Senior Platform Engineer (AI Infrastructure)
Location: Hong Kong / Remote 

About the Role
We are building a highly secure, private AI ecosystem from the ground up. As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you will design the foundation that allows our team to leverage AI safely and cost-effectively.

This role bridges the gap between classic cloud engineering and cutting-edge AI deployments. You will build a centralized secure gateway for all internal AI traffic and assist our infrastructure team in deploying and tuning open-source models on our own physical data center hardware (GPUs).

Core Requirements (Must-Haves)

1. Production Container Orchestration: Deep, hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux environments. (Must have run this at scale, not just be "familiar" with it).
2. Hardware or Local AI Exposure: Practical experience either running local LLM frameworks (like vLLM, TGI, or Triton) OR a rock-solid understanding of managing physical, on-premise servers and bare-metal data centers.
3. Security & Access Mindset: A proven track record of caring about cost management, network security, access controls, and API throttling.
4. 5+ Years in Infrastructure: Solid background as a Platform, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineer managing live, production-grade environments.
5. Programming & Pipelines: Strong scripting skills in Python alongside experience building automated deployment workflows (CI/CD via GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc.).

What You’ll Do

1. Deploy Private AI: Work with our bare-metal infrastructure team to configure, optimize, and run large language models locally on our owned GPU hardware.
2. Secure the Gateway: Build, scale, and maintain the central internal API gateway that handles, monitors, and audits all company AI traffic.
3. Integrate Identity: Seamlessly connect our AI tools with corporate single sign-on (SSO) systems to automate access management.
4. Manage Costs: Track usage metrics and implement strict guardrails to keep infrastructure spend optimized and highly efficient.
5. Empower Teams: Create documentation and provide light internal guidance to help non-technical staff use these new tools productively.

Bonus Points If You Have (Nice-to-Haves):

• Background working in highly regulated fields like Fintech, Banking, or Healthcare.
• Experience deploying enterprise identity solutions (Okta, Azure AD / Entra ID, Keycloak)
