[Hiring] AI Platform Engineer @International Rescue Committee

Role Description

The AI Platform Engineer is a technical operations role responsible for keeping the IRC's enterprise AI environment running. This includes managing platform configurations and API access, building and maintaining integrations between AI tools and IRC systems, writing scripts and automations, and serving as the technical point of contact for data engineering and InfoSec.

Day-to-day, this person is more likely to be reading logs, troubleshooting a broken pipeline, or pushing a configuration change than answering questions from end users.

The role works in close coordination with the AI Platform Support Director, ensuring the systems are reliable, observable, and properly connected to the rest of the IRC's data and operational environment.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience administering enterprise AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or comparable tools).
• Familiarity with LLM application infrastructure: prompt pipelines, Model Context Protocol (MCP), vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns, and embedding workflows.
• Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript for scripting, automation, and lightweight integration work.
• Experience building and maintaining REST API integrations.
• Working knowledge of information security principles as they apply to SaaS and API-based systems.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues.

Requirements

• Serve as primary technical administrator across IRC enterprise AI environments.
• Manage user access, API key governance, workspace configurations, and environment-level settings across AI platforms.
• Monitor system health, usage patterns, and API performance across AI tools.
• Coordinate with the DevOps, SW Engineering, and Data Engineering teams on deployment processes.
• Track and report on AI resource utilization across platforms.
• Act as a technical resource for program and operations teams adopting AI tools.

Benefits

• 10 paid sick leave days.
• 10 U.S. holidays.
• 20-25 generous paid time off based on role and tenure.
• Medical insurance starting at $163/month.
• Dental starting at $6.50/month.
• Vision starting at $5/month.
• Flexible spending accounts (healthcare, dependent care, and commuter).
• 403(b) retirement savings plan with employer match (immediate vesting).
• Disability and life insurance.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering confidential counseling and support services.
