Role

Agentic AI Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure Automation Location: US, Remote Contract

Role Summary

We are seeking an Agentic AI Engineer to design and deliver AI agents that operate against live cloud infrastructure. This is a hands-on build role: you will stand up agent workflows that interpret infrastructure state and telemetry, generate and validate Infrastructure-as-Code, and execute controlled remediation and provisioning actions under human-in-the-loop approval. This is not a research or prototyping role. The expectation is working, governed automation deployed into a real environment within the engagement window.Key Responsibilities * Build and deploy agentic workflows using an LLM orchestration framework (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or cloud-native equivalents such as Bedrock Agents / Azure AI Agent Service)

* Design and implement tool/function-calling layers that expose infrastructure operations to agents safely — including MCP-based tooling where applicable

* Generate, review and validate Terraform modules programmatically; integrate policy-as-code checks (OPA/Sentinel, tflint, checkov) into agent output paths

* Integrate agents with observability and ITSM systems (DataDog, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Jira) for alert triage and automated ticket-to-action flows

* Implement guardrails: least-privilege execution roles, approval gates, dry-run/plan-only modes, audit logging of every agent action

* Build evaluation and regression harnesses for agent behaviour (accuracy, tool-selection correctness, failure containment)

* Wire agent workflows into existing CI/CD pipelines

* Document architecture and hand over to the client's platform team at engagement close
