What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits within an AIOps team focused on modernizing enterprise systems through automation and AI-driven infrastructure. Day-to-day work involves building CI/CD pipelines, managing containerized workloads, provisioning infrastructure as code, and designing Model Context Protocol (MCP) server ecosystems that allow AI agents to interact with databases, deployment systems, and third-party APIs. It suits engineers with deep end-to-end automation experience who are comfortable working with LLM-based agents and agentic frameworks in production environments.

Why we read it this way (7)
The JD is structured unusually: the 'Basic Qualifications' section establishes the hard gates (degree + 5 years experience + US citizenship), while ALL technical skills are introduced with 'We encourage you to apply if you have any of these preferred skills' — making every named technology explicitly preferred, not required.
US citizenship is a hard gate due to the nature of work performed within GDMS facilities, but no specific security clearance level is stated or required to obtain — so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a STEM field; a Master's + 3 years is offered as an alternative path, but the minimum stated degree is a Bachelor's.
The role blends software engineering (building automation, CI/CD pipelines, AI agent tooling) with infrastructure/AIOps operations. 15-1252 Software Developers is the better fit given the emphasis on engineering complete automation solutions and writing code; 15-1244 is the runner-up given the infrastructure and operational context.
Seniority is set to Mid (5+ years required, no explicit 'Senior' title or org-wide scope); the title 'AI Automation Engineer' carries no level modifier, so the title states no level.
Agile experience is listed as preferred in the Basic Qualifications section but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted from the skills list per the no-generic-methodology rule.
