Senior AIOpsML Engineer
About the role
Job Description
Senior AIOpsML Engineer:
Must Have Technical/Functional Skills:
This position involves building and scaling a best-in-class AIOps function designed to transform raw observability signals into automated intelligence. As a Senior AIOps ML Engineer, the successful candidate will own the platform's intelligence layer-architecting and operating the Lakehouse, engineering six purpose-built data marts, and training machine learning models to power anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, forecasting, and auto-remediation.
Operating at the intersection of data engineering, machine learning, and observability, this role requires translating high-cardinality telemetry from the Open Telemetry (OTel) pipeline into structured, query-optimized mart schemas, and developing the models that make those datasets actionable.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Data Mart Ownership & Architecture:
Responsibility includes designing, building, and maintaining six domain-specific data marts on top of a central Lakehouse (Delta Lake / Apache Iceberg). Each mart serves as a curated, schema-versioned, and query-optimized layer consumed by ML models, dashboards, and on-call runbooks.

Primary ML Use-Cases:
APM
Latency histograms, error rates, trace spans, SLO burn
Anomaly detection, SLO forecasting, auto-triage
Infrastructure
CPU, memory, disk, network, host & container metrics
Capacity forecasting, saturation prediction, drift detection
Security
Auth events, threat signals, access logs, CVE feeds
Threat classification, anomalous-access detection, UEBA
Log
Structured & unstructured logs, error fingerprints
Log clustering, error pattern extraction, NLP classification
User Experience:
RUM, Core Web Vitals, session replays, journey events
Frustration scoring, conversion prediction, UX regression
Business KPI
Revenue, conversions, order volume, product metrics
KPI correlation, incident business-impact quantification
Core Responsibilities:
Lakehouse Architecture & Data Engineering:
-
Schema Design: Design and evolve the Lakehouse schema (Delta Lake / Apache Iceberg) for multi-domain observability data at petabyte scale.
-
Pipeline Engineering: Build and maintain robust ingestion pipelines from the OTel Collector through Kafka to the Lakehouse, ensuring exactly-once semantics and strict schema enforcement.
-
Data Transformation: Implement dbt transformation models to generate mart-ready, denormalized fact and dimension tables for each of the six domains.
-
Data Quality Governance: Define and enforce data quality contracts, establishing SLAs for data freshness, completeness, and cardinality budgets per mart.
-
Performance Optimization: Optimize query performance utilizing partitioning strategies, Z-ordering, bloom filters, and materialized views tailored for time-series patterns.
ML Model Development & AIOps:
-
AIOps Modeling: Design, train, and deploy machine learning models for streaming multivariate anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, and incident forecasting across all six mart domains.
-
Streaming Inference: Build low-latency streaming inference pipelines (Flink / Spark Streaming) for real-time anomaly scoring on APM, infrastructure, and security signals.
-
Log Intelligence: Develop sop histicated log intelligence models-including clustering (DRAIN3 / LogBERT), NLP classification, and error deduplication-over the Log mart.
-
Behavioral Analytics: Implement unsupervised and semi-supervised methods for User Experience frustration detection and KPI correlation analysis.
-
Feature Store Management: Own the ML feature store, managing feature engineering, versioning, backfill pipelines, and point-in-time correct joins for training datasets.
-
Model Lifecycle MLOps: Instrument model performance tracking, including drift detection, accuracy monitoring, and automated retraining triggers.
AIOps Platform & Productionization:
-
Workflow Orchestration: Design and operate the end-to-end AIOps workflow, spanning signal ingestion, feature computation, model inference, alert routing, and auto-remediation hooks.
-
Model Serving Infrastructure: Build high-performance model serving infrastructure-supporting real-time REST/gRPC endpoints and async batch scoring-with strict p99 latency SLOs.
-
Incident Tool Integration: Integrate AIOps insights with incident management platforms (Pager Duty, Opsgenie) and internal runbooks to deliver enriched, noise-reduced alerting.
-
Business Impact Quantification: Define and publish metrics from the Business KPI mart to quantify the blast radius, revenue loss, and affected user counts for each incident.
Security & Compliance Observability:
-
Security Mart Collaboration: Partner with the Security team to build the Security mart schema, including threat feed ingestion, UEBA baselines, and CVE correlation pipelines.
-
Threat Detection: Train anomalous-access and lateral-movement detection models, tuning precision/recall thresholds in collaboration with the SOC team.
-
Compliance & Governance: Ensure all data handling across the marts adheres strictly to data residency requirements, PII masking standards, and audit-log protocols.
Collaboration & Engineering Standards:
-
Schema Contracts: Define telemetry schema contracts with the OTel Instrumentation team to guarantee high upstream signal quality for downstream ML models.
-
Organizational Standards: Author ML platform RFCs and contribute actively to observability data model standards across the broader engineering organization.
-
Mentorship & Reviews: Mentor junior ML and data engineers, and conduct rigorous design reviews for new mart schemas and model architectures.
