Responsibilities
- Define architecture for agentic AI platforms supporting network troubleshooting, operational assistance, incident analysis, and dynamic visualization.
- Build tool-using AI agents that reason over telemetry, configurations, events, alerts, logs, and operational knowledge.
- Establish evaluation frameworks, guardrails, correctness standards, and gateway services for production agents.
- Design fault detection, alerting, suppression, analysis, and automated-remediation systems.
- Develop closed-loop workflows for proactive detection, guided investigation, and safe remediation.
- Architect high-volume streaming and event-processing platforms for network and security telemetry.
- Create reusable services for search, scheduling, observability, data protection, and operational integrations.
- Integrate network and security platforms with SIEM, IT service-management, collaboration, and customer-notification systems.
- Design resilient, observable, cost-efficient, multi-cloud platforms across AWS and GCP.
- Lead performance, scalability, reliability, cloud-cost optimization, and architecture-review initiatives.
- Partner with product and engineering leaders to turn AI capabilities into customer outcomes.
