  • Architect and manage CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and continuous delivery of AI models, agents, and applications.
  • Implement and manage containerization and orchestration solutions using Docker and Kubernetes, and build and maintain control-plane guardrails — identity, policy enforcement, approvals, audit/logging, and observability.
  • Ensure efficient AI model and agent lifecycle management, including versioning, monitoring, and scaling.
  • Collaborate with AI/ML engineers and data scientists to streamline deployment processes and optimize resource utilization.
  • Oversee system performance, security, and scalability of AI infrastructure, and support security accreditation (RMF/ATO) of AI systems.
  • Continuously research and implement new DevOps tools and practices to enhance efficiency.
