direct experience with AI/LLM gateway patterns (rate limiting, semantic caching, prompt/response observability) is a strong plus. * Strong Kubernetes and GitOps experience (ArgoCD or comparable), and comfort operating across multiple environments (dev, gov, prod). * Solid CI/CD background: Jenkins pipeline design and administration, build infrastructure, and runner/agent fleet management (GitHub Actions runners or equivalent). * Experience with artifact and package management systems (Artifactory, Xray, or similar) and source control platform administration (GitHub Enterprise). * Working knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and cloud platforms (AWS/EKS). * Experience deploying and operating self-hosted LLM inference stacks (vLLM, NVIDIA Triton/NIM, TGI, Ollama, or similar) and GPU-backed infrastructure, including Kubernetes GPU scheduling and autoscaling. * Familiarity with LLMOps practices: model versioning, evaluation harnesses, and usage/cost observability across API-based and self-hosted models. * Track record of setting technical direction, driving cross-team initiatives, and mentoring other engineers; this role has significant scope and minimal day-to-day oversight. * Clear, proactive communicator who can explain infrastructure trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. * Experience operating LLM/AI-assisted developer tooling at scale (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) inside an enterprise is preferred. * Familiarity with Okta/OIDC and enterprise auth patterns for internal platforms is preferred. * Experience with engineering productivity metrics tooling (LinearB or similar) and AI-based code review tooling (Qodo or similar) is preferred. * Experience with vector databases and RAG pipelines (e.g. Milvus, Pinecone, pgvector, or similar) in a production setting is preferred. * Exposure to model fine-tuning or lightweight training pipelines (LoRA/QLoRA or similar) for domain-specific model adaptation is preferred. ## Description * Work on the AI Gateway platform: architect, harden, and scale our Kong AI Gateway deployment (Konnect Hybrid on KCP/EKS), including auth (Okta/OIDC), consumer tiers and budgets, rate limiting, semantic caching, and observability. * Lead reliability and incident response: drive root-cause analysis and remediation for gateway issues (timeouts, latency, capacity, failover) and build the monitoring/alerting needed to catch them before users do. * Design across the platform, not just the gateway: work fluently with our CI/CD (Jenkins, JPAAS), GitOps and Kubernetes deployment tooling (ArgoCD across dev/gov/prod), artifact management (Artifactory/Xray), GitHub Enterprise administration, and GitHub Actions runner fleet, so that AI infrastructure decisions account for how the rest of the platform actually works. * Evaluate and roll out AI developer tooling: run structured pilots and adoption efforts for tools like AI-assisted PR review (Qodo) and engineering metrics platforms (LinearB), and make clear build-vs-buy recommendations. * Set technical direction and mentor: define architecture and standards for AI infrastructure, review designs across the team, and raise the bar for other engineers working in this space. * Partner cross-functionally: work directly with security, DevEx, and product engineering teams consuming the gateway to translate their needs into platform capabilities. * Host and serve local models: stand up and operate self-hosted/open-weight model serving infrastructure (e.g. vLLM, NVIDIA Triton/NIM, TGI, Ollama) for workloads where routing to an external provider isn''t the right fit, including GPU capacity planning, autoscaling, and cost/performance tuning. * Support the broader model lifecycle: help build LLMOps practices such as model versioning, evaluation, and safe rollout, plus supporting infrastructure for retrieval-augmented generation (vector stores, embedding pipelines) as use cases mature. * Track usage and cost: build observability into token usage, latency, and spend across both API-based and self-hosted models so the business can see what AI infrastructure actually costs.
