Job description

JOB DESCRIPTION

Req ID: 343726 

We are currently seeking a GCP Infrastructure engineer to join our team in Chennai, Tamil Nādu (IN-TN), India (IN).

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled GCP Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and manage the cloud infrastructure that powers Generative AI (GenAI) applications at scale.

In this role, you will leverage Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Vertex AI, IBM Watsonx, and containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes (GKE) to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performance AI solutions.

You will own the end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle — from design and provisioning to automation, monitoring, and optimization — while enabling data scientists and ML engineers to seamlessly deploy and operate GenAI workloads.

Key Responsibilities:

Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering

  • Design, provision, and maintain scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure for GenAI applications on GCP.
  • Deploy and manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
  • Configure and optimize Vertex AI and IBM Watsonx platforms for training, fine-tuning, and serving LLMs and other generative models.
  • Implement high-performance GPU/TPU clusters to support distributed training and large-scale inference.
  • Ensure business continuity through backup, disaster recovery, and multi-region deployments.
  • Automation & Reliability

  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates with Terraform, or Cloud Deployment Manager.
  • Adopt GitOps practices (Flux) for infrastructure lifecycle management.
  • Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for data pipelines, model workflows, and GenAI applications.
  • Apply SRE principles (SLIs, SLOs, SLAs) to guarantee platform reliability and uptime.
  • Security, Governance & Compliance

  • Embed DevSecOps best practices across the infrastructure lifecycle, including policy-as-code, vulnerability scanning, and secrets management.
  • Enforce identity and access management (IAM), network segmentation, and data encryption in compliance with standards (HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, FedRAMP).
  • Collaborate with enterprise security and compliance teams to implement governance frameworks for GenAI platforms.
  • Monitoring, Observability & Cost Optimization

  • Implement observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Monitoring, Datadog) for both infra health and ML-specific metrics (model drift, data anomalies).
  • Define KPIs to monitor system health, performance, and adoption across AI workloads.
  • Optimize cloud cost efficiency for GPU/TPU-intensive workloads using autoscaling, preemptible instances, and utilization monitoring.
  • Collaboration & Enablement

  • Partner with data scientists, ML engineers, and software teams to streamline GenAI application development and deployment.
  • Provide onboarding, documentation, and reusable templates to enable faster adoption of AI infrastructure.
  • Stay current with the latest advancements in GenAI, cloud-native infrastructure, and container orchestration.
  • Required Education

    Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

    Required Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering.
  • Experience with GenAI use cases (chatbots, content generation, code assistants, etc.).
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), especially Vertex AI.
  • Experience with IBM Watsonx for AI application deployment and management.
  • Proven skills in Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), and container orchestration at scale.
  • Proficiency in Python, Bash, or other relevant scripting languages.
  • Strong understanding of cloud networking, IAM, and security best practices.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and IaC tools (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, Deployment Manager).
  • Familiarity with data pipelines and integration tools (Dataflow, Apache Beam, Pub/Sub, Kafka).
  • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Experience in MLOps practices for model deployment, monitoring, and retraining.
  • Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure, on-prem).
  • Hands-on experience with feature stores (Vertex AI Feature Store, Feast) and ML observability tools (EvidentlyAI, Fiddler).
  • Knowledge of distributed training frameworks (Horovod, DeepSpeed, PyTorch Distributed).
  • Contributions to open-source projects in infrastructure, MLOps, or GenAI.
  • Experience managing infrastructure in regulated industries.
  • Preferred Certifications:

  • Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Architect
  • Google Cloud Certified - Machine Learning Engineer
  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
  • IBM Certified Watsonx Generative AI Engineer – Associate
  • IBM Certified Solution Architect - Cloud Pak for Data
  • Other relevant certifications in AI, Machine Learning, or Cloud-Native technologies.
