Senior AI Reliability Engineer

EPAM Systems

Remote · UkraineSalary not disclosedfull-timeEPAM Systems Careers (remote abroad)

EPAM's Operational Intelligence practice is building a new capability: AI Reliability Engineering (AIRE) — applying SRE principles and cloud-native practices to the lifecycle of production AI/ML and LLM systems. As clients move GenAI applications and agentic systems from pilot into production, they discover that classic APM tells them nothing about token latency, cost per request, semantic drift or hallucinations.

Responsibilities

  • Instrument production LLM, RAG and agentic applications with AI telemetry based on OpenTelemetry and APM-native AI monitoring
  • Implement distributed tracing across multi-model chains, agent workflows and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines to profile systemic latency and failure points
  • Define and measure AI-native SLIs and SLOs: time to first token (TTFT), throughput, error and refusal rates, cost per request, semantic drift, hallucination boundaries, contextual accuracy
  • Set up structured semantic logging and prompt/response monitoring for quality analysis
  • Build and run evaluation loops for output quality and safety — golden sets, LLM-as-a-judge, Ragas/DeepEval-style frameworks — and wire them into CI/CD and runtime
  • Track token-based cloud spend, model API rate limits and quota consumption; drive AI cost optimization
  • Configure AI gateways for API load balancing, failover and fallback models across multiple LLM providers
  • Implement guardrails: prompt injection and jailbreak filtering, output compliance, bias and safety constraints
  • Design detection, triage, restore and problem management workflows for AI incidents; integrate autonomous AI agents into RCA to parse logs, form hypotheses and correlate state changes
  • Support rollback, canary and fail-safe patterns for model, prompt and configuration releases; maintain reproducibility through versioning of data, code, prompts and models
