AI Platform Administrator

iTech AG•Arlington, VA

About The Position

iTech is building AI-powered delivery tooling that changes how ServiceNow solutions are designed, built, and delivered. A critical piece of that investment is our internal AI tooling platform, which powers research, knowledge management, and delivery enablement across our consulting practice. We're hiring an AI Platform Administrator to own the day-to-day operations of our internal AI tooling platform and ensure it runs reliably, securely, and effectively for our internal teams. You'll be the person who keeps it running, configured correctly, and continuously improving for the people who depend on it. Beyond platform administration, this role has a development component. When the platform is running smoothly and admin work is caught up, you'll use the platform to build internal demos, prototype offerings, and develop delivery assets that showcase what it can do. This is a role that rewards initiative - the better you run the platform, the more time you earn to build things on it.

Requirements

2+ years in SaaS platform administration, IT operations, or a related operational role. You know what it means to keep a platform running for a team that depends on it daily.
Comfort with AI/ML concepts. You don't need to build models, but you need to understand what knowledge bases, AI agents, prompt configurations, and AI-generated outputs are and how they work. You should be able to configure AI features, not just use them.
Experience managing vendor relationships. You've been the point of contact between your organization and a SaaS vendor. You know how to file effective bug reports, push for timelines, and advocate for your users.
Strong troubleshooting skills. When something breaks, you dig in. You can isolate issues, check logs, test configurations, and determine whether it's a platform issue, a user issue, or a vendor issue before escalating.
User management and access control experience. You've managed user accounts, roles, and permissions in a SaaS environment. IAM concepts are not new to you.
Clear communication skills. You can write clean documentation, explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders, and keep people informed without overcomplicating things.
Self-directed work style. This role doesn't have someone standing over it. You need to own the platform proactively, not wait to be told something is broken.
ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA).
