AI – Infrastructure as Code – Platform Engineer
Location: Hybrid in Austin, TX (3 days onsite weekly)
Industry: AI Infrastructure & Developer Platform Engineering
Seniority Level: Senior-Level Individual Contributor
Employment Type: Full-Time
Become part of a worldwide technology leader driving the evolution of artificial intelligence. This key position supports the alignment of emerging technologies with scalable systems, helping teams build and operate advanced solutions efficiently and effectively. If you're passionate about creating developer-centric solutions and shaping the future of AI adoption across complex engineering environments, this role offers you both purpose and ownership.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect and evolve the systems and workflows that govern responsible, scalable AI adoption across the engineering org, including reusable components and security-first frameworks.
- Deliver self-service infrastructure, templates, and scalable tooling that empower internal developers to build AI-enabled apps rapidly and securely.
- Drive collaborative efforts across teams to enhance development speed, standardize practices, and streamline the adoption of new technologies at scale.
- Develop core platform components and shared services to enable safe, repeatable deployment of AI models and workflows across environments.
- Establish high-quality coding and design standards within the platform space. Mentor peers and advocate for scalable, testable infrastructure design practices.
- Own internal platform capabilities with a product mindset—collecting feedback, analyzing adoption, and iterating continuously for usability and performance.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- 5 years of hands-on software development experience, ideally in backend, infrastructure, or full-stack roles.
- Strong fluency in system design, deployment patterns, and infrastructure-as-code methodologies.
- Experienced in Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and modern cloud environments.
- Deep understanding of software engineering principles, including code modularity, maintainability, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Comfortable influencing technical direction without formal authority.
- Bonus points for experience in AI/ML applications, LLM orchestration, or tools like Temporal.io.
- Language-agnostic, but exposure to Python or Golang is advantageous.
What Makes This Role Stand Out:
- Work alongside executive leadership crafting a first-of-its-kind AI developer enablement platform.
- Shape the way AI is engineered and operationalized across a multi-billion-dollar enterprise ecosystem.
- Act as a catalyst for meaningful change, taking ownership of strategic initiatives rather than simply executing requests.
- Relocation support available for candidates looking to join the innovation hub of Austin, TX.
- Full visa sponsorship available (H-1B preferred).
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunities
- Comprehensive healthcare: medical, dental, vision
- 401(k) with company match
- Wellness and mental health programs
- Paid parental leave and generous PTO
- Tuition reimbursement and professional development incentives
- Pet insurance and other voluntary benefits
- Inclusive culture with strong internal mentorship and leadership visibility
