An early-career to mid-level engineer with strong cloud, SaaS, systems, application, automation, or platform administration fundamentals who has practical exposure to modern AI services and wants to work hands-on across multiple enterprise AI platforms.

The AI Platform Engineer is a hands-on technical position responsible for configuring, administering, integrating, operating, and supporting enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms and related services. The position will initially work across OpenAI/ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini capabilities, with responsibilities expanding as additional AI platforms are adopted. The engineer helps turn AI products into reliable enterprise services by supporting access, integrations, automation, monitoring, documentation, security controls, governance requirements, and day-to-day technical operations.

• Configure platform settings, environments, tenants/work spaces, user and group access, permissions, roles, service controls, and approved feature availability.
• Assist with implementation of APIs, connectors, agents, automation, plugins/extensions, knowledge sources, and integrations between AI platforms and enterprise systems.
• Support identity and access requirements including role-based access, service identities, OAuth/OIDC or SAML-based integrations, and least-privilege access patterns as applicable.

• Participate in technical reviews and testing of new AI use cases, platform features, models, agents, and service changes before broader deployment.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, configuration records, support procedures, runbooks, knowledge articles, and operational standards.
