AI DevOps Engineer

Location: Angeles City, Pampanga Work Set Up: Onsite Job Overview: The AI / DevOps Engineer is responsible for building, deploying, and operating AI-powered software and the infrastructure that runs it. The role combines hands-on software development with DevOps and platform engineering, with a strong focus on Large Language Model (LLM) applications, agentic systems, and workflow automation.The individual in this role designs and develops AI-enabled applications and automations, integrates LLM APIs and self-hosted models, and builds the pipelines, infrastructure, and observability needed to ship and run these systems reliably across cloud, on-premise, private cloud, and GPU environments.This position bridges development and operations across the full lifecycle, from requirements and system design through CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, security, and post-production support, while continuously evaluating emerging AI tools and practices to improve efficiency and quality.Continuous learning is essential, as the AI / DevOps Engineer must stay current with a fast-moving AI and infrastructure landscape, including new models, agentic coding tools, orchestration frameworks, and automation techniques. Responsibilities AI & LLM Application Development Design, develop, and maintain AI-powered applications and services that integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) and other machine learning models into business workflowsIntegrate LLM APIs (such as Anthropic Claude and other providers) as well as self-hosted and open-source models running on private GPU infrastructure Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search to ground model outputs in enterprise dataDesign and implement agentic systems and tool-use workflows, including integrations through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and connections to internal and third-party servicesApply prompt engineering, evaluation, and guardrail techniques to improve accuracy, safety, reliability, and cost-efficiency of AI featuresWrite clean, efficient, reusable, and well-tested code following established standards and secure coding practices.Software Development & Integration Design and develop scalable, secure backend services, APIs, and integrations that support AI and automation use casesPerform application and data integration with internal and external systems using RESTful APIs, web services, webhooks, and message queuesTranslate business requirements into functional and technical specifications, and participate in architecture and design discussionsEnsure solutions are compatible across multiple platforms and environments, including cloud, on-premise, and private cloud deployments.Workflow & Process Automation Design, develop, and deploy automation workflows that combine traditional automation with AI-driven decision-makingBuild automations using modern tools and platforms such as Power Automate, n8n, Zapier-style iPaaS, and custom scripts, replacing manual and repetitive processesDevelop and operate desktop and agentic automation, including AI desktop agents (for example, agent-based assistants such as Cowork / Open Claw-style tools) that perform tasks across applicationsImplement web automation and data extraction where required using tools such as Playwright, Puppeteer, or SeleniumUse agentic coding tools such as Claude Code to accelerate development, automate engineering tasks, and build internal toolingAutomate IT and operational workflows such as provisioning, monitoring, alerting, ticketing, and incident response.Infrastructure, Cloud & DevOps Build, maintain, and optimize infrastructure across cloud (AWS, GCP), on-premise, and private cloud environments for efficiency, scalability, and reliabilityProvision and manage GPU compute for model inference and AI workloads, optimizing for performance and costDesign and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate building, testing, and deployment of applications, models, and automationsManage source control and Git-based workflows on platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, including branching strategies, pull/merge requests, and code review processesContainerize and orchestrate workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, and manage infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform)Manage deployment, release, and configuration management, and support smooth promotion of changes from development to productionAdminister Linux/Unix and Windows environments supporting development and production systemsMonitoring, Reliability & Performance Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability for applications, infrastructure, and AI/LLM workloads using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, the ELK/Loki stack, Datadog, or cloud-native services (e.g., AWS CloudWatch)Track AI-specific metrics such as latency, token usage, cost, accuracy, and quality, and act on the resultsProactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve performance issues and production incidents within agreed timelinesParticipate in root cause analysis and drive preventive improvements to system reliability and stability.Security & Compliance Apply security best practices across development, automation, and operations, including secrets management, access control, and network securityAddress AI-specific security and governance concerns such as data privacy, prompt injection, safe handling of sensitive data, and responsible use of modelsEnsure activities comply with organizational policies, security standards, and audit requirements, and maintain proper version control and documentationCollaboration & Continuous Improvement Work closely with developers, data and AI engineers, operations staff, business analysts, and other stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutionsParticipate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectivesAct as a liaison between technical teams and stakeholders, and communicate solutions, trade-offs, and results clearlyPrepare and maintain technical documentation, including system designs, runbooks, and operational proceduresContinuously evaluate and recommend new models, tools, frameworks, and practices to improve productivity and quality.Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field
