W2 CANDIDATES ONLY.

We’re seeking a highly skilled AI/LLM Toolkit Developer to join a long-term remote contract engagement focused on building a cutting-edge enablement solution for technical support teams.

This role involves developing a comprehensive toolkit that leverages AI agents and large language models (LLMs) with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to streamline onboarding and reduce reliance on complex documentation.

🔧 What You’ll Build:

You’ll design and implement a robust, AI-powered toolkit that empowers support teams to manage and troubleshoot hybrid environments with ease. The toolkit will cover:

• Kubernetes Foundations: Core concepts like pods, deployments, services, namespaces, limits, eviction policies, and network policies.
• Virtualization Layer: Deep dive into OpenShift Virtualization and KVM-based VM management.
• Mixed Workloads: Best practices for managing VMs and containers on a unified platform.
• Containerization: Communication and coordination between VMs and containers, including useful container tools.
• Resource Management: Efficient handling of CPU, memory, and storage for both VMs and containers.
• Networking: Kubernetes networking, User Defined Networks (UDNs), and F5 SPK integration.
• Storage: Persistent volume frameworks, tuning storage traffic, fault tolerance, and database replication strategies.
• Live Migration: Seamless VM migration with minimal downtime, including database and storage considerations.
• Automation & Orchestration: Automating provisioning, deployment, and scaling in a Webscale environment.
• Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Diagnosing issues, analyzing logs, and applying software updates.
• Configuration & Customization: Tailored networking and storage solutions to meet specific use cases.
• High Availability: Strategies for fault tolerance and resilient application design across various workloads.

✅ Ideal Candidate:

• Strong experience with Kubernetes, OpenShift 4.18, and virtualization technologies
• Familiarity with AI/LLM integration, especially RAG-based systems
• Proven ability to create technical enablement tools and documentation
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, contract-based environment

🌍 Work Environment:

• Remote-first: Work from anywhere
• Long-term contract: Stability with flexibility
• Impactful work: Help shape how support teams onboard and operate at scale
