Position Title: Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer (AI/ML Focus) Category: Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Seniority: Senior

Location: LATAM (Remote)

What you will be doing: We are looking for a Senior DevOps/Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers our AI and machine learning solutions. Sitting at the intersection of infrastructure engineering and applied AI, you will work closely with AI engineers, data scientists, and product teams to ensure our infrastructure is scalable, secure, and optimized for AI workloads. This position requires a strong cloud infrastructure background alongside practical experience building and operating AI/ML systems beyond consuming AI tools.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure, primarily on AWS.

• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines to support fast, reliable deployments across all environments.

• Provision and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).

• Support infrastructure needs specific to AI/ML workloads, including GPU resources, model training pipelines, and inference environments.

• Collaborate with AI/ML engineers on the infrastructure required to train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models.

• Implement observability practices (logging, monitoring, alerting) across services and pipelines.

• Own security and compliance practices for cloud resources, including secrets management, IAM policies, and network configuration.

• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and deployment issues across production and non-production environments.

• Continuously evaluate and improve infrastructure reliability, cost efficiency, and performance.

• Document architecture decisions, runbooks, and operational procedures.

 

Required Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or a closely related field.

• Proven hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (AWS strongly preferred).

• 2+ years of experience working with AI or machine learning tools and systems on the development side (building, training, deploying, or operating ML models/AI pipelines).

• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or similar).

• Solid background in containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, or similar).

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).

• Strong understanding of networking, security, and identity management in cloud environments.

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (CloudWatch, Grafana, Datadog, Prometheus, or similar).

• Comfortable working in Linux environments and scripting in Python, Bash, or similar languages.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, data science, and product teams.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience with MLOps practices and tools (MLflow, SageMaker, Kubeflow, or similar).

• Familiarity with vector databases, model serving frameworks, or LLM infrastructure.

• Experience with serverless architectures (Lambda, Fargate).

• Background supporting data pipelines or data engineering workflows.

• Relevant certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, or similar).
