With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense.\nThe following position is to join our RTX Enterprise Services team:\nWe are seeking an experienced AI Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate the reusable software, services, infrastructure, and runtime capabilities that enable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions to be developed, deployed, secured, observed, and scaled across RTX. The ideal candidate combines strong backend software engineering with cloud, DevOps, and AI platform experience. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building production platform capabilities, not simply deploying infrastructure. You will work closely with AI Architects, Applied AI Engineers, application teams, cybersecurity, data, and enterprise technology organizations to provide secure and reusable capabilities that accelerate AI adoption across RTX.\nWhat You Will Do\nDesign, develop, and operate scalable backend services, APIs, and distributed platform capabilities that support enterprise AI applications, models, and agents.\n\nBuild and integrate AI platform capabilities including model access and routing, AI gateways, agent runtimes, lifecycle management, tool integration, model serving, retrieval services, and related enterprise AI services.\n\nDevelop secure capabilities for agent and application identity, authentication and authorization, secrets management, tool access, permissions, and integration with enterprise systems.\n\nDesign and automate deployment across development, test, and production environments using cloud-native technologies, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code.\n\nBuild observability capabilities including logging, metrics, tracing, monitoring, alerting, execution telemetry, and cost visibility for AI applications and agentic workloads.\n\nDevelop platform capabilities supporting AI evaluation, model lifecycle management, MLOps, configuration, versioning, and production operations.\n\nDesign platform services for scalability, availability, resilience, performance, security, and support across commercial cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and restricted environments.\n\nPartner with AI Architecture, Applied AI, Application Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data, and product teams to translate solution needs into reusable enterprise platform capabilities and continuously improve the developer experience.\n\nWhat You Will Learn\nHow enterprise AI platforms enable Generative AI, machine learning, and agentic applications to operate securely and consistently across a global aerospace and defense company.\n\nHow models, agents, tools, identity, data, evaluation, and observability come together as reusable enterprise platform capabilities.\n\nHow AI workloads are designed and operated across commercial cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and restricted computing environments.\n\nHow production agentic systems introduce new engineering challenges around identity, tool access, runtime governance, state, observability, and operational control.\n\nHow emerging AI platforms, orchestration technologies, interoperability standards, and cloud services can be evaluated and incorporated into enterprise architectures.\n\nHow reusable platform capabilities can reduce duplication and accelerate AI solution delivery across multiple RTX business units.\n\nQualifications You Must Have\nA University Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Engineering, or a related STEM discipline and a minimum of 8 years of relevant professional experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and a minimum of 5 years of relevant professional experience.\n\nA minimum of 5 years of hands-on software engineering experience developing backend services, APIs, distributed systems, cloud platforms, or similar production software.\n\nProgramming experience using Python, Java, C#, or another modern backend programming language, with demonstrated experience developing tested and maintainable production software.\n\nExperience designing and building APIs, microservices, distributed services, event-driven systems, or other backend platform capabilities.\n\nExperience with cloud-native engineering including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code, and experience deploying applications or services using at least one major public cloud platform.\n\nExperience with production observability and operations, including logging, metrics, tracing, monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and reliability.\n\nExperience working with enterprise security concepts including authentication and authorization, identity and access management, secrets management, network security, and secure application integration.\n\n Qualifications We Prefer\nExperience building AI/ML platforms, developer platforms, internal platforms, or shared enterprise software services including experience with AI gateways, model serving, inference platforms, model routing, agent runtimes, orchestration platforms, or model lifecycle capabilities.\n\nExperience with agentic AI platform concepts including agent registration, tool execution, Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent identity, permissions, state, lifecycle management, or agent observability.\n\nExperience with vector databases, enterprise search, retrieval platforms, knowledge services, feature stores, model registries, or other AI/ML infrastructure and MLOps, model deployment, model versioning, production monitoring, AI evaluation infrastructure, or model lifecycle automation.\n\nExperience operating highly available Kubernetes or distributed application platforms and implementing resilience, scalability, and disaster-recovery patterns.\n\nExperience supporting AI or enterprise applications across hybrid cloud, on-premises, restricted, or highly regulated environments and familiarity with AI security, Responsible AI, cloud architecture principles, cost management, FinOps, or enterprise governance requirements.\n\nDemonstrated ability to independently solve complex technical problems, collaborate across engineering disciplines, and influence technical decisions within large-scale software or platform initiatives.\n\nWhat We Offer\nWhether you’re just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package with compensation;
