We're the global communications software company and Tier 1 network operator with global reach. The voice, messaging, and emergency services infrastructure behind the brands and apps you use every day.\nBecause we own the network we build on, the problems you'll solve here are bigger, more complex, and more impactful. And as communications shifts to AI, we're the infrastructure layer making it possible.\nWe call ourselves BANDmates because building something this big takes collaboration, different perspectives, and the freedom to bring your authentic self to the table.\nWe're experts who speak like humans. Ready to build what's next? #JoinTheBand\nWhat We Are Looking For:\nAs an Applied AI Engineer on the Corporate IT Engineering team, you’ll identify where AI can create real leverage across our internal systems and operations, and build it. You’ll work inside a team that owns a broad and complex infrastructure footprint, embedding AI into the platforms and workflows that keep Bandwidth running. This is an infrastructure and systems role with a deep AI focus.\nWhat You'll Do:\nOwn and extend existing AI platforms and tooling, improving reliability, expanding capabilities, and integrating them more deeply with internal systems.\nArchitect and build internal API layers and shared services that allow AI workflows and internal applications to publish, version, and retrieve outputs across the engineering ecosystem.\nIdentify and build AI-powered tooling that creates leverage across the Corporate IT Engineering stack, including infrastructure, identity, monitoring, and automation platforms.\nDevelop and iterate on proof-of-concepts that demonstrate how AI can augment or automate internal workflows; from anomaly detection in infrastructure logs to AI-assisted documentation and IT troubleshooting.\nContainerize and orchestrate AI workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring reliable and reproducible deployments across environments.\nAutomate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Ansible, following infrastructure-as-code best practices.\nEstablish AI development patterns and best practices across the Corporate IT Engineering organization, helping teams adopt AI capabilities effectively and responsibly.\nStay current with the evolving AI and MLOps landscape and bring relevant advancements back to the team.\nWhat You Need:\nAI & Application Development\nHands-on experience owning or extending LLM-powered platforms, including RAG pipeline development, prompt engineering, and integrating LLM APIs into production internal systems.\nExpert-level knowledge of AI infrastructure, including model serving, inference optimization, GPU/CPU resource management, and MLOps pipelines.\nExperience designing and building internal API layers or shared platform services that multiple teams and systems publish to and consume from.\nProficiency in Python and/or TypeScript for building integrations, scripts, and lightweight internal services.\nExperience working with REST APIs and building integrations across a diverse internal tooling ecosystem.\nCloud & Infrastructure \nStrong AWS experience: required proficiency in core services (EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, VPC) and experience architecting and operating production workloads on AWS.\nDeep Docker and Kubernetes expertise: required hands-on experience containerizing applications, writing Dockerfiles, managing multi-container deployments, and orchestrating workloads with Kubernetes (EKS or self-managed).\nDeep Terraform and Ansible expertise: required experience writing and maintaining Terraform modules for cloud infrastructure, and using Ansible for configuration management and automation.\nExperience with GitHub for version control, pull request workflows, branching strategies, and CI/CD integration.\nExperience with Artifactory for artifact management, including publishing and consuming build artifacts, Docker images, and package registries.\nMindset & Collaboration\nAn experimental mindset: comfortable inheriting imperfect systems, iterating quickly, and improving as you go.\nAbility to evaluate AI capabilities through a business lens, understanding not just what’s possible but what creates real value for internal teams and the organization.\nStrong communication skills and the ability to explain AI concepts and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.\nA collaborative, team-first approach with a genuine curiosity about where AI is headed.\nA Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.\nBonus Points:\nExperience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar.\nFamiliarity with corporate IT or infrastructure engineering environments, understanding how enterprise platforms around identity, monitoring, and automation operate.\nBackground building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers or tools that extend AI agent capabilities.\nExperience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and semantic search.\nExperience building or maintaining internal developer platforms, artifact registries, or shared API services.\nThe Whole Person Promise:\nAt Bandwidth, we’re pretty proud of our corporate culture, which is rooted in our “Whole Person Promise.” We promise all employees that they can have meaningful work AND a full life, and we provide a work environment geared toward enriching your body, mind, and spirit. How do we do that?
