PRISM is a joint powers authority (JPA) that provides risk management and coverage programs for public entities throughout California, including 93% of California counties, 77% of California cities, 30 joint powers authorities, educational organizations, special districts, housing authorities, fire districts and 10 national participants through PRISM’s captive insurance company. Our organization is member driven meaning that our public entity members have numerous opportunities available to participate in the governance of our JPA.
One of PRISM’s greatest assets is its staff. PRISM employees are smart, creative, hard-working, and passionate individuals working in areas ranging from member services, risk control, claims administration, information technology, accounting, and risk pool administration. Working here requires energy, commitment, and teamwork. At the same time, we offer a great work environment built upon our Core Values of People, Families, Trust, Integrity, and Growth. We are looking for an individual who shares these values to join the PRISM team.
The Senior IT Specialist (Cloud Infrastructure and AI Solutions Specialist) is a hands-on technical resource assigned to the Digital Team and shared across the IT Department. The position provides cloud and platform expertise for applications, integrations, and various initiatives. PRISM operates workloads across AWS and Microsoft Azure;, Candidates are not expected to have equal depth in both platforms on day one — strong experience in one cloud platform, sound fundamentals, and demonstrated ability to learn new technologies matter most. Additionally, this position will provide support, along with other IT team members, for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Fabric environments.
This is an implementation and administration role, not a dedicated cloud architect, infrastructure engineer, database administrator, data engineer, or machine-learning engineer position. PRISM also expects to continue using third-party vendors for large-scale application hosting; this role provides informed internal technical review and coordination rather than replacing those relationships.
As PRISM's use of AI-enabled applications and exploration grows, this role is expected to increasingly help deploy and support hosted AI services within guardrails set by IT leadership. This is a growing part of the position; the role is not expected to build, train, or fine-tune machine-learning models.
A first review of applications will be conducted tentatively on September 8th, and weekly thereafter until the position is filled. Tentative interviews are scheduled for the week of September 15th.
