AI/ML Observability Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a passionate and hands-on AI/ML Engineer to accelerate our Enterprise Observability strategy. This role will design, build, and operationalize AI/ML capabilities that enhance end to end telemetry pipelines, anomaly detection, intelligent alerting, and proactive system resiliency.

You will work at the intersection of AI/ML engineering, Observability platforms, and automation, developing solutions that improve detection, diagnosis, and prevention of operational issues across distributed systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deploy AI/ML models supporting anomaly detection, baselining, event correlation, and predictive operational analytics.

• Build and integrate AI‑enabled capabilities into enterprise Observability platforms, including Grafana, APM/RUM tools, network telemetry systems, and data observability tools.

• Develop AI Agents that can autonomously triage issues, recommend corrective actions, and initiate automated remediation workflows to reduce recovery time and improve system resilience.

• Implement self‑healing automation using AI‑driven decisioning, integrating with orchestration frameworks, service APIs, and infrastructure automation pipelines.

• Engineer and maintain real‑time and batch data pipelines using Snowflake ML Jobs, Snowflake Cortex, streams, tasks, and UDFs.

• Implement and manage OpenTelemetry‑based telemetry ingestion for logs, metrics, traces, and spans across distributed systems.

• Build asynchronous Python APIs and services for model inferencing and operational integration.

• Enhance observability intelligence with AI-powered capabilities such as root‑cause acceleration, chatbot/search enablement, and automated insights.

• Contribute to SLO/SLI modeling, Golden Signals instrumentation, and Observability NFR adoption.

• Collaborate across engineering, SRE, platform and business teams to embed proactive intelligence and Observability standards throughout the ecosystem.
