AI Operations Engineer

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) **Competencies** * Strong foundation in **software build, testing, deployment, and monitoring** * Solid understanding of **version control, automation, and deployment strategies** * Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively * Willingness and capability to **learn quickly and adapt** to new tools and technologies * Strong collaboration skills with a **customer-first mindset** * Clear communication skills to ensure alignment on **security, scalability, and reliability** requirements * Ability to understand **system architecture** and interact with multiple application components written in different programming languages **Equal Opportunity Employer** Globe’s hiring process promotes equal opportunity to applicants, Any form of discrimination is not tolerated throughout the entire employee lifecycle, including the hiring process such as in posting vacancies, selecting, and interviewing applicants.
