• Multi-Cloud Platform Deployment: Deploying solutions across AWS SageMaker, Azure Machine Learning, and integrating OpenShift Container Platform with cloud-native AI services;

• Advanced Security & Networking Implementation: Designing comprehensive security controls across AI/ML pipelines, deploying advanced networking solutions including service mesh and network segmentation, and ensuring compliance with enterprise security policies;

• Platform Engineering & Automation: Building Infrastructure as Code for diverse platform components, developing automation tools for platform management, and implementing self-service capabilities for development teams; and

• Troubleshooting and Support: Resolving complex infrastructure issues across diverse application portfolios and maintaining comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems.

You're our ideal candidate if you have:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments and 5+ years of experience with AI/ML infrastructure and model deployment;

• Expert-level knowledge of AWS SageMaker, Azure Machine Learning, and extensive experience with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP);

• Advanced Kubernetes networking knowledge including CNI plugins, network policies, and service mesh implementations (Istio, Linkerd);

• Deep understanding of enterprise security frameworks including container security, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and compliance standards (SOC2, PCI-DSS, GDPR);

• Experience with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face) and MLOps tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, Seldon, KServe);

• Proven experience managing GPU clusters, NVIDIA GPU Operator, and distributed training environments;

• Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices including GitOps methodologies, CI/CD pipeline implementation, and infrastructure automation; and

• Strong communication skills, collaborative attitude, and comfort working in complex multi-platform environments.

What's in it for you?

• Become part of a team that thinks progressively and works collaboratively. We care about seeing each other reach full potential;

• A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock options where applicable;
