Core Focus Areas

• AI-driven infrastructure and operations automation

• Agent-based systems for network operations cloud and service operations

• Deep integration with enterprise platforms (cloud ITSM network observability)

• Advanced AI tooling and AI-assisted development

• Scalable monitored and governed AI systems

Key Responsibilities

AI Infrastructure & Agent Development

• Architect build and operate AI agents that monitor manage and remediate:

  • Network and infrastructure operations

  • Cloud platforms and cost/usage optimization

  • Service management (incident problem change request)

  • Platform health availability and performance

• Design event-driven and agentic architectures that integrate AI agents directly into operational workflows and tooling.

• Lead development of AI copilots and autonomous systems embedded in infrastructure and operations platforms.

Advanced Tooling & Platforms

• Drive adoption and production use of cutting-edge AI and development platforms including:

  • Microsoft Foundry and Azure-native AI tooling

  • Codex-style AI-assisted development and automation

  • Claude Code and other advanced agent-oriented coding systems

• Continuously evaluate emerging tools frameworks and orchestration patterns for applied enterprise AI.

Infrastructure & Platform Integration

• Lead deep integrations between AI services and:

  • Cloud platforms (Azure-first multi-cloud where required)

  • Network management and monitoring systems

  • IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms

  • Observability logging and telemetry platforms

• Ensure AI solutions are designed for production resiliency auditability and enterprise operability.

• Partner closely with infrastructure cloud network security and service management teams.

Engineering Leadership

• Lead and scale multiple development teams (AI engineers platform engineers automation engineers).

• Set engineering standards for:

  • Agent development and lifecycle management

  • CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code

  • Secure-by-design AI services

  • Observability and runtime monitoring of AI systems

• Stay hands-on with architecture critical design decisions and complex implementations.

AI Operations Governance & Reliability

• Establish standards for:

  • AI runtime monitoring drift detection and performance tracking

  • Secure prompt model and data handling

  • Responsible AI usage within operational systems

• Ensure AI-enabled infrastructure solutions meet enterprise requirements for:

  • Security compliance and resilience

  • Change management and auditability

  • Hybrid and multi-cloud support

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or equivalent experience.

• 8 years of deep technical engineering experience with proven hands-on team leadership.

• Strong background in infrastructure platform engineering or SRE not just application development.

• Demonstrated experience building and operating automation or AI-driven operational systems.

• Deep familiarity with:

  • Cloud platforms (Azure preferred)

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform ARM/Bicep etc.)

  • Containers and platforms (Kubernetes Docker)

  • CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms

• Practical experience with LLMs agents or automation frameworks including:

  • LLM integration and orchestration

  • Agent-based workflows

  • Retrieval and context systems

• Proven ability to lead teams building production-grade systems not experiments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using advanced AI developer tools (Foundry-style platforms AI-driven coding agents).

• Experience integrating AI into:

  • Network operations

  • Cloud governance

  • IT Service Management platforms

• Background in high-velocity environments.

• Masters degree or advanced certifications in cloud AI or infrastructure engineering.

What Success Looks Like

• AI agents actively handling and assisting real infrastructure and service operations use cases.

• Reduced operational toil through automation and intelligent remediation.

• Engineers using AI tools as a natural extension of the development and operations lifecycle.

• A scalable secure and observable AI-powered operations platform trusted by Enterprise Technology & Operations.
