Platform Engineer – AI Developer Tools & IAM

Job Overview:

A Platform Engineer is responsible for setting up, configuring, governing, and supporting SaaS-based AI code-generation tools for enterprise engineering teams. This role focuses on enabling secure and scalable adoption of AI-assisted development platforms by configuring tool settings, integrating identity and access management, implementing role-based access controls, and documenting configurations, standards, and operating procedures.

Responsibilities:

• SaaS AI Tool Setup: Configure and administer SaaS tools for AI-based code generation, including tenant settings, workspace structures, usage policies, and integration options.
• Identity and Access Management: Set up and maintain authentication flows, SSO integrations, Active Directory or enterprise directory mappings, and user provisioning processes.
• Role-Based Access Controls: Define, implement, and review role-based access controls for developers, administrators, reviewers, and support teams to ensure least-privilege access.
• Tool Integration: Integrate AI code-generation tools with source control, IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, ticketing systems, and developer portals where appropriate.
• Governance and Security: Apply enterprise security standards for authentication, authorization, data protection, audit logging, usage monitoring, and policy enforcement.
• Configuration Documentation: Create and maintain clear documentation covering tool configuration, access models, SSO setup, directory group mappings, operational procedures, and change history.
• User Onboarding and Support: Support onboarding, access requests, troubleshooting, training, and adoption of AI code-generation tools across development teams.
• Continuous Improvement: Monitor tool usage, collect feedback, review access periodically, and recommend improvements to configuration, governance, and developer experience.

Technical Skills:

• SaaS Administration: Experience configuring enterprise SaaS platforms, managing tenants or workspaces, applying policies, and supporting users at scale.
• AI Code-Generation Tools: Familiarity with tools such as GitHub Copilot, AWS Bedrock, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI-assisted development platforms.
• Identity and Authentication: Strong understanding of SSO, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, MFA, authentication flows, enterprise identity providers, and Active Directory or Azure Active Directory concepts.
• Role-Based Access Control: Ability to design and maintain RBAC models, permission sets, administrator roles, group-based access, and least-privilege access patterns.
• User Provisioning: Knowledge of directory group mappings, lifecycle management, access request workflows, deprovisioning, and periodic access reviews.
• Source Control and Developer Tooling: Strong understanding of Git, repository management, IDE integrations, pull request workflows, and developer productivity tools.
• CI/CD and SDLC Tools: Experience with tools such as Jenkins, Bamboo, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence, Nexus, Zephyr, and Ansible.
• Security and Compliance: Understanding of audit logging, secrets handling, data protection, secure configuration, SCA, SAST, DAST, and policy enforcement.
• Documentation: Ability to produce clear configuration guides, operational runbooks, access-control matrices, troubleshooting guides, and change records.
• Scripting and Automation: Skills in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, PowerShell, Groovy, or Go to automate administrative and reporting tasks.

AI Skills:

• AI Code-Generation Platform Administration: Configure SaaS-based AI coding assistants for enterprise use, including workspace settings, model or feature controls, policy options, and developer enablement settings.
• Secure AI Tool Adoption: Apply governance practices for AI-assisted coding, including access controls, auditability, acceptable-use policies, secure configuration, and usage monitoring.
• Identity-Aware AI Enablement: Integrate AI coding platforms with SSO, Active Directory, enterprise identity providers, and role-based access models to support secure user onboarding and administration.
• AI-Assisted Coding and Scripting: Use AI coding assistants to accelerate Python, Bash, PowerShell, Groovy, and pipeline script development while validating generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
• AI Tool Configuration Documentation: Document configuration decisions, access models, SSO and directory mappings, policy settings, exception handling, and operational procedures for AI tooling.
• Prompt Engineering for Engineering Workflows: Create clear prompts for troubleshooting, documentation, onboarding, operational runbooks, and developer support scenarios.
• AI-Enhanced SDLC Optimization: Use AI to improve code review preparation, test generation, pipeline troubleshooting, documentation quality, and developer productivity while respecting enterprise guardrails.

Soft Skills:

• Collaboration: Excellent teamwork and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities to resolve issues quickly.
• Adaptability: Ability to adapt to new technologies and methodologies in a fast-paced environment.
• Attention to Detail: Precision in managing configurations and deployments to avoid errors.
• Continuous Learning: Commitment to staying updated with the latest trends and tools in platform engineering.
