SR AI Platform Engineer

Position Summary

Assent is building a governed platform that turns AI use cases into production-ready services usable by technical and non-technical builders alike. Youll build the self-serve builder experience at the heart of that platform: templated build options that let someone pick a knowledge base agent an internal connector or an Okta-gated web app and have the platform generate the scaffolding wire up the deployment pipeline and enforce security and cost patterns automatically without them touching Terraform CI/CD or a login flow themselves.

This is an infrastructure and platform engineering role with a product mindset: your customers are the other builders engineers and business champions alike who ship through what you build. Youll spend your time expanding the catalog of self-service build patterns automating the scaffolding behind each one and hardening the connector auth and cost-tracking primitives every pattern depends on.

Key Requirements & Responsibilities 

Responsibilities include:  

• Design build and expand the self-serve build patterns builders pick from a knowledge base agent an internal or external connector an Okta-gated web app a workflow automation each backed by automated scaffolding rather than a one-off manual build.

• Turn proven one-off deployment patterns into repeatable templated build options: automate the repo scaffolding CI/CD wiring and infrastructure provisioning behind each one so a builder can go from I want to build X to a working deployment without hand-rolling any of it.

• Own and evolve the core deployment pipeline underneath every pattern: containerized apps on AWS ECS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer with SSO enforced at the listener so no pattern and no builder has to implement their own login.

• Write and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) for compute networking and IAM kept strictly separate from application code so infra changes stay reviewable and auditable on their own.

• Design and harden connector and integration patterns including MCP-style server patterns so a builder can request a connection to an internal or vendor system and get one thats already scoped OAuth-secured and deny-by-default rather than building auth from scratch each time.

• Bake mandatory logging metering and cost-tracking into every pattern and every service the catalog provisions so cost visibility and governance are automatic rather than something each builder has to remember.

• Partner with cloud operations on anything account- or network-level (load balancer rules security groups IAM roles DNS container registries) and keep pattern development moving while that work is in flight.

• Review and harden what other builders ship against these patterns before it reaches production youre a checkpoint for security and reliability not just a pattern author.

Qualifications :

Your Knowledge Skills and Abilities

We strongly value your talent energy and passion. It will also be valuable to Assent if you have the following qualifications

Required

• 5 years of software engineering experience with meaningful hands-on time in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering not just consuming a platform someone else built.

• Strong experience with AWS container services (ECS/Fargate or equivalent) load balancers and IAM youve run production services not just deployed a demo.

• Production experience with Terraform or another mainstream IaC tool including keeping infrastructure and application code in cleanly separated repositories.

• Experience implementing SSO/OIDC at the infrastructure layer (Okta Auth0 or equivalent) so individual applications dont own their own auth.

• Strong Python scripting ability comfortable writing automation tooling and operational scripts and reviewing application code.

• Working knowledge of Docker image builds multi-stage builds and registry management as the packaging layer underneath ECS deployments.

• Experience with CloudWatch (or equivalent) for logging metrics and alerting since the role owns building metering and cost-tracking hooks into every service.

• Working knowledge of API integration patterns and OAuth scoping you understand the difference between declaring a security constraint and actually enforcing it at runtime.

• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where the pattern library is still being written not just followed.

Strong plusses

• AWS certification (Solutions Architect DevOps Engineer or equivalent) demonstrating depth beyond day-to-day tooling familiarity.

• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent-to-tool connectivity standards.

• Experience building or operating a cost-metering / FinOps layer for cloud services.

• Experience as a platform or DevOps engineer supporting other engineering teams you think in terms of paved roads and self-service not one-off builds.

• Exposure to LLM-powered or agentic systems even if your own hands-on work has been on the infrastructure side rather than the agent logic.
