## Description

As a Senior AI Infrastructure Automation & Operations Engineer, you will be responsible for defining the AI-focused future of how infrastructure automation is designed, built, and operated reliably. You will work with software engineering, security, and IT operations teams to set technical direction, evolve our infrastructure automation strategy, and reduce toil while improving reliability.

You will:

 * Help define new working methods for how AI impacts every aspect of what we do - how we structure the organization, drive team productivity, track our work, and more
 * Leveraging state-of-the-art AI toolsets, design, implement, and maintain robust automation solutions using Python, Ansible, and related tooling
 * Lead efforts to standardize and scale Infrastructure as Code (IaC) across environments; own the automation lifecycle for provisioning, configuration, patching, and decommissioning of infrastructure
 * Build and improve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and operations workflows; diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure and automation issues across development and production systems
 * Establish best practices for reliability, observability, backup, and disaster recovery; leverage AI coding assistants, agents, and modern IDEs to improve developer productivity, quality, and velocity; review code and automation changes; mentor junior engineers; contribute to a culture of continuous improvement; and participate in on-call rotations and incident response as a senior escalation point
