What you'll do on a typical day

Establish the enterprise DevOps operating model for GXO's Agentic AI Platform, including CI/CD standards, branching strategies, release governance, environment promotion, deployment approvals, and operational handoff practices. Design, build, and manage secure, repeatable CI/CD pipelines supporting AI platform infrastructure, platform services, agents, MCP servers, LiteLLM, Agent Gateway integrations, model-serving components, and supporting services. Engineer, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based platform capabilities on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), including deployment standards, Helm or Kustomize, autoscaling, network policies, workload identity, secrets management, ingress/egress, observability, and production runbooks. Own Terraform infrastructure delivery by developing reusable modules, managing state, enforcing pull request controls, implementing policy guardrails, maintaining environment parity, detecting configuration drift, and promoting infrastructure across development, test, staging, and production environments. Partner with the Principal Cloud Engineer to implement Google Cloud Platform foundations while leading day-to-day DevOps enablement, release engineering, Kubernetes operations, pipeline reliability, and developer experience. Collaborate with the Principal Cloud AI Platform Architect to translate enterprise architecture standards, reference architectures, and architectural decision records (ADRs) into automated build, test, deployment, and operational processes. Enable Phase 2 platform capabilities, including GKE-based open-source model serving, vLLM or comparable inference runtimes, scalable deployment patterns, model tiering infrastructure, and cost-governed platform operations. Implement enterprise DevSecOps controls in partnership with Information Security, including vulnerability scanning, dependency scanning, container image hardening, Binary Authorization (or equivalent), secrets management, audit logging, and secure deployment gates. Create standardized "paved road" developer workflows that enable engineers to provision environments, deploy AI agents, publish MCP services, test integrations, and promote code changes through approved automation. Champion AI-assisted software engineering practices by enabling secure AI coding tools, automated testing, documentation generation, code review acceleration, pipeline diagnostics, and developer productivity improvements. Build comprehensive observability across the platform through logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, SLOs, SLIs, deployment health monitoring, traceability, cost attribution, and operational readiness reporting. Automate operational processes to reduce manual effort, improve incident response readiness, and maintain runbooks for releases, rollbacks, break-glass procedures, platform operations, and escalation processes. Support secure integration between the AI platform and Snowflake-governed data access patterns through automated deployment, configuration, policy enforcement, and runtime observability. Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including CI/CD standards, Terraform module guidance, Kubernetes operating procedures, release checklists, onboarding documentation, and operational runbooks.
