AI Infrastructure Engineer

General Dynamics is a leading company in high technology solutions and services for defense and scientific missions. They are seeking an AI Infrastructure Engineer to design and implement automated systems, leverage AI for data management, and build reliable infrastructure for software deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Use AI tools to analyze, map, and automate the data migration from the existing workflows and system
• Design modern, flexible data architectures, not locked to legacy patterns
• Leverage AI to detect data quality issues, validate migration results, and optimize database performance
• Partner with the development team to auto-tune queries and optimize storage architecture
• Build fully automated CI/CD pipelines with AI-powered testing, canary analysis, and automatic rollback
• Deploy and manage applications using Kubernetes and container orchestration with infrastructure-as-code
• Build self-healing systems that detect, diagnose, and resolve common issues automatically, only escalating truly novel problems to humans
• Automate environment provisioning, scaling, and configuration so nothing is done manually
• Use AI to automate operational tasks, eliminate manual, repetitive work that doesn't scale
• Build intelligent integration management between the new application and existing enterprise systems
• Leverage AI-assisted tools to generate, optimize, and maintain deployment tooling
• Auto-generate documentation from code, configurations, and system behavior
• Implement AI-powered observability that detects patterns, predicts failures, and suggests or executes fixes automatically
• Build systems where the lights rarely flicker, engineer reliability into the architecture, not bolt it on after
• Use AI to analyze incident patterns and build preventative measures that eliminate entire classes of failures
• Establish and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs) using automated data collection and reporting

Requirements:

• Requires a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology or Mathematics field
