Who We're Looking ForToyota Financial Services (TFS) Technology team is looking for a highly motivated person to fill a role as a DevOps/Platform Engineer within the Security Intelligence Engineering organization. You'll own the AWS cloud infrastructure that powers AI-driven security intelligence platform - from data lake architecture and serverless functions, through container orchestration clusters with GPU node groups for model inference. This role ensures the platform is reliable, secure, observable, and cost-efficient as it scales. You build the foundation that lets engineers ship AI-powered security features without worrying about infrastructure - and you ensure no security data ever leaves the corporate network.
What you'll be doing- Design and implement cloud data lake architecture for security telemetry ingestion and retention
- Build and manage container orchestration clusters - including CPU and GPU node groups for model inference
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for all platform components (data connectors, dashboards, ML models)
- Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CDK across all environments
- Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability (metrics, logging, distributed tracing)
- Manage container lifecycle - images, registry, deployment strategies, scaling policies
- Handle secrets management, network architecture, and security controls for the platform itself
- Optimize cloud costs - right-sizing instances, reserved capacity planning, spot instance strategies
- Support ML training infrastructure (training jobs, model endpoints, model registry)
- Build and maintain model serving infrastructure for production inference workloads
- Ensure all processing occurs on internal cloud infrastructure with no data leaving the corporate network
- Implement secure authentication for all API connections to enterprise security tools
What You Bring- 4+ years in AWS infrastructure engineering or platform/SRE roles
- Deep Kubernetes/EKS experience - cluster management, networking, autoscaling, troubleshooting
- Production experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred, CDK acceptable)
- Strong Docker and container orchestration skills
- CI/CD pipeline design and implementation (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
- AWS networking: VPC design, security groups, private subnets, VPC endpoints
- IAM policy design - least-privilege access patterns, cross-account roles, service-linked roles
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment
Added bonus if you have- Experience with GPU workloads on Kubernetes (NVIDIA device plugin, GPU scheduling)
- Familiarity with ML platform infrastructure (training jobs, model endpoints, model registry)
- Experience managing cloud data lakes at scale (lifecycle policies, partitioning strategies, query engine integration)
- Background in security-sensitive environments - SOC 2, SOX, or financial services compliance
- Cost optimization experience - FinOps practices, reserved instance management, Savings Plans
- Experience with model serving frameworks (vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT)
- Self-motivated individual who thrives in ambiguous environments and can build processes from the ground up
