AI DevOps Engineer
Summary
Founding platform/DevOps engineer at an enterprise AI company in Hyderabad, owning AI infrastructure end to end: GPU-based LLM model serving, MLOps pipelines, Kubernetes, IaC, observability, and cloud/FinOps across AWS/GCP/Azure, with a growth path to platform engineering leadership.
01 · THE OPPORTUNITY
A founding infrastructure
leadership role.
Anthrobyte builds enterprise AI
systems that move organisations from pilot to production-grade adoption. As we
scale, we need a platform engineer who can own the full infrastructure vision:
model serving, MLOps pipelines, GPU cluster management, observability, and
cloud architecture — all as one coherent, production-grade system.
This is less a traditional
DevOps role and more a founding platform seat. You will work directly with AI
engineers, product leadership, and enterprise clients to define how AI
transformation is deployed, scaled, and made reliable inside complex organisations.
You will be the person who makes AI products real.
HORIZON ONE · FOUNDING MANDATE AI DevOps Engineer Own the full platform layer
— AI infrastructure, MLOps pipelines, model serving, observability, and cloud
architecture — as one coherent, production-grade system. | GROWTH TRACK · MERIT-BASED Lead/Architect/Head of Platform Engineering Grow into engineering
leadership — shaping platform strategy, building and mentoring a DevOps team,
and defining how AI infrastructure scales with Anthrobyte's client portfolio. |
Requirements
— 02 · RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the platform. Power the
transformation.
Hyperscale
AI Infrastructure
– Design and operate AI infrastructure across
multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) supporting LLM inference,
fine-tuning, and RAG pipelines at production scale
– Architect GPU cluster management and optimise
inference throughput using vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT, or
equivalent serving frameworks
– Own infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi) —
reproducible, version-controlled, disaster-recovery-ready environments across
all deployments
– Drive multi-region, high-availability
architecture decisions that reflect the reliability standards enterprise
clients require
MLOps
& Model Lifecycle
– Build and maintain MLOps platforms — model
versioning, experiment tracking, automated retraining, and deployment pipelines
using MLflow, Kubeflow, or equivalent
– Implement CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions,
ArgoCD, Tekton) that support rapid model iteration without sacrificing
production stability
– Define promotion workflows from development to
staging to production — with rollback, canary, and blue-green strategies as
standard practice
Kubernetes
& Container Orchestration
– Lead container orchestration at scale —
Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS), Helm charts, service mesh configuration, and
auto-scaling strategies for variable AI workloads
– Configure GPU node pools, resource quotas,
taints and tolerations, and network policies for secure, efficient AI workload
scheduling
– Own production incident response — from
detection through resolution to post-mortem and systemic fix
Observability
& FinOps
– Own observability end-to-end: latency, GPU
utilisation, cost-per-inference, model drift detection, and SLO/SLA dashboards
(Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent)
– Lead FinOps strategy for GPU compute — spot
instance management, reserved capacity planning, cost attribution across teams
and client engagements
– Surface infrastructure cost and reliability data
to leadership and clients in clear, actionable terms
Security,
Governance & Compliance
– Enforce security and data governance standards
across AI deployments — access controls, audit logging, secret management, and
PII handling in inference pipelines
– Support enterprise client compliance
requirements — including data residency, model access controls, and audit trail
documentation
Cross-Functional
Partnership
– Translate AI engineer and product requirements
into platform specifications — and push back with alternatives when
requirements are unrealistic or unsafe
– Partner with client engineering teams during
enterprise AI deployments, acting as the technical infrastructure authority
✶ The Growth Pathway Demonstrate consistent
excellence as a platform engineering leader and the scope expands. You will
grow into Lead/Architect/Head of Platform Engineering — building and
mentoring a DevOps and MLOps team, shaping infrastructure strategy across
Anthrobyte's full client portfolio, and defining what production-grade
enterprise AI deployment looks like at scale. This is not a title — it is a
level of ownership that must be earned and continually re-earned. |
— 03 · WHO YOU ARE
The profile we are searching for.
You think across the full stack
— from YAML to architecture, from GPU cost to enterprise reliability SLAs. You
are the kind of engineer who has felt the weight of a production incident at
2am and built the systems that prevent the next one. You are as comfortable
presenting infrastructure trade-offs to a CTO as you are deep in a Terraform
module.
You
bring:
– 4–6 years in DevOps or platform engineering,
with at least 1–2 years specifically in AI or ML infrastructure
– Demonstrated hyperscale experience —
infrastructure supporting millions of daily requests, petabyte-scale data, or
multi-region distributed systems
– Deep Kubernetes expertise: GPU node pools,
resource quotas, network policies, and production incident ownership
– Hands-on production experience with at least one
major LLM serving stack (vLLM, Triton, TGI, Ray Serve, or BentoML)
– Strong Python and scripting capability — you
write automation, not just configuration
– Proficiency with IaC (Terraform preferred) and
GitOps workflows as standard practice
– Cloud practitioner depth in AWS, GCP, or Azure —
particularly compute, networking, and storage for AI workloads
– Clear communicator — able to translate
infrastructure complexity into language that resonates with engineers, product
leads, and enterprise clients alike
Bonus
signals:
GPU FinOps · Enterprise AI Governance · Open-Source Contributions
Edge /
On-Premise LLM Serving · AI Consultancy Experience · Regulated Industry Deployments
Multi-Cloud
Architecture · MLflow or Kubeflow Ownership · Startup 0→1 Environment
A rare kind of opportunity.
– Founding platform engineering ownership —
greenfield infrastructure built your way, with your architectural decisions
– Direct access to engineering and product
leadership from day one
– The mandate to build the platform function the
way it should be built — AI-native, observable, and enterprise-reliable
– Active involvement in enterprise AI deployment
engagements — real infrastructure challenges, real clients, real consequences
– Access to GPU compute resources, premium cloud
credits, and AI tooling subscriptions
– Competitive compensation benchmarked to senior
engineering market rates in Hyderabad
– A culture where great infrastructure work is
visible and celebrated — not invisible
