About The Position

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here! Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

You'll lead an engineering team in architecting and deploying a Content Delivery Network (CDN) infrastructure through advanced AI integration. In this technical lead role, you'll guide your team in leveraging large language models (LLMs) to generate and manage Terraform configurations, transforming how we build and scale infrastructure. Your primary focus will be mastering AI prompt engineering and understanding the behavioral nuances of various models to ensure production-ready infrastructure code. You'll define strategies for interacting with AI systems, iteratively refining prompts, and establishing rigorous quality control processes for all AI-generated output. You'll work hands-on to evaluate AI-generated outputs, account for model hallucinations and limitations, and adjust your prompting strategies accordingly. You'll also collaborate with engineering management and stakeholders to translate architectural requirements into effective AI directives, ensuring that AI-driven infrastructure meets enterprise scalability and security standards. Your leadership will establish best practices, standardized workflows, and review processes that empower your team to work effectively with AI tools. This is a role where technical depth, leadership, and innovation converge—you'll shape how we build infrastructure for the future.
