This job is with Colt Technology Services, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork - the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Please do not contact the recruiter directly. Colt provides network, voice and data centre services to thousands of businesses around the world, allowing them to focus on delivering their business goals instead of the underlying infrastructure. Summary Job title : Senior AI Engineer Reports to : VP of AI Technology and Architecture Job location : Must have ability to be onsite in Boulder, CO office for 2-3 days a week About Colt and the AI Practice Colt Technology Services is a global digital infrastructure company, operating one of the world's largest fiber networks across Europe and Asia. We are building a Boulder-based AI team as the engineering center of our AI Practice. The team is responsible for how AI is adopted, governed, and scaled across Colt. The AI Practice operates across several parallel workstreams, including use case delivery, AI WAN, and private AI. The Boulder team is where we build, test, and validate before we scale. Why we need this role This is a build role. You will take AI use cases from a business problem to something running in production and being used every day: retrieval and search over Colt's own data, agents that carry out multi-step work, and AI built into the systems Colt's teams already rely on. We are looking for a strong software engineer first. If you have spent eight to ten years building and running production systems and even if you have not yet shipped an LLM-based product, we want to hear from. The platform, the tooling, and the model access are already in place, and a staff-level AI engineer on the team will pair with you directly on the AI side of the work. The AI-specific skills you can bring to the table is a plus but is also learnable. The engineering experience and judgement that comes from having owned real systems in production is not, and that is the part we are hiring for. What we do expect is that you have already got hands on with AI, whether at work or as a side project for yourself. You will be working directly with the Colt teams taking requirements from them. The team is small by design, the problems are real, and what you build in your first year sets the pattern for how Colt builds AI. What you will do Build AI Use Cases Design and build AI applications end to end: data access, retrieval, model calls, orchestration, and the interfaces people use Work with large language models through APIs and self-hosted inference, covering prompting, tool use, retrieval, and multi-step agent workflows Build evaluation harnesses that show whether a use case is good enough to ship, and keep owning them after it ships Integrate AI into Colt's existing systems and data, within the constraints of a live enterprise environment Work Directly With the Business Work with the Colt teams, who will be your customers, and who will use what you build, across network operations, service delivery, finance, and others Turn a loosely described business problem into a scoped, buildable design Show working software early and often, and change direction when the first answer turns out to be wrong Be straight with stakeholders about what AI is not the right tool for Take It to Production and Keep It There Move your own work from prototype to production-grade: tested, instrumented, documented, and supportable Monitor accuracy, latency, and cost in production, and act when they drift Work with platform engineers on deployment, and hand over cleanly to production operations Contribute reusable patterns, components, and internal libraries so the next use case is faster than the last What we're looking for Engineering Experience: 8-10+ years building production software. You have owned systems end to end: designed them, shipped them, operated them, and been on the hook when they broke. Languages: Strong in Python, or strong in another language such as Java, Go, C#, or TypeScript and ready to work primarily in Python. Production Systems: APIs and service integration, working with real data at scale, testing, CI/CD, and debugging things that are already live in front of users. Cloud: Comfortable in any major cloud. We build primarily on Google Cloud; equivalent AWS or Azure experience is ok to start. Working Style: Comfortable with ambiguity and with direct contact with non-technical stakeholders. You ask what the problem is before deciding what to build. Hands-On with AI: You have already built something with it under your own steam. A side project, a prototype at work, an internal tool, a serious evaluation you ran, or agentic coding tools you use daily and have opinions about. It does not need to have shipped, been finished, or worked. We want to hear what you tried, what broke, and what you concluded. Helpful, Not Required: Any of this at enterprise scale: production RAG over messy real-world data, agent frameworks, evaluation tooling, Vertex AI, Kubernetes, Terraform. Useful if you have it, and teachable if you do not. HOW YOU WILL RAMP You pair with a staff-level AI engineer from your first week, on a live use case rather than a training exercise The AI platform is already running: model gateway, evaluation tooling, deployment pipelines, and sandbox, development, and production environments We expect you to put something small into real use inside your first 90 days, and to lead a use case end to end within six months WHEN WE TALK Come ready to walk us through something you have built with AI, however small or unfinished. We would rather see a rough prototype you can explain in depth than a polished project you cannot. Expect us to ask where it fell short, what you would do differently, and how you decided whether it was any good. How you evaluated it matters more to us than what you shipped. If you have not used AI tools in your own engineering work, this will be a difficult conversation. That is the one gap we are not set up to close for you. What we offer you: Looking to make a mark? At Colt, you'll make a difference. Because around here, we empower people. We don't tell you what to do. Instead, we employ people we trust, who come together across the globe to create intelligent solutions. Our global teams are full of ambitious, driven people, all working together towards one shared purpose: to put the power of the digital universe in the hands of our customers wherever, whenever and however they want. We give our people the opportunity to inspire and lead teams, and work on projects that connect people, cities, businesses, and ideas. We want you to help us change the world, for the better. Diversity and inclusion Inclusion and valuing diversity of thought and experience are at the heart of our culture here at Colt. From day one, you'll be encouraged to be yourself because we believe that's what helps our people to thrive. We welcome people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, regardless of their gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, neurodiversity, age, marital status, pregnancy status, or place of birth.

Job Description Job Description Staff / Principal Platform Engineer Location: New York City Hybrid Department: AI Platform & Infrastructure Team Reports to: Vangie Shue - Principal Engineering Manager About AppGate AppGate secures and protects an organization's most valuable assets with its high performance Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution and Cyber Advisory Services. AppGate ZTNA is the only direct-routed Zero Trust solution built for peak performance, superior protection and seamless interoperability. AppGate Cyber Advisory Services harden your security posture and ensure business continuity. AppGate safeguards Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies worldwide. Learn more at About the Role As we expand our platform, we are standing up a new AI Platform & Infrastructure team: the engine room of AppGate's AI strategy. This team owns the infrastructure layer that every next-generation security capability is built on, from network observability to AI-driven threat detection and the secure operation of emerging Agentic AI systems. We're looking for a Staff or Principal Platform Engineer to build and operate the foundational platform behind AppGate's AI products. You combine deep DevOps and cloud infrastructure expertise with hands-on experience operationalizing AI/ML systems, and you treat observability as a first-class engineering discipline. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, private, high-impact company where your work directly shapes the architecture, reliability and core platform that defines the future of security. You'll own the platform spanning APIs, cloud and self-managed solutions and AI/ML infrastructure, and you'll make it fast, reliable and observable at scale. This is a high-leverage, hands-on role for a senior engineer who sets technical direction and still ships. Key Responsibilities Build the Platform: design, build and operate the cloud infrastructure, services and pipelines that AppGate's AI and cloud products run on. Strong experience with self-managed technologies (kafka, elasticsearch) and Kubernetes are a must. Infrastructure as Code & Deployment Orchestration: Terraform and Helm for cloud provisioning, service deployment and configuration management. Implement Observability: instrument APIs, cloud services and AI/ML infrastructure with metrics, logging, tracing and alerting, and define SLOs and operational health metrics that teams trust. Data Platform: real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality. Integrations: third-party connectors, APIs and platform integrations. Operationalize AI/ML: build model serving and inference pipelines, experiment tracking and the MLOps tooling for deployment, versioning, drift monitoring and lifecycle management. Engineer for reliability & automation: apply SRE practices to reduce toil, improve resilience and keep latency and uptime within target across the platform. Automate everything - deliver infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and self-service tooling so product teams ship safely and quickly. Set technical direction: define platform standards, architecture and best practices, and raise the engineering bar through design reviews and mentorship. Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with data scientists, product teams and leadership to align platform investment with AppGate's strategic vision. Required Qualifications Experience: extensive platform, infrastructure or SRE engineering experience, with a track record of operating production systems at scale. Staff-level candidates typically bring 8+ years and Principal-level candidates 12+ years, though we hire on demonstrated impact. DevOps depth: strong command of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS). Observability expertise: hands-on experience implementing observability across APIs, cloud services and distributed systems using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, the ELK stack or comparable, including SLO and error-budget practice. Data platform skills: familiarity with real-time and batch ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality at production scale. Engineering craft: fluency in a primary backend language (Python, Go or similar) and a strong bias toward automation, testing and reliable, maintainable systems. Leadership: a record of setting technical direction, leading complex initiatives across teams, mentoring senior engineers, while still being very hands-on. Mindset: pragmatic, rigorous and ownership-driven. You thrive in a small, fast-moving environment and enjoy building foundations others depend on. Preferred Qualifications AI/ML infrastructure: experience building or operating model serving, inference pipelines and MLOps tooling such as MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker or equivalent, including model deployment, versioning and drift monitoring. Networking & Zero Trust fundamentals: working knowledge of the network and routing layer beneath modern access solutions - TCP/IP, TLS, tunneling/overlay networks, packet routing and filtering, DNS and firewalling - and familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) or adjacent domains (VPN, SDP, SASE, software-defined networking). You can reason about traffic paths, latency and throughput end-to-end, and instrument the network as a first-class observability signal. Compensation Staff: 185k-225k base Principal: 215k-270k base We offer performance bonuses and considerable equity. AppGate is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and a federal contractor subject to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 as amended, and their corresponding regulations.

AppGate Cyber Advisory Services harden your security posture and ensure business continuity. AppGate safeguards Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies worldwide. Learn more at About the Role As we expand our platform, we are standing up a new AI Platform & Infrastructure team: the engine room of AppGate's AI strategy. This team owns the infrastructure layer that every next-generation security capability is built on, from network observability to AI-driven threat detection and the secure operation of emerging Agentic AI systems. We're looking for a Staff or Principal Platform Engineer to build and operate the foundational platform behind AppGate's AI products. You combine deep DevOps and cloud infrastructure expertise with hands-on experience operationalizing AI/ML systems, and you treat observability as a first-class engineering discipline. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, private, high-impact company where your work directly shapes the architecture, reliability and core platform that defines the future of security. You'll own the platform spanning APIs, cloud and self-managed solutions and AI/ML infrastructure, and you'll make it fast, reliable and observable at scale. This is a high-leverage, hands-on role for a senior engineer who sets technical direction and still ships. Key Responsibilities Build the Platform: design, build and operate the cloud infrastructure, services and pipelines that AppGate's AI and cloud products run on. Strong experience with self-managed technologies (kafka, elasticsearch) and Kubernetes are a must. Infrastructure as Code & Deployment Orchestration: Terraform and Helm for cloud provisioning, service deployment and configuration management. Implement Observability: instrument APIs, cloud services and AI/ML infrastructure with metrics, logging, tracing and alerting, and define SLOs and operational health metrics that teams trust. Data Platform: real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality. Integrations: third-party connectors, APIs and platform integrations. Operationalize AI/ML: build model serving and inference pipelines, experiment tracking and the MLOps tooling for deployment, versioning, drift monitoring and lifecycle management. Engineer for reliability & automation: apply SRE practices to reduce toil, improve resilience and keep latency and uptime within target across the platform. Automate everything - deliver infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and self-service tooling so product teams ship safely and quickly. Set technical direction: define platform standards, architecture and best practices, and raise the engineering bar through design reviews and mentorship. Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with data scientists, product teams and leadership to align platform investment with AppGate's strategic vision. Required Qualifications Experience: extensive platform, infrastructure or SRE engineering experience, with a track record of operating production systems at scale. Staff-level candidates typically bring 8+ years and Principal-level candidates 12+ years, though we hire on demonstrated impact. DevOps depth: strong command of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS). Observability expertise: hands-on experience implementing observability across APIs, cloud services and distributed systems using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, the ELK stack or comparable, including SLO and error-budget practice. Data platform skills: familiarity with real-time and batch ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality at production scale. Engineering craft: fluency in a primary backend language (Python, Go or similar) and a strong bias toward automation, testing and reliable, maintainable systems. Leadership: a record of setting technical direction, leading complex initiatives across teams, mentoring senior engineers, while still being very hands-on. Mindset: pragmatic, rigorous and ownership-driven. You thrive in a small, fast-moving environment and enjoy building foundations others depend on. Preferred Qualifications AI/ML infrastructure: experience building or operating model serving, inference pipelines and MLOps tooling such as MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker or equivalent, including model deployment, versioning and drift monitoring. Networking & Zero Trust fundamentals: working knowledge of the network and routing layer beneath modern access solutions - TCP/IP, TLS, tunneling/overlay networks, packet routing and filtering, DNS and firewalling - and familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) or adjacent domains (VPN, SDP, SASE, software-defined networking). You can reason about traffic paths, latency and throughput end-to-end, and instrument the network as a first-class observability signal. Compensation Staff: 185k-225k base Principal: 215k-270k base We offer performance bonuses and considerable equity. AppGate is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and a federal contractor subject to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 as amended, and their corresponding regulations. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status, age or any other federally protected class. Further, AppGate is an affirmative action employer committed to taking positive steps to employ, advance in employment and otherwise afford equal employment opportunity to protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.
