AI Infrastructure Engineer

NewGen Technologies; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

NewGen Technologies is seeking an experienced cloud engineering professional to modernize systems by migrating to a secure cloud environment and updating software that handles background investigation data for sensitive personnel access.

The role focuses on Terraform-based Bedrock resource management, Artifactory artifact distribution, and building connector infrastructure with Lambda/ECS to expose internal data sources to Bedrock agents. Strong communication skills are essential.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship is required.
• Active Secret clearance with Security+ certification.
• Minimum 2+ years of professional experience.
• Proficiency with Terraform to create Bedrock resources as modular, version-controlled code.
• Experience with Artifactory for distributing versioned infrastructure artifacts across environments.
• Hands-on deployment of Bedrock models (Custom Model Import / Provisioned Throughput) and cost/commitment planning.
• Experience hosting connectors/integrations (Lambda, ECS, containers) exposing internal data sources.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Define IAM roles, VPC endpoints, Knowledge Bases, and Guardrails as Terraform modules - not console clicks
• Version and distribute reusable infrastructure artifacts (Terraform modules, container images, Lambda packages) through Artifactory
• Build and deploy connector infrastructure (e.g. MCP servers, Lambda-based integrations), linking Bedrock to internal APIs, databases, and ticketing systems
• Deploy custom/fine-tuned models via Bedrock Custom Model Import or Provisioned Throughput, including the cost/commitment tradeoff analysis
• Build cost/usage observability (per-model, per-developer spend and budget alerts) so spend doesn't scale silently

Job description

The program supports modernization efforts by migrating systems to a secure cloud environment and modernizing software that captures, processes, and retains background investigation information for personnel seeking access to sensitive information.

Responsibilities

• Define IAM roles, VPC endpoints, Knowledge Bases, and Guardrails as Terraform modules - not console clicks
• Version and distribute reusable infrastructure artifacts (Terraform modules, container images, Lambda packages) through Artifactory
• Build and deploy connector infrastructure (e.g. MCP servers, Lambda-based integrations), linking Bedrock to internal APIs, databases, and ticketing systems - hosted and version-controlled like any other service
• Deploy custom/fine-tuned models via Bedrock Custom Model Import or Provisioned Throughput, including the cost/commitment tradeoff analysis that comes with it
• Build cost/usage observability (per-model, per-developer spend and budget alerts) so spend doesn't scale silently

Requirements

• US Citizenship
• Active Secret Clearance with Security+ certification
• Overall 2+ years of experience
• Terraform - Bedrock resources (IAM, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails, VPC endpoints, Provisioned Throughput) as reusable, version-controlled modules
• Artifactory - manages and distributes versioned infrastructure artifacts for reproducibility across dev/test/prod
• Custom/fine-tuned model deployment - hands-on with Bedrock Custom Model Import (open-source model weights, size/format constraints) and Provisioned Throughput commitment planning
• Connector/integration hosting - builds and operates the actual services (Lambda, ECS, containers) exposing internal data sources to Bedrock agents - not just configuring existing ones
• Microsoft Word and Excel skills
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Desired Skills

• Reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) workflow experience on Bedrock
• Application Inference Profiles per-team cost attribution
• Multi-account AWS Organizations structure for dev/test/prod separation
• CI/CD pipeline integration for Terraform + Artifactory promotion workflows
• Cross-cloud IaC experience (Azure/GCP) supporting anti-lock-in posture
