## Description

DUTIES As a successful candidate for the Cloud Migration Architect role, you will serve as a technical lead directing the development of Content Delivery Network (CDN) infrastructure through advanced AI integration. In this position, you will guide an engineering team in leveraging large language models (LLMs) to generate and manage Terraform configurations. Your primary focus will be mastering AI prompt engineering and navigating behavioral nuances across models to establish robust quality-control processes for all AI-generated output. Ultimately, you will define interaction strategies, iteratively refine prompts, and collaborate closely with engineering management and stakeholders to ensure that all AI-driven infrastructure meets enterprise scalability and security standards.
