Description
- 5+ Years experience, Implement, maintain, and optimize AI Platform capabilities deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enabling product teams to build and deploy Generative AI applications and self-hosted models.
- Apply software and platform engineering best practices—including code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, GitOps, OTel telemetry, and documentation—to maintain reliable platform components and internal developer tooling.
- Collaborate directly with application, data science, and platform teams to collect feedback, troubleshoot integration issues, and implement cloud-native AI tools and observability standards.
- Stay current with advancements in AI infrastructure, GPU resource management, LLM serving engines, and cloud-native networking to continuously improve platform efficiency and developer experience.
- Build and integrate platform components, custom K8s resources, and telemetry pipelines using solid software design patterns within the broader GCP/GKE ecosystem.
- Contribute to team technical documentation, create reusable platform templates ("paved paths"), and assist other engineers in adopting platform standards.
- Execute on team technical roadmaps to improve platform reliability, lower operational overhead, and speed up delivery cycles for AI product features.
1. Skills and Experience Requirements1. AI Infrastructure & Generative AI Experience
- Self-Hosted LLM Serving: Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, and scaling self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) on GKE using inference engines such as vLLM, NVIDIA NIM, or SGLang. Basic understanding of Kubernetes GPU allocation, multi-GPU nodes, and model execution requirements.
- Cloud-Native AI Tools: Experience working with or integrating emerging cloud-native AI infrastructure tools and control planes such as Agentgateway or Kagent to support agentic workflows and request routing.
- AI Agent & LLM Observability (OpenTelemetry): Practical experience configuring OpenTelemetry (OTel) instrumentation and collectors for AI applications. Familiarity with OTel GenAI Semantic Conventions (gen_ai.*) to capture traces, metrics, token usage, and latency across agentic execution flows, tool calls, and model calls.
- GenAI Frameworks: Hands-on experience integrating with GenAI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, Google Agent Development Kit/ADK) and cloud services (e.g., Google Vertex AI, Google Agentspace, Gemini APIs).
- Production Deployment: Experience deploying and supporting production workload pipelines in Kubernetes with attention to latency, availability, and resource utilization.
2. Google Cloud & Cloud-Native Networking
- GKE & GCP Knowledge: Solid, practical experience deploying and managing workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google Compute Engine (GCE), and related GCP infrastructure.
- Service Mesh: Practical experience operating and troubleshooting Istio Ambient Mode (or sidecar-based Istio transitioning to Ambient) for mTLS, traffic routing, and service-to-service communication.
- Cloud-Native Tooling: Strong familiarity with container runtime environments, GPU device plugins/operators on Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry Collectors (OTLP), GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and standard security practices.
3. Engineering & Domain Standards
- Software Engineering Practices: Practical understanding of design patterns, unit/integration testing, clean code principles, and writing maintainable code.
- Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in Python or Go for writing automation, custom tooling, scripts, or operators.
- Teamwork & Communication: Strong collaboration skills with the ability to write clear documentation, work across team boundaries, and explain technical setup to fellow engineers.
