• Support deployment, configuration, and operational management of AI and ML platforms and supporting infrastructure in cloud environments.

• Automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management for AI‑enabled infrastructure and services.

• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to enable secure, scalable, and compliant environments for AI workloads, without requiring hands‑on AI application or model development.

• Ensure cloud environments and deployment processes align with security and compliance requirements, including regulated frameworks such as FedRAMP or similar.

• Monitor system health, availability, and performance, and proactively resolve operational issues.

• Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and standard operating procedures.

• Strong hands‑on experience with automation and scripting using Ansible and Python.

• Experience deploying, configuring, and supporting applications in cloud environments.

• Experience supporting AI and ML platform deployments and configuration management, focused on infrastructure, automation, and operations rather than application or model development.

• Strong understanding of infrastructure automation, configuration management, release engineering, and platform operations.
