AI Engineer: DevOps & Application Support

At GE Appliances, a Haier company, we come together to make “good things, for life.” As the fastest-growing appliance company in the U.S., we’re powered by creators, thinkers and makers who believe that anything is possible and that there’s always a better way. We believe in the power of our people and in giving them the freedom to explore, discover and build good things, together.

About the role

We are seeking a collaborative, self-motivated, and detail-oriented DevOps & Application Support Engineer to join our AI Platform engineering team. In this role, the ideal candidate will be the primary owner of the DevOps, maintenance, and support for our in-house developer and user tools, specifically Open Web UI (serving ~2,500 production users). This is an incredible opportunity for a technical resource looking to build a strong foundation in modern cloud infrastructure, automation, and AI tooling. While the primary focus of the role will be environment management, triaging issues, and keeping our platforms running smoothly, the DevOps & Application Support Engineer will also have an opportunity to actively contribute to core AI Platform development as workload bandwidth allows.
