About the role

  • As we expand our platform, we are standing up a new AI Platform & Infrastructure team: the engine room of AppGate's AI strategy.
  • You'll make the foundational decisions - cloud architecture, IaC conventions, CI/CD, observability, on-call - and then codify them so they scale beyond you.
  • Equally important, you'll be the DevOps mentor for a team that doesn't yet have deep expertise in this area: you multiply your impact by levelling up the engineers around you, not by being the only person who can operate the system.

Responsibilities

  • Build the Platform: Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and self-service tooling from a greenfield starting point, enabling product teams to build, test, and deploy safely and quickly with automated guardrails, rollbacks, and paved paths.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using Terraform and Helm, with reusable modules and patterns others can safely build on.
  • Security Best Practices: Implement security best practices across infrastructure and deployment workflows - secrets management, least-privilege access, certificate and key management, vulnerability remediation, and secure-by-default configuration - fitting for a company whose product is security.
  • Mentor and level up the team: coach engineers who are strong but new to DevOps/infra, run design reviews, pair on hard problems, write the docs and playbooks, and deliberately transfer expertise so the team can own and evolve the platform without depending on any one person.
  • Operationalize AI/ML: Build the MLOps foundation for AppGate's AI products - model serving and inference pipelines, model deployment, versioning, and drift monitoring, and the experiment-tracking and lifecycle tooling (e.g. MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker) that lets data scientists ship models safely and repeatably.

Requirements

  • Staff-level candidates typically bring 8+ years and Principal-level candidates 12+ years, though we hire on demonstrated impact.
  • You are comfortable being the most senior person in the room on this topic.
  • extensive DevOps, platform, infrastructure, or SRE engineering experience with a track record of operating production systems at scale.
  • hands-on experience standing up infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in a greenfield or early-stage environment - you have made the foundational decisions, not just operated within someone else's platform.
  • Observability expertise:

Nice to have

  • Self-managed data infrastructure: experience operating Kafka, Spark, Elasticsearch, or comparable stateful systems in production.
  • You can reason about traffic paths, latency and throughput end-to-end, and instrument the network as a first-class observability signal.
  • In furtherance of AppGate's policy regarding affirmative action and equal employment opportunity, AppGate has developed a written affirmative action program.
  • This program is available for review upon request by any applicant or employee during normal business hours by contacting the company's EEO Coordinator.
  • experience operating Kafka, Spark, Elasticsearch, or comparable stateful systems in production.
