Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the infrastructure layer supporting AI agent workflows in production
- Ensure reliability, scalability, and observability of agentic systems across internal and external products
- Design and develop platform services, APIs, SDKs, and self service capabilities that allow engineering teams to easily consume AI infrastructure and agent platform services
- Manage and maintain the compute, orchestration, and serving infrastructure powering model inference and agent execution
- Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response procedures tailored to AI/ML workloads
- Utilize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform to provision and manage cloud (AWS) infrastructure components
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support rapid, reliable deployment of AI services and agent workflows
- Define and implement guardrails, failure handling, and recovery patterns specific to agentic and LLM powered systems
- Collaborate with AI and Data Engineering teams to translate experimental agent prototypes into hardened production systems
- Manage containerized workloads using Kubernetes, ensuring efficient deployment, scaling, and orchestration of AI services
- Implement access controls and security best practices across AI infrastructure environments

Full Job Posting
The team
- The AI Infrastructure team sits within the Data organization and is responsible for building, operating, and scaling the systems that power AI agents in production — both internal tools and external facing products.
- Working closely with the AI and Agent Systems teams, this group ensures that the orchestration, execution, and model serving layers underpinning agentic workflows are reliable, observable, and built to scale.
- This team operates at the intersection of data infrastructure and applied AI — a space that moves fast and demands engineers who can bring production discipline to emerging technology.
- Importantly, this is a platform engineering team. Beyond operating infrastructure, the team is responsible for building the APIs, SDKs, and platform capabilities that enable AI, Data, and Engineering teams to safely and efficiently consume agent infrastructure as a service.
