What you'll own in this role

Core responsibilities this discipline prepares you for.

1

Build the internal GenAI platform

enabling developers to deploy LLM applications self-service

  • Design platform APIs with golden path templates and self-service provisioning workflows
  • Build developer portals with pre-approved LLM configurations, guardrails, and monitoring included
  • Wire end-to-end self-service: from app registration to deployed inference endpoint with observability
2

Design multi-tenant infrastructure

with namespace isolation and RBAC

  • Implement Kubernetes namespace isolation with RBAC policies and resource quotas per tenant
  • Automate tenant provisioning with network policies and admission controllers
  • Validate tenant isolation by enforcing resource limits under concurrent multi-team workloads
3

Implement CI/CD pipelines

with GitOps for GenAI applications

  • Set up ArgoCD GitOps for declarative deployment from Git push to production rollout
  • Build GitHub Actions workflows with act for local CI and Helm chart packaging
  • Wire complete GitOps pipelines with Kustomize overlays for dev/staging/production environments
4

Manage data infrastructure

— databases, caches, message queues on K8s

  • Deploy PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis, Kafka, Neo4j, and MinIO as Kubernetes-native services
  • Configure backup/restore, horizontal scaling, and monitoring for each data component
  • Benchmark throughput and failover behavior for each infrastructure component under load
5

Build autoscaling for GenAI workloads

using event-driven scaling and batch job queuing

  • Configure KEDA for event-driven pod autoscaling based on queue depth, HTTP rate, and custom metrics
  • Set up Kueue for Kubernetes-native batch job scheduling with priorities and fair quotas
  • Validate auto-scaling policies under burst GenAI workloads with realistic traffic patterns
6

Provision infrastructure-as-code

using K8s-native tooling

  • Declare infrastructure as Kubernetes custom resources with Crossplane providers
  • Manage databases, storage, and networking declaratively through kubectl apply
  • Verify reconciliation behavior by modifying infrastructure state and observing self-healing
7

Implement full-stack observability

across the GenAI platform

  • Build unified observability with Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and OpenTelemetry tracing
  • Add Logfire for Python application tracing and Langfuse for LLM-specific cost and quality monitoring
  • Wire a unified observability stack spanning infrastructure, application, and LLM inference layers
8

Operate LLM gateways

as platform infrastructure

  • Manage LiteLLM gateway operations: API key lifecycle, per-team cost tracking, and provider health
  • Handle model version migration and zero-downtime provider switching
  • Operate a production gateway serving multiple internal teams with isolated quotas and routing
