Required Experience & Skills

AI & Cloud Platforms

Hands-on experience administering enterprise AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or comparable tools), including API management, access controls, and environment configuration

Familiarity with LLM application infrastructure: prompt pipelines, Model Context Protocol (MCP), other tool-calling integration frameworks, vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns, and embedding workflows

Experience working with Databricks or comparable data/ML platforms is a strong plus

Integration & Development

Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript for scripting, automation, and lightweight integration work

Experience building and maintaining REST API integrations, including authentication patterns, webhook handling, and error management

Comfort reading and working within existing codebases without requiring significant architectural guidance

Familiarity with version control (Git) and standard deployment practices for scripts and integrations

Systems Administration & Monitoring

Experience monitoring distributed systems or SaaS platforms, including setting up alerting, reviewing logs, and diagnosing performance or availability issues

Familiarity with usage/cost monitoring for cloud or API-based services

Comfort operating in live production environments where reliability and data integrity are critical

Security & Compliance

Working knowledge of information security principles as they apply to SaaS and API-based systems: access controls, credential management, data handling, and audit logging

Ability to engage constructively with InfoSec teams, providing clear technical context to support reviews and risk assessments

Collaboration & Communication

Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues and program staff

Experience contributing to cross-functional teams alongside product, engineering, and operations stakeholders
