- 5+ years of experience in cloud architecture with a primary focus on AWS or Azure, including hands-on deployment and management of Amazon EKS or ECS, or Azure Kubernetes Service and hybrid connectivity services.
- 3+ years of experience in a customer-facing role (e.g., consulting, professional services, pre-sales, managed services) for a high-tech software or technology vendor.
- Proven track record leading enterprise consulting or professional services engagements.
- Exposure to implementation of API gateways (e.g., Zuul, Apigee, Kong, Amazon API Gateway, Azure API Management) and AI application specific gateways (e.g., LiteLLM, Portkey, Helicone, TrueFoundry).
- Solid understanding of public cloud networking constructs (e.g., AWS VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, and Gateway Load Balancer – Azure VNets, VNGs, ExpressRoute, vWAN, Load Balancer, and DNS).
- Experience designing and securing AI/ML infrastructure including AWS SageMaker, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, Databricks, GPU-accelerated compute, and model inference pipelines.
- Exposure to unique threat landscape for AI and LLMs including AI specific threat models and risks (e.g., prompt injection, data poisoning/leakage/exfiltration, model inversion/manipulations/poisoning, and other adversarial attacks).
- Proficient with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK with version-controlled deployment pipelines.
- Automation scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Go is a plus.
- Familiarity with container security, runtime protection, and service mesh architectures (Istio, App Mesh).
- Practical experience with observability and monitoring stacks (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
- Knowledge of data sovereignty, residency requirements and compliance frameworks relevant to AI workloads (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, HIPPA, PCI, HITRUST, GDPR).
- Familiarity with data protection regulations and AI Security frameworks (e.g., GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, MITRE ATLAS) is a plus.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, capable of influencing at all levels and gaining a ‘Trusted Advisor’ status.
