Job Summary:
Light & Wonder is a corporate team focused on providing essential services across the enterprise. They are seeking a Senior Azure AI Platform Engineer to architect and maintain their Azure landing zone, design CI/CD pipelines, and enforce security measures for their AI workflows.
Responsibilities:
• Architect and maintain the team's Azure landing zone, ensuring secure, private-network deployments inside the enterprise data boundary
• Design and operate end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for .NET agent workflows and supporting services via Azure DevOps
• Define and manage the evaluation infrastructure, utilizing Foundry Evals and Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation to establish rigorous, automated deployment gates
• Implement comprehensive observability using Foundry's native MAF tracing and OpenTelemetry multi-agent semantics for distributed cross-agent traces
• Enforce a strict security posture across Entra ID, Key Vault, and private endpoints, including data-classification integration via Purview
• Codify sovereign and hybrid deployment patterns as Infrastructure as Code (Bicep) to enable reliable team self-service
• Drive incident response, establish mature on-call rotations, and provide technical mentorship to platform engineers
Qualifications:
Required:
• 8+ years in DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with at least 3 years on Azure
• Advanced hands-on with Azure services: AKS, App Service, Functions, API Management, Key Vault, Entra ID, App Insights / Azure Monitor
• Strong IaC fluency (Bicep preferred for Microsoft-native parity; Terraform also acceptable). Production experience designing CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps
• Strong scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash; comfortable reading C# and TypeScript
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, AKS / Kubernetes)
• Experience operating LLM or agent systems in production - serving, evaluation, observability, and cost control
• Working knowledge of enterprise identity (Entra ID / AAD), secret management, private endpoints, and secure-by-default networking
Preferred:
• Hands-on with Microsoft Agent Framework, .NET Aspire, and Microsoft Foundry (Observability and/or Evals). MAF is recently GA; depth is uncommon and not required, but signals of fluency with the surrounding Microsoft AI stack are weighted heavily
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, including the multi-agent semantic conventions for distributed agent tracing
• Experience with Foundry Local / Azure Local or other on-prem/sovereign Azure deployment patterns (e.g., Azure / SAIL Sovereign AI Landing Zone)
• Experience with Azure OpenAI capacity planning, PTU management, and cost optimization
• Exposure to SOC2, PCI, or gaming regulatory frameworks.
• Experience designing DLP and data-classification integrations (Purview) for AI systems
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) interoperability
• Contributions to open source in the platform engineering, AI platform, or agent-tooling space
