What this job asks for AI summary
A senior hands-on engineering role focused on building the DevOps and LLMOps foundation for an AI product platform that deploys agentic workflows and integrations to enterprise clients. The work centers on creating CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, configuration and release management, observability, and AI-specific operational practices — such as prompt versioning, cost tracking, and multi-provider model routing — from the ground up. Suits engineers with a platform or site-reliability background who want to architect systems rather than maintain inherited ones.

Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'AI DevOps Engineer' and framed as 'senior,' but the stated experience requirement is only 3–5 years, which aligns with a Mid-level band. Advertised seniority reflects the title; assessed seniority reflects the actual requirements.
Three office locations are listed (Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh) with a hybrid model. Indianapolis is used as the primary CBSA; the role is not fully remote.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily a build/ship role (CI/CD pipelines, IaC, platform framework) pointing to Software Developers (15-1252), but it has meaningful infrastructure operations and systems administration characteristics that could support 15-1244. The build-and-ship framing wins.
LLM API familiarity (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini) is listed in the requirements section but framed as 'working familiarity,' suggesting a lower bar; it is still treated as a hard gate given its placement in the requirements block. The specific providers are listed as alternatives to one another since any one satisfies the requirement.
Prometheus/Grafana are explicitly noted as transferable experience ('transfers') rather than a direct requirement — listed under the observability requirement as context, so marked preferred.
Argo Workflows, Airflow, RAG/MCP awareness, Nutanix NKP, and SOC 2 compliance exposure are all explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the posting.
Retool appears in the responsibilities narrative as a deployment target, not as a candidate gate, so it is marked preferred.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Entra ID, Okta, and OneLogin are listed as examples of SSO/OIDC providers; they are treated as alternatives under the SSO/OIDC identity requirement rather than separate skills.
