AI Platform Engineer

Cinteot Inc. is a small IT services company that specializes in cybersecurity, Big Data/databases, software development, systems testing, STIG Compliance training, closed-circuit television/security cameras and access controls, and construction/facilities.

We are a Woman-owned, SBA Certified 8(a), and HUBZone company.

Job Overview:

The AI Platform Engineer builds, hardens, and helps operate the enterprise GenAI/agentic platform that enables teams to safely develop and run AI agents at scale. This role owns the platform “foundations”—including LLM gateway & model routing, vector/knowledge base infrastructure, CI/CD and IaC automation, observability, and cost/usage management across use cases —so Dev teams can deliver agents quickly under consistent governance and controls. This role focuses on shared platform capabilities (as distinct from use-case AI engineering) and partners closely with CoE product/ops enablement and governance stakeholders to keep the platform scalable, compliant, and easy to onboard new agents and tools.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engineer and maintain the platform’s foundational capabilities: LLM gateway, model routing, shared compute/infrastructure, and platform governance controls.
• Onboard and support new platform capabilities and tools used by agents (e.g., adding/maintaining supported models and agent tooling standards).
• Provision and manage platform resources needed to scale agent development (e.g., provisioning Bedrock Knowledge Bases/vector-backed retrieval components where applicable).
• Build and maintain Terraform (or equivalent) IaC to create/update platform resources and dashboards; keep deployments repeatable across environments.
• Own and operate platform pipelines: executing Terraform + backend/frontend pipelines, troubleshooting failed deployments, and improving delivery reliability.
• Provide “platform support” for agent teams by diagnosing platform-related issues (e.g., deployment/update failures, agent creation problems, missing/incorrect results, conversation memory issues).
• Implement and maintain monitoring for performance/quality and agent behavior over time (including benchmark testing and evaluation monitoring such as “Bedrock Eval” where applicable).
• Own platform cost & usage management practices (budget signals, usage metrics, reporting, optimization recommendations).
• Collaborate with Security/Architecture/Governance partners to ensure platform controls align to enterprise policies and approved operating patterns (e.g., access controls, safe enablement of who can create what kinds of agents).

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating shared application or platform services in an enterprise environment.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and infrastructure provisioning.
• Working knowledge of modern AI/ML or GenAI platforms and cloud-based services.
• Strong understanding of operational reliability, monitoring, and support practices.
• Experience supporting AI, ML, or GenAI platforms in regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, insurance, financial services).
• Familiarity with agent-based architectures, LLM model integration, and AI platform patterns.
• Experience with cloud cost management, usage monitoring, or FinOps practices.
• Professional cloud or AI-related certifications (AWS, Azure, or equivalent).

Benefits:

• Flexible remote work environment.
• Comprehensive health benefits and wellness programs.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
