Requirements
Requires 6-12+ years of platform/infrastructure engineering experience, with at least 2 years supporting AI/ML workloads. Must have deep cloud infrastructure expertise (IaC, Kubernetes, networking, IAM), experience building internal developer platforms/tooling, and familiarity with multi-tenant capacity planning, cost allocation, and platform-level security hardening. Cross-practice stakeholder management and cost/capacity planning literacy are also essential.
