AI Platform Engineer: Deploy, CI/CD & Data Pipelines

Orange EV; Kansas City (KS); Hybrid; USD 130,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Orange EV is seeking an AI Platform Engineer to design and operate the environments where internal applications, dashboards, and AI agents run. You will own the data pipelines, CI/CD, and guardrails for AI-assisted development, enabling safe production deployments.

You are the first platform engineer on the team, setting standards for future builds and collaborating with IT on identity, security, and infrastructure. A strong Azure, data, and coding background is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or equivalent working experience.
• Minimum 5+ years in platform, DevOps, data, or infrastructure engineering.
• Hands-on Azure experience across identity, networking, and application hosting.
• Production CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.
• Strong SQL, plus Python or PowerShell for automation.
• Experience building and operating data pipelines that other people depend on.
• Practical experience running AI coding agents inside a controlled workflow, with a point of view on what they may and may not do unsupervised.
• Able to write a standard clearly enough that another engineer follows it without a meeting.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate the environments where internally built applications, dashboards, and AI agents run: hosting, networking, identity, secrets, and monitoring.
• Build and maintain the data pipelines between Microsoft Fabric and our systems of record (ERP, CRM, telematics, and others), including refresh cadence, lineage, and named ownership.
• Own CI/CD for internally built software: repositories, review gates, automated tests, environments, and promotion to production.
• Define and enforce the guardrails for AI-assisted development: what an agent may generate, what a person must review, what may reach production, and how we know it worked.
• Implement access control: single sign‑on, role‑based access, secrets management, read‑only service accounts, and the audit trail behind them.
• Run the toolchain the team builds with, including coding agents such as Claude Code, evaluation harnesses, and shared libraries.
• Turn one‑off deployments into repeatable patterns: templates, infrastructure as code, and a paved road that a full‑stack engineer or analyst can follow without you in the room.
• Monitor cost, performance, and reliability of deployed workloads, and report on all three.
• Partner with IT on network, identity, and endpoint decisions rather than working around them.
