Infrastructure and DevOps Architect

Job Details:

Job Description:

The world is transforming - and so is Intel. Intel is a company of bold and curious inventors and problem solvers who create some of the most astounding technology advancements and experiences in the world. With a legacy of relentless innovation and a commitment to bring smart, connected devices to every person on Earth, our diverse and brilliant teams are continually searching for tomorrow's technology and revel in the challenge that changing the world for the better brings. We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Come join us and do something wonderful.

We are seeking an Infrastructure and DevOps Architect to design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable infrastructure and deployment pipelines that underpin our suite of data science and decision support applications. This role sits at the intersection of software development, security, and cloud operations - owning the reliability, security posture, and delivery velocity of our platform.
A strong security mindset is essential, as the team is actively preparing to handle data of increasing sensitivity, making the establishment and enforcement of secure infrastructure practices a foundational expectation of this role. Cross-functional communication is equally critical: this person must be able to translate infrastructure and security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders across development, data science, and security disciplines.

About the Team
We're a team of data scientists and application developers who work in tandem to develop self-service decision support tools. We support applications essential to the strategic design and tactical execution of semiconductor manufacturing. We are a vibrant and innovative team with a strong customer focus and proven value which drives significant impact to Intel. We also maintain a strong technical presence in prestigious internal platforms and publications, as well as external publications.
As we grow, we are investing in the infrastructure and security foundations that will allow our applications and data capabilities to scale responsibly - and this role is central to that investment.
