Job Description – AI Platforms & Cloud Infrastructure
Experience: 10-15 years
Reports – Engineering Head
Role Summary
Design, automate and operate cloud-native infrastructure for enterprise AI platforms. Build highly available, secure and scalable deployment environments supporting AI applications, microservices, workflow orchestration and enterprise integrations. Own CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability, security and production operations across development, staging and production environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and manage cloud-native infrastructure for enterprise AI platforms.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for rapid and reliable software delivery.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters, container platforms and cloud services.
- Implement monitoring, logging, tracing and operational dashboards.
- Collaborate with Engineering, AI, Data and Solution Architecture teams to support production deployments.
- Manage production incidents, root cause analysis and platform reliability.
- Optimize infrastructure cost, scalability and operational efficiency.
Cloud & Platform Responsibilities
- Manage AWS, Azure or GCP environments.
- Deploy Docker containers and Kubernetes workloads.
- Implement autoscaling, load balancing and high availability.
- Manage secrets, certificates, IAM, networking and security policies.
- Implement disaster recovery, backup and business continuity strategies.
- Support enterprise deployments within customer cloud environments and VPCs.
Observability & Reliability
- Implement centralized logging, distributed tracing and metrics collection.
- Build monitoring dashboards using Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog or equivalent.
- Define SLOs, SLAs and operational KPIs.
- Support load testing, stress testing, failover testing and capacity planning.
- Implement resilience patterns including retries, circuit breakers and graceful degradation.
Required Technical Skills
- Docker, Kubernetes and container orchestration.
- AWS, Azure or GCP cloud platforms.
- Terraform, CloudFormation or equivalent Infrastructure as Code tools.
- GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI or equivalent CI/CD platforms.
- Linux system administration and shell scripting.
- Python or Bash scripting.
- Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog or equivalent observability tools.
- Networking, IAM, security, API gateways and enterprise infrastructure.
AI-Driven Coding & Engineering Practices (Mandatory)
- Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code or equivalent.
- Leverage AI to accelerate Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipeline development, YAML generation, scripting and documentation.
- Use AI to troubleshoot production incidents, optimize infrastructure and automate repetitive operational tasks.
- Review and validate AI-generated infrastructure code, scripts and deployment configurations before production use.
- Apply prompt engineering techniques to improve DevOps productivity and automation.
- Follow AI-assisted DevSecOps best practices while maintaining governance, security and compliance.
Preferred Experience
- Enterprise AI platforms, SaaS, Media & Entertainment, OTT, workflow automation or large-scale cloud-native applications.
- Experience supporting AI workloads, GPU infrastructure or enterprise AI deployments is desirable.
Success Measures
- Highly available, secure and scalable production environments.
- Reliable CI/CD pipelines with rapid deployment cycles.
- Low production incident rates and fast recovery times.
- Optimized cloud cost, infrastructure performance and operational efficiency.
- Strong observability, automation and platform reliability.
