Job responsibilities
Designs, builds, integrates, and optimizes AI Foundation Services infrastructure components for GenAI and traditional AI/ML platforms, with a focus on production-quality delivery and hands-on engineering execution
Partners with Lines of Business (LOB) application teams to co-develop reusable AI/ML foundational service capabilities, managed service integrations, and platform adoption patterns
Translates Line of Business (LOB) application requirements into clear technical designs, implementation plans, and engineering deliverables that support successful launch and early operational readiness
Helps de-risk AI/ML platform delivery across performance, scale, reliability, and security by contributing to non-functional requirements, test plans, runbooks, observability, and production readiness reviews
Builds reusable engineering assets such as reference implementations, deployment templates, test harnesses, onboarding guides, and GPU/training/serving baselines for model hosting platforms
Drives adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), while establishing measurable validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing).
Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including approved AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation at scale.
Implements durable, maintainable code solutions and production platform capabilities that can be reused by multiple application teams and extended by other engineers
Collaborates with product, platform, security, infrastructure, and application teams to resolve complex technical issues and deliver AI Foundation Services capabilities aligned to business priorities
Participates in technical design reviews, operational readiness reviews, incident analysis, and continuous improvement activities to improve service reliability, scalability, and developer experience
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience
Hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and operating production software systems, distributed services, or platform capabilities
Practical experience with AI/ML platform capabilities, model serving, model hosting, data access patterns, platform integrations, or infrastructure services supporting AI/ML workloads
Experience developing cloud-native applications or platform services using Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and modern engineering practices
Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, Go, or similar, with demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality production code
Experience translating business or application team requirements into technical designs, implementation tasks, delivery milestones, and operational support plans
Working knowledge of performance engineering and production reliability practices, including load testing, capacity planning, monitoring, alerting, SLOs/SLIs, incident response, and root-cause analysis
Experience applying secure-by-design engineering practices, including access controls, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, and secure handling of sensitive data
Demonstrated experience leading effective use of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security
Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching senior engineers/leads on compliant usage patterns and controls.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate across product, application, infrastructure, and security teams to deliver complex technical outcomes
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
Experience building or integrating GPU-backed model hosting, inference, training, or batch processing platforms
Experience with LLM and model serving patterns, including routing, autoscaling, model gateways, inference optimization, evaluation workflows, and guardrail integration
Experience optimizing AI/ML workloads for latency, throughput, reliability, and cost using techniques such as profiling, batching, caching, concurrency tuning, and capacity modeling
Experience creating reusable developer enablement assets such as golden paths, reference architectures, deployment templates, onboarding playbooks, automated test harnesses, and operational runbooks
