Enterprise AI Engineer I
We’re hiring an early‑career Enterprise AI Engineer I to support the design, deployment, and operation of our cloud‑based infrastructure and AI‑adjacent systems. You’ll work on well‑defined tasks within larger projects, help debug and automate infrastructure and services, and learn how we design for scale and reliability while being encouraged to ask questions and challenge the status quo.
What you’ll do
- Support the day‑to‑day operation of cloud and on‑prem infrastructure and services, following established runbooks and standards.
- Assist with implementing and validating engineering designs and changes in production environments.
- Debug and troubleshoot lower‑complexity systems and infrastructure issues, collecting data and escalating when needed.
- Write simple scripts and tools (e.g. in Python or PowerShell) to automate routine tasks and basic troubleshooting steps.
- Help maintain documentation, procedures and configuration for systems and services.
- Build a working understanding of company infrastructure, user requirements and AI/automation use cases, staying curious about new technologies and best practices.
Must‑have qualifications
- 0–2 years of experience in technical, IT, infrastructure, systems, or platform engineering (including internships or projects).
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in a relevant field; technical degree preferred.
- Experience contributing to the implementation and deployment of an engineering design into a production or pre‑production environment.
- Experience working as part of a team to build and support a product or project in public or hybrid cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Familiarity with one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and ability to understand basic programming concepts and control flow, and write and explain a simple function or script.
- Able to configure, operate, and automate cloud IaaS resources with guidance (e.g., compute, storage, networking, IAM).
- Understanding of lower‑complexity systems and how individual functions or components fit into a broader team project.
- Basic knowledge of operating systems, system testing tools, and system administration concepts.
- General AI literacy with exposure to LLMs and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), and understanding beyond simple prompting (e.g. basic model capabilities, limitations, and safe use).
- Familiarity with Agile software delivery practices and tools such as Jira (e.g., working with boards, tickets, and sprints).
- Clear, concise communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable following standard processes and procedures, collecting information to understand problems, researching known solutions, and implementing prescribed steps to resolution.
Nice‑to‑have
- Experience with infrastructure services and tooling (e.g. monitoring, logging, CI/CD, configuration management).
- Exposure to AI/ML or automation platforms (e.g. model serving, feature stores, workflow orchestration) as part of projects or coursework.
- Experience writing code to automate troubleshooting steps or common operational tasks.
- Understanding of system and technology integration concepts and how different services interact in a distributed environment.
- Experience performing routine systems administration tasks, reporting issues to more senior engineers, and clearly communicating work status.
- Demonstrated interest in emerging technology trends in cloud, AI and infrastructure, and a desire to build deeper expertise in a specific engineering area.
- Proven ability to collaborate with peers, ask thoughtful questions, and seek knowledge from subject matter experts when needed.
