Responsibilities
- Build, deploy, extend, and operate internal AI chat, agent, retrieval, and developer-workflow systems.
- Develop GitLab-integrated agents that create merge requests, respond to reviews, and iterate through existing engineering workflows.
- Design secure sandboxes and isolated environments for agent code execution, repository access, tools, and hardware-in-the-loop use cases.
- Own the AI gateway layer, including model routing, credential management, access policy, telemetry, and cost attribution.
- Operate the AI stack through monitoring, upgrades, incident response, and continuous improvement.
- Partner with security and compliance stakeholders to implement CUI handling, data residency, provider selection, audit logging, and other boundary requirements.
- Produce architecture, data-flow diagrams, and logging evidence supporting compliance documentation.
- Evaluate applied-AI tooling, define the roadmap, and communicate technical opportunities and limitations to leadership.
Requirements
- Several years of experience building, shipping, and operating production software.
- Fluency in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, plus Terraform.
- Experience with API design, testing, code review, and production service ownership.
- Hands-on experience building LLM-powered systems involving retrieval pipelines, tool use or MCP, agent orchestration, prompt and context management, and evaluation.
- Experience deploying, extending, and integrating open-source applications such as chat frontends, gateways, or developer tools.
- Experience with Git-hosting APIs, webhooks, and CI/CD integrations for developer workflows.
- Cloud and Kubernetes engineering experience with technologies such as containers, Helm, Terraform, GKE, and IAM.
- Understanding of sandboxing, isolation, network policy, and least-privilege credentials for safely running model-generated code.
- Ability to elicit requirements from security stakeholders and design systems that are observable and auditable in regulated environments.
- Clear technical and executive written communication and the autonomy to define and validate a roadmap.
- Preferred: experience in CMMC, DoD Impact Level, FedRAMP, or NIST 800-171 environments.
- Preferred: self-hosted inference with vLLM, TGI, or similar systems, including GPU provisioning and open-weight model deployment.
- Preferred: experience with LLM gateway or proxy layers such as LiteLLM and per-team cost attribution.
- Preferred: hardware-in-the-loop, lab automation, device access control, DLP, GCP services, Bazel or other hermetic build systems, and observability stacks.
