[VCK] Senior QA Automation Engineer (AI Systems)

About the Project Ironwood Digital is building a private, tenant-isolated AI assistant for the real estate title and settlement industry. The platform is a retrieval-first (RAG) system that ingests historical email, documents, and structured metadata into a per-tenant vector index, and serves grounded, cited, expert-weighted answers through a chat-style Q&A interface with single sign-on and full audit logging. The platform is AWS-native with a Python/FastAPI backend, Vue.js frontend, OpenSearch/Pinecone vector store, and OpenAI/Anthropic/Bedrock as LLM provider. You will join a senior, cross-functional LATAM-based team where hands-on AI delivery experience not just familiarity is the baseline expectation. You stand up and own the cloud infrastructure and CI/CD foundation the entire project runs on. Your work is on the critical path from day one: delivery begins with environment provisioning. You design for tenant isolation, observability, and security from the outset not as an afterthought. This role requires prior experience operating infrastructure for production AI or LLM-based workloads.
