Efficiency AI Ops Engineer Hybrid

The Role: Scaling the Corporate AI Brain

As an Efficiency AI Ops Engineer at Cisco, you will be a lead architect for 'Circuit,' the internal engine driving automation for over 80,000 users. Your mission is to bridge the gap between AI research and production-grade software, ensuring that Cisco’s internal tools are fast, cost-effective, and secure. You won't just be writing code; you'll be designing the systems that determine which models to use and how to optimize every single token for maximum impact.

A Vibe-First Development Environment

This position is tailor-made for developers who have moved beyond manual typing. Cisco is looking for 'vibe coders' who can effectively use AI-assisted tools to build and validate software. Key aspects of the workflow include:

• Advanced Tooling: Utilizing Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to generate and iterate on production artifacts.
• Agentic AI: Implementing and modernizing platform features using autonomous AI agents.
• Performance Tuning: Benchmarking open-source LLMs against proprietary models to find the sweet spot for cost and speed.
• Strategic Oversight: Judging the stability and security of AI-generated code to ensure it meets enterprise standards.

Growth and Leadership

You will act as a 'Team Captain,' guiding cross-functional squads and mentoring peers in the art of AI-driven development. This is a high-visibility opportunity to influence how a global tech giant integrates next-generation LLM techniques into its core business processes. If you are a curious, creative engineer who thrives on the cutting edge of MLOps and design thinking, this is your chance to define the future of enterprise AI.
