Senior AI Reliability Engineer

EPAM Systems

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

EPAM's Operational Intelligence practice is developing a new capability called AI Reliability Engineering (AIRE) , which applies SRE principles and cloud-native practices throughout the lifecycle of production AI/ML and LLM systems. As clients transition their GenAI applications and agentic systems from pilot to production, they find that traditional APM provides no visibility into token latency, cost per request, semantic drift, or hallucinations.

Responsibilities

  • Add AI telemetry to production LLM, RAG, and agentic applications using OpenTelemetry and APM-native AI monitoring tools
  • Deploy distributed tracing across multi-model chains, agent workflows, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines to identify systemic latency and failure points
  • Establish and track AI-native SLIs and SLOs, including time to first token (TTFT), throughput, error and refusal rates, cost per request, semantic drift, hallucination boundaries, and contextual accuracy
  • Implement structured semantic logging and prompt/response monitoring to support quality analysis
  • Create and maintain evaluation loops for output quality and safety using golden sets, LLM-as-a-judge methods, and Ragas/DeepEval-style frameworks, integrating them into CI/CD and runtime environments
  • Monitor token-based cloud spend, model API rate limits, and quota usage while driving AI cost optimization efforts
  • Set up AI gateways to manage API load balancing, failover, and fallback models across multiple LLM providers
  • Build guardrails covering prompt injection and jailbreak filtering, output compliance, and bias and safety constraints
  • Develop detection, triage, restoration, and problem management workflows for AI incidents, incorporating autonomous AI agents into root cause analysis to parse logs, generate hypotheses, and correlate state changes
  • Enable rollback, canary, and fail-safe patterns for model, prompt, and configuration releases, while maintaining reproducibility through versioning of data, code, prompts, and models
