AI Operations Engineer

Location: 10F Valero Telepark

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

At Globe, our goal is to create a wonderful world for our people, business, and nation. By uniting people of passion who believe they can make a difference, we are confident that we can achieve this goal.

Job Description

Responsible for operationalizing AI at scale to improve network performance, service reliability, and operational efficiency. They bridge data science, network engineering, and operations, ensuring AI models move from experimentation into real-time, mission-critical use.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

1. AI Operationalization in Network Ops

• Deploy and operate AI/ML models used for fault prediction, alarm correlation, anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, traffic forecasting, and capacity optimization

• Integrate AI outputs into NOC & NOA Digital Ecosystem tools, OSS/NMS, ITSM, and network automation platforms

• Support closed-loop and human-in-the-loop automation for incident, change, and performance management

• Ensure telecom-grade availability, latency, scalability, and resiliency

2. AI Quality Assurance & Network Safety

• Validate network data sources (KPIs, counters, alarms, logs, traces, telemetry) for accuracy and completeness

• Test AI behavior under normal, peak, and failure scenarios across RAN, transport, core, and cloud domains

• Prevent AI-driven actions that could cause network instability, service degradation, or SLA breaches

• Define and enforce AI quality gates before production rollout

3. Monitoring, Drift & Lifecycle Management

• Continuously monitor model performance, confidence, data drift, and concept drift

• Establish thresholds to trigger alerts, rollback, retraining, or manual intervention

• Manage model versioning, baselines, and performance history across releases

4. Governance, Explainability & Compliance

• Ensure AI recommendations are interpretable and actionable for NOC engineers

• Maintain audit trails for AI decisions affecting network configuration or traffic

• Enforce security, privacy, and regulatory compliance

5. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work with network engineers, data scientists, DevOps, NOC & Operations teams

• Embed AI QA into CI/CD and MLOps pipelines

• Drive continuous optimization of AI models based on live network feedback

NATURE OF PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

An AI Operations & QA Professional faces problems driven by dynamic data, probabilistic models, and high operational risk. Common challenges include poor or inconsistent data quality, model performance degradation caused by data and network changes, and managing false positives or missed incidents that erode operator trust. They must ensure AI decisions are explainable and auditable, especially in regulated, mission-critical environments. Additional issues include safely controlling automation to avoid cascading failures, integrating AI with complex legacy systems, and validating models against rare but severe edge cases. Overall, the role centers on managing uncertainty, reliability, and trust in live AI systems.

REQUIREMENTS

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of AI/ML fundamentals (model types, training, inference, evaluation metrics)

• Hands-on experience with MLOps/AIOps tools and practices (model deployment, monitoring, retraining)

• Data engineering skills: data validation, feature pipelines, data drift detection

• Experience with CI/CD, automation, and Infrastructure as Code

• Proficiency in Python and scripting for testing, monitoring, and automation

• Knowledge of cloud, edge, and container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting mindset

• Clear communication with both technical and operations teams

• Ability to balance innovation with operational risk and reliability

Level of Knowledge: 2, 3
Level 2 – Experienced: 3-4 years of work experience in the desired/closely related area(s)  
Level 3 – Solid: 5-7 years of work experience in the desired/closely related area(s)
