AI Infrastructure Engineer

As the AI 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.
