Senior Platform Engineer - AI

GFiber is currently at a transformative crossroads. As we ramp up investments in AI-driven product features, the Platform Engineering team is the engine room for this evolution. We are modernizing our foundational systems to support a new generation of AI initiatives, focusing on:

• Agentic Platforms : Building the frameworks for autonomous AI agents.
• AI Observability & Security : Implementing guardrails and monitoring specifically for LLMs.
• AI-Centric DevOps : Developing specialized CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks tailored for AI Agents and machine learning workflows.

We are seeking a Senior AI Platform Engineer to lead the charge in designing and deploying our next-generation agentic systems and LLM-powered platforms. In this high-impact role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI Architecture and scalable Cloud Infrastructure. You'll be architecting the entire ecosystem-utilizing advanced prompt engineering, LLM stack and DevOps practices to build AI Platform and optimize GFiber's enterprise workflows. You will be a champion for engineering excellence, driving automation strategies and sophisticated infrastructure standards across our entire product suite.

In this role, you'll:

• Architect and build the Internal AI Developer Platform (IDP), abstracting complex GCP AI services (Vertex AI, Agent Engine, Model Garden) into self-service, "paved-path" APIs, SDKs, or Terraform modules that product engineering teams can easily consume without needing deep AI infrastructure expertise
• Design and Build enterprise Model Gateways. Must have experience building unified routing layers that manage rate-limiting, load balancing, failovers, and unified telemetry, allowing the platform team to swap underlying models seamlessly without breaking downstream product applications.
• Build and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines grounded in internal client policies and technical documentation.
• MLOps & Deployment: Oversee the deployment of microservices using GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine), Cloud SQL, and Cloud Build, ensuring scalable and reliable AI performance.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 8 years of experience in setting up SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, automation, troubleshooting, launching and supporting enterprise applications as an individual contributor and in a Lead capacity.
• 5 years of experience as senior platform engineer, with recent years dedicated to architecting and scaling enterprise AI infrastructure. Demonstrated expertise in building multi-agent systems, workflow automation, and implementing emerging integration frameworks (such as A2A and MCP).
• 5 years of hands-on experience with public cloud and Infrastructure as Code (IAC).
• Experience with Python, Java and GCP infrastructure tools (GKE, CloudRun, CloudFunctions, GCS, etc) and experience with cloud infrastructure management and automation technologies (Terraform, Ansible etc)

It's preferred if you have:

• Experience optimizing applications, both stand-alone and in distributed systems to maximize performance
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Experience with multi-cloud environments and other cloud providers (AWS, Azure, etc.)
• Problem-solving and analytical skills
• Communication and teamwork skills

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $156,800 - $229,700 + bonus + cash award + benefits. As pay varies by location, your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
