AI Platform & Solutions Engineer

The DevOps / Platform Engineer builds and maintains the technical infrastructure that enables AGS's entire AI and data program to run reliably in production. This is a hands‑on individual contributor role responsible for cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and the agentic AI deployment platform — including standing up the Microsoft Fabric data foundation and Azure AI Foundry agent runtime that the rest of the transformation program depends on. The DevOps Engineer is a prerequisite for the AI program: without reliable infrastructure, no agent, model, or migrated dataset can reach production. Responsibilities Provision and manage the agentic AI platform infrastructure — Azure AI Foundry as the primary agent hosting/runtime environment, Azure AI Search for vector and keyword retrieval, container-based agent deployment, and Azure ML model serving endpoints Build the Microsoft Fabric data foundation — support OneLake, Lakehouse/Warehouse, and medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture setup, including wave-based migration of on‑prem, Salesforce, and AWS‑hosted interactive data into Fabric Container orchestration — manage Docker containers, Kubernetes or Azure Container Apps, Azure Container Registry, Helm charts, and health monitoring for all deployed services Implement monitoring and observability — deploy Datadog, Azure Monitor, and Azure ML model monitoring/App Insights for infrastructure health, application performance, AI model latency and drift, and cost tracking Implement security and governance controls at the infrastructure level — secrets management (Azure Key Vault), Entra ID (RBAC, managed identities, SSO), network segmentation and private endpoints (VPN/ExpressRoute), and data lineage/governance via Purview Support game build pipelines — understand and support the Unity game build process including certification compliance checkpoints and regulatory requirements Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for game software, AI models/agents, and business applications (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps) — automated build, test, and deployment without manual intervention Create developer‑friendly infrastructure — reduce friction for game developers, AI engineers, and data engineers so they can ship without infrastructure blockers Skills/Requirements 5–8 years of DevOps or platform engineering experience , with demonstrated ownership of cloud infrastructure at a company of comparable technical complexity Azure expertise (required) — deep hands‑on experience with Azure, AGS's target cloud platform for Fabric and Foundry; AWS familiarity is a plus, since some interactive data currently sits in AWS Infrastructure as code proficiency — Terraform, Bicep, or Pulumi for reproducible, auditable cloud environments Container and orchestration experience — Docker, Kubernetes, or Azure Container Apps; Helm chart management; experience scaling containerized workloads AI/ML infrastructure experience — has deployed LLM‑based applications or ML models to production; experience with vector search (Azure AI Search, Pinecone, or pgvector), model serving APIs, and LLM cost management CI/CD pipeline expertise — GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins; has built pipelines for polyglot environments (multiple programming languages and frameworks) Security fundamentals — experience implementing secrets management, network security groups, and cloud IAM (Entra ID or equivalent) integration Strong scripting skills — Python and Bash for automation; PowerShell for Windows/Azure environments Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience Preferred Experience with Microsoft Fabric (OneLake, Data Factory, Fabric Notebooks) or similar unified analytics platforms Experience supporting MLOps infrastructure (Azure ML, MLflow) for model training, registry, and deployment Experience with gaming software build pipelines including certification requirements Familiarity with Unity game engine build and deployment processes Experience with remote device management for distributed hardware fleets Note: All offers are contingent upon successful completion of a background check *Posted positions are not open to third party recruiters and unsolicited resume submissions will be considered free referrals. #J-18808-Ljbffr AGS - American Gaming Systems
