AI-Augmented Infrastructure-as-Code Specialist (Remote | Contract)

specialist in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)

What You’ll Do

Develop AI Training Content

• Create coding prompts and responses that teach the AI how to define, maintain, and optimize declarative infrastructure using AI-assisted tooling.
• Simulate real-world scenarios that involve automated infrastructure generation and validation based on architectural blueprints to help the model learn from both human-readable design and low-level code representations.

• Incorporate exercises that bridge architecture diagrams and code, enabling the AI to understand diagram-to-code translation and infrastructure logic mapping.

Optimize AI Performance

• Evaluate AI outputs for their ability to suggest resilient, testable, and standards-compliant infrastructure definitions.
• Assess how effectively the AI applies policy-as-code principles and compliance-by-default patterns using intelligent scanning and linting tools.

• Continuously review the model's ability to assist with validation, optimization, and infrastructure drift detection, refining prompts where necessary.

Ensure Model Integrity

• Test the AI’s understanding of safe automation by embedding fail-safe mechanisms and changing predictability into its decision-making process.
• Validate that the model promotes best practices for secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure design.
• Monitor for consistency and accuracy in how the AI handles infrastructure across various environments, including how it enforces policies and identifies misconfigurations.

We’re Looking For

• A strong understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code practices,

  driven by declarative intent and automation

• Experience translating complex architecture into

  scalable, repeatable, and testable configurations

• A belief in

  shifting left

  —automating validation, compliance, and resilience from the beginning
• Passion for working in

  high-autonomy, async, remote environments

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with

  AI tools that optimize or lint IaC definitions

• Experience with architectural diagram parsing or auto-documenting infrastructure
• Exposure to

  compliance-as-code

  , drift detection, and AI-assisted infrastructure audits
