Lead AI OPS Engineer

Full-time

EPAM Systems, Inc.

Role Description

We are building a self-serve Enterprise AI Gateway that standardizes how every team uses large language models with strong governance. As a Lead AI OPS Engineer, you will design automation-first onboarding, controls, and observability for access, cost, and logging across the platform. Join a small, fast-moving team and apply now.

  • Design self-service onboarding for teams and agents, from initial request through to functional access
  • Automate key provisioning, rotation, and permission updates
  • Tune rate limits and quotas as adoption and usage increase
  • Deploy and configure models including Vertex AI endpoints, vendor fallbacks, and Model Armor
  • Operate MCP servers behind the gateway under the same governance rules as models
  • Develop Python extensions that integrate the gateway with other enterprise systems
  • Maintain the full platform as code using Terraform, Helm, and Jenkins
  • Monitor and protect production health across availability, latency, and cost with alerting
  • Assist teams using the platform and convert recurring questions into automation

Qualifications

  • Proven 5+ years of experience using Python for automation, extensions, and integrations
  • Solid 5+ years of SRE experience with a track record of keeping production systems reliable
  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes, preferably on GKE
  • Hands-on experience with Google Vertex AI, especially endpoints for model serving and Model Armor
  • Practical proficiency with Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD using Jenkins
  • Working knowledge of GenAI/Agentic AI concepts (patterns, frameworks, protocols)
  • Production exposure to an AI gateway (LiteLLM, EPAM DIAL or similar) is highly appreciated
  • Very strong communication skills with the ability to explain platform behavior clearly to teams who use it daily
  • English proficiency at B2 level (Upper-Intermediate) or higher

Requirements

  • Nice to have familiarity with GCP beyond GKE and Vertex AI, such as BigQuery, Cloud Run, and IAM
  • Experience building AI agents, for example using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK)
  • Experience with AWS Bedrock
