Role/Team overview
We are seeking an AI Specialist to design, build, and operationalise intelligent systems that enhance Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) platforms and automate large-scale infrastructure operations. This role has a strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.
You will work closely with SRE, platform, and cloud engineering teams, within a global technology support organisation to embed AI-driven decision-making, predictive analytics, and autonomous remediation into infrastructure platforms.
What?you’ll?do
Infrastructure Automation at Scale
- Design and deploy AI-powered automation frameworks for incident response and remediation (self-healing systems).
- Automate repetitive operational workflows across compute, storage, and networking layers.
- Integrate AI capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code ecosystems.
Data Engineering & Observability
- Build and maintain pipelines for high-volume telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces).
- Ensure data quality, labelling, and feature engineering for ML models.
- Leverage observability tools to inform AI systems.
Reliability & Governance
- Define SLIs/SLOs for AI systems embedded in infrastructure workflows.
- Ensure robustness, explainability, and auditability of AI-driven decisions.
- Implement feedback loops to continuously improve model performance.
AI-Driven SRE Enablement
- Develop ML/AI models for anomaly detection, incident prediction, and root cause analysis across distributed systems.
- Implement intelligent alerting systems to reduce noise and improve signal fidelity.
- Build predictive reliability models (e.g., capacity forecasting, failure prediction).
What?you’ll?bring
Essential?criteria:
Strong experience in AI engineering, particularly in operational or systems contexts.
Practical experience of SRE principles (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, incident management).
Desirable?skills and?experience:
Familiarity with LLMs for operational tooling (e.g., incident summarization, runbook automation).
Experience building AIOps or autonomous operations platforms.
