You'll start with a foot in both worlds - keeping our Azure cloud and Odyssey ERP platform running smoothly - while taking on a growing share of the AI work that's reshaping how our product and our team operate. The AI side is where this role is heading. You'll help build LLM-powered features into Odyssey itself, develop internal AI tools and agents that automate work across the company, and dig into prompt engineering as we figure out what these systems can really do. A lot of this is greenfield - you'll have real ownership over what gets built and how. The infrastructure side keeps the lights on. You'll support and maintain our Azure environment, build monitoring tools and utilities, and handle the configuration and administration of our cloud servers, networks, and core systems. Expect to write code - modern application and database work is part of the job, not separate from it. You'll work directly with people across B&L, our customers, and our vendors, so you should be comfortable talking to humans as well as machines. Systems Engineers also rotate through after-hours on-call to keep the cloud and office infrastructure healthy. Why this role is worth a look You don't need to already be an AI engineer - you need to want to become one. We'll give you real projects, real autonomy, and a clear path from "Systems Engineer who does some AI work" to "AI-focused engineer who knows the infrastructure cold." That combination is rarer than it sounds, and it's a strong place to build from. What you'll be doing * Help architect, configure, and optimize our internal and Azure-based cloud network infrastructure - balancing performance, availability, and cost * Design and code internal tools, utilities, and monitoring systems that keep our cloud environment healthy * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying Odyssey ERP * Manage and tune our internal and external databases, including regular maintenance and performance reviews * Perform preventative maintenance across internal and external networks * Evaluate new hardware, software, and communications tools for compatibility and fit * Maintain clear, current technical documentation * Help train teammates and level up the technical skills across B&L * Partner with the technology team lead on systems standards, project planning, and long-term strategy * Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule to support the B&L Cloud and core office infrastructure ## Related Videos - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Best practices: Building Enterprise Applications that leverage GenAI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1513-best-practices-building-enterprise-applications-that-leverage-genai) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [JavaScript?
