• Develop and automate ETL workflows and data pipelines for analytics and AI workloads.
• Implement and support MLOps/AIOps and FinOps capabilities, including AI infrastructure and model deployment pipelines.
• Troubleshoot Linux-based systems, optimize platform performance, and enforce operational best practices.

• Hands-on expertise with AWS, Amazon EKS, Linux, and GitLab CI/CD.
• Strong experience with SQL, ETL automation, and building scalable data pipelines.

• Knowledge of container security, Kubernetes networking, and observability tools.
• Familiarity with monitoring platforms such as Datadog.
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks, vector databases, or enterprise LLM integrations.
• AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect Associate, DevOps Engineer, or Kubernetes-focused certifications).

The likely salary range for this position is $119,000 - $161,000. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possibly contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.
