About the role
- Stand up and operate the runtime and lifecycle infrastructure for production agents, including deployment, versioning, monitoring, rate-limiting, and retirement.
- Define the deployment contract (config, secrets, tools, memory, evals) and the operational SLOs.
- Stand up self-hosted inference for workloads where managed APIs aren't the right fit, including latency-sensitive paths, regulated data, cost optimization, and vendor redundancy.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain end-to-end deployment pipelines for AI-powered applications, including artifact builds, environment promotion, rollback, and observability hooks.
- Drive new greenfield deployment platforms from initial build to the default that AI teams ship on.
- Own how the organization provisions, rotates, scopes, and meters access to model provider APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others).
- Build a key management layer that enforces per-team and per-app quotas, prevents leakage, and gives finance and engineering a clear view of spend.
- Build evals into the CI/CD pipeline so no agent or LLM-powered service ships without passing a defined eval bar. Design the framework so product teams can author their own evals against a shared harness, and so eval results gate promotion across environments.
- Own the serving stack, the autoscaling and GPU economics behind it, and the playbook for when a workload belongs to a managed provider versus internal infrastructure.
- Design and build the shared developer harness that every AI-powered service uses: prompt management, model routing, retries, tracing, eval hooks, and policy enforcement.
- Partner with finance on cost visibility, including token accounting, per-feature cost attribution, and real-time spend observability.
- 6+ years of platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering, with at least 2 years building production infrastructure for AI/ML or LLM-powered systems. We care more about depth and drive than years on a resume.
Requirements
- Production experience with LLM-powered applications, including prompt management, model routing, retries, tracing, and the operational realities of running agents or chains in production.
Nice to have
- Direct experience integrating with Anthropic, OpenAI, or other frontier model provider APIs at scale, including key management, quota enforcement, and capacity planning.
- Hands-on experience self-hosting models with vLLM, TGI, SGLang, or similar inference servers, including GPU autoscaling and cost optimization.
- Built or contributed to an eval framework that gated production deployments.
- Familiarity with agent runtimes and frameworks such as the Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, or in-house equivalents.
- Working familiarity with.NET, enough to read code, debug a deploy, and pair with service owners.
- FinOps experience, particularly attributing AI spend to features or business units.
- Kubernetes operator experience or comfort with custom controllers.
- Experience with Agile development methodologies, preferably both Scrum and Kanban
Skills
- Proven analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
Compensation
- $190,000 - $225,000
Benefits
- Participate in code review and promote collaboration and best practices including simplicity, automation, sound design patterns, test coverage, and reusability.
