Drata is hiring a Senior Platform AI Engineer

Requirements

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years building or operating AI/ML infrastructure in production.
  • Strong in Python (our AI services are built in Python)
  • Experience in several of these areas: cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred — ECS, S3, Bedrock), container orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipeline design, API design, workflow orchestration engines, and distributed systems.
  • Experience with at least some AI-specific tooling: LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, etc), model serving frameworks (vLLM, SageMaker etc), vector databases, embedding pipelines, prompt management platforms, or agent frameworks.
  • Communicate clearly about technical tradeoffs, especially when explaining AI-specific infrastructure decisions to stakeholders who think in terms of traditional reliability engineering.
  • Own what you see broken, not just what's assigned to you, and you can spot when an architecture decision will fail at scale and say so early, clearly, and with an alternative.
