Please review the following job description:

The AI Infrastructure Engineer is a hands-on platform and infrastructure engineer responsible for building, deploying, and operating the cloud foundations that enable enterprise AI and agentic solutions across the Truist Agentic Enterprise (TAE).

This role focuses on infrastructure, automation, deployment, reliability, observability, and operational excellence for AI-enabled workloads. The engineer partners closely with software engineers, data teams, architects, security teams, and platform teams to deliver scalable, secure, and production-ready environments for agentic systems and AI applications.

The ideal candidate combines strong cloud engineering expertise with modern software engineering skills, including Python, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, containerization, and cloud-native operations.

The role requires a strong understanding of platform architecture, deployment patterns, monitoring, resiliency, and operational support for enterprise-scale AI solutions.

Working as an individual contributor, the engineer executes independently on assigned initiatives while contributing to engineering excellence, platform stability, and delivery efficiency across the organization.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.
Build, deploy, and support infrastructure platforms that enable the development and operation of AI agents, AI applications, and intelligent automation solutions.

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and related automation technologies to provision and manage cloud resources.
• Design and support CI/CD pipelines that enable reliable build, test, deployment, and release processes for AI and agentic workloads.
• Implement containerized deployment solutions using modern container and orchestration technologies.
• Configure and manage cloud-native services, networking, security controls, storage, compute resources, and supporting platform capabilities.
• Partner with development teams to operationalize AI workloads, APIs, services, and agentic solutions in production environments.
• Implement observability capabilities including monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, telemetry, and performance analytics.
• Support platform reliability through automation, resiliency engineering, incident response, root-cause analysis, and operational improvements.
• Contribute to cloud architecture decisions, deployment standards, environment design, and infrastructure best practices.
• Develop automation and tooling using Python and related technologies to improve operational efficiency, platform consistency, and deployment speed.
• Implement security, compliance, access control, and governance requirements within cloud and deployment platforms.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures, operational runbooks, and platform support materials.
• Collaborate with engineering, architecture, security, product, and operations teams to deliver reliable and scalable AI platform capabilities.
• Contribute reusable infrastructure modules, automation patterns, and platform standards that improve engineering productivity and operational stability.
