Agent Infrastructure Engineer: The New DevOps
from My Weird Prompts
Agentic AI is no longer just tinkering with APIs — it's becoming a full engineering discipline with specialized roles, salary bands, and certification paths. In this episode, we break down the three major skill silos emerging in the field, with a deep focus on the Agent Infrastructure Engineer — the DevOps equivalent for multi-agent systems. From designing supervisor topologies and implementing circuit breakers for LLMs to building observability stacks that track token consumption and agent drift, we explore what this role actually looks like day-to-day. We also cover Agent Safety Engineering and why testing emergent failure modes is the new QA frontier, plus the training requirements that separate prototype builders from production engineers.
