ROLE SUMMARY

We are looking for a data-driven professional with strong AI expertise to join our Performance & AI Insights team within the Infrastructure & Automation organization. In this role, you will design, develop, and operationalize machine learning and AI solutions that transform raw service and infrastructure data into predictive, actionable insights. This position is critical in leveraging advanced AI techniques to drive innovation and deliver measurable business outcomes.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Develop and deploy advanced predictive and analytical models that deliver actionable insights to enhance service performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. These models will proactively anticipate and mitigate risks—such as service disruptions, performance degradation, capacity constraints, anomalies, compliance breaches, and reliability concerns—while enabling data-driven decisions that optimize IT operations, regulatory processes, and overall business outcomes.

• Embed machine-learned, AI-driven capabilities into core business and infrastructure workflows to enhance resilience and efficiency.

• Leverage modern AI/ML techniques—including supervised/unsupervised learning, time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)—to improve automated decision-making across multiple domains.

• Apply machine learning platforms (e.g., Dataiku, Azure ML, AWS SageMaker) to identify patterns, predict risks, and optimize KPIs for infrastructure, performance, and regulatory adherence.

• Extend advanced analytics and AI techniques using graph-based analysis for dependency mapping and impact prediction.

• Integrate domain-specific AI tools (e.g., ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence) to automate classification and enhance knowledge management across all business areas.

• Monitor and continuously improve data quality across diverse platforms using AI-based validation and anomaly detection to ensure integrity and trustworthiness.

• Partner with Data Engineers to define semantic relationships between IT assets, financial entities, and compliance controls, integrating data from CMDB, monitoring systems, cloud platforms, audit logs and other data sources.

• Partner with stakeholders to identify AI integration opportunities and ensure measurable adoption across platforms.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in data science, business, or related field with 5+ years of relevant experience.

• Data Analysis & Machine Learning – Strong statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and ML algorithm expertise.

• Proficiency in Python or R, SQL, and building scalable data pipelines.

• Experience with AI/ML libraries: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, and Hugging Face Transformers.

• Skills in feature engineering, RAG, prompt engineering and model fine-tuning.

• Strong understanding of IT operations data (e.g., incidents, changes, monitoring metrics) and infrastructure KPIs. 

• Experience with anomaly detection, forecasting, correlation methods, and root cause analysis using AI/ML. 

• Experience with Dataiku, Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, or Google Vertex AI for scalable deployment.

• Familiarity with Docker, FastAPI, and CI/CD for ML pipelines.

• Experience with Python, PowerShell, REST APIs or similar tools to automate workflows. 

• Experience with machine learning frameworks, Agentic AI, genAI.

• Background building and managing MLOps pipelines, including automated training, deployment, monitoring, retraining and drift detection.

• Exposure to AIOps concepts and tools (Dynatrace, Splunk, etc.).

• Ability to work with Data Engineers to define relationships between configuration items, assets and events. 

• Excellent communication skills – able to translate data into insights and insights into action. 

• Comfortable working in cross-functional teams and collaborating with data engineers, platform owners, and service leads.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Dataiku or similar low-code ML platforms. 

• Knowledge of ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence and Now Assist. 

• Background in infrastructure operations, service management, or performance analytics. 

• Understanding ITIL, infrastructure performance metrics, and operational processes.
