AI Automation Engineer-SRE Focus (Early Career)

Focus: Generative AI, Agentic AI, Automation & Reliability Engineering

Role Overview
We're hiring an early-career AI Automation Engineer to help build the next generation of AI-driven automation and reliability platforms. This role is ideal for a recent graduate from a top Computer Science or Computer Engineering program who has very strong hands-on experience with AI and Generative AI through internships, research, labs, or real-world projects.

You'll work at the intersection of Generative AI, Agentic AI, automation, and reliability engineering, building systems that detect issues, reason about them, and take action-often autonomously. Think AI agents, self-healing systems, intelligent runbooks, and automated incident response at real enterprise scale.

This is a great role if you love:
* Applying AI to real production problems
* Building systems that think, reason, and act
* Learning SRE and platform engineering hands-on, with strong mentorship

What You'll Do
* Build Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions that automate system monitoring, incident analysis, and remediation
* Develop AI-powered assistants and runbooks that guide engineers during incidents
* Create autonomous workflows that analyze logs, metrics, and events and take corrective actions
* Write clean, production-ready automation code (Python, scripts, APIs)
* Partner with engineers to improve system reliability, performance, and observability
* Learn core SRE fundamentals: reliability, monitoring, incident response, and postmortems

What You'll Bring
Experience
* 2+ years of experience (can include internships, co-ops, research, and strong project work.
* At least 1-2 internships and/or co-ops required. Hands on work
experience is essential.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field

AI & Engineering Skills (Must Have)
* Very strong experience with AI and Generative AI
* LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, agents, or AI automation projects
* Hands-on coding experience in Python (or similar language)
* Experience building or experimenting with:
* AI agents or autonomous workflows
* AI-powered tools, bots, or decision systems
* Tech Stack
* Core programming
* Python, SQL, Java/Scala/JavaScript, Git, GitHub, VSCode

* Data Analysis
* NumPy

* Autonomous agents
* LangChain, OpenAI APIs/Azure OpenAI, MCP

* Data Engineering
* Snowflake, Kafka, Airflow

* Database
* Oracle, PostgreSQL

* Monitoring
* ELK Stack, Grafana, Prometheus

* Collaboration: Jeera, Microsoft Teams

Nice to Have (Not Required)
* Exposure to cloud platforms, containers or Oracle EBS and/or Oracle Fusion Cloud, or DevOps tools
* Familiarity with logs, metrics, or monitoring concepts
* Experience using AI for automation, reliability, or system analysis

Why This Role Is Different
* You'll work on real AI systems in production, not demos
* Strong focus on learning, mentorship, and growth
* Opportunity to shape how AI automates and improves complex systems
* Direct impact using cutting-edge Generative and Agentic AI
