking, and IAM

• Experience designing and operating systems supporting both traditional services and AI/ML workloads

• Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code, with emphasis on AWS CDK and reusable infrastructure patterns

• Deep experience with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and distributed systems debugging

• Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines with integrated infrastructure provisioning, testing, and security controls

• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SNS/SQS) and system integrations

• Proficiency in Python, Typescript, or similar programming languages

• Strong understanding of security principles, including least privilege, identity controls, and secure system design

Nice to Have

• Experience with SageMaker, Bedrock and AgentCore, Kubernetes (EKS) and container orchestration at scale

• Experience with Data Lakehouse platforms (e.g., Databricks) and data pipeline integration

• Experience building internal developer platforms or shared infrastructure frameworks
