You should also have excellent debugging skills to help identify and fix, for instance, deployment issues of containerized applications. You enjoy implementing utility scripts in BASH and Python to automate repeatable tasks that are commonly associated with ETL processes. You should be familiar with the process of cleaning, formatting, and organizing large data collections in order to create quality data sets that can be used for model training, You are also familiar with Docker technology principles and the required steps for containerizing applications. In this team, you will jump-start the process of using AI to transform client IT systems and guide them through their adoption of AI for IT Operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help clients appreciate the power value of AIOps to transform their IT Operations and progress them from a lead to a win for IBM

• Break that use case(s) down into discrete MVPs (minimal viable product).
• Collect, prepare, and augment large data sets to train models.
• Work with new datasets, client systems, and tools.
• Build and validate new models.
• Deploy, monitor and retrain models.
• Scope Application definition
• Automate repeated IT tasks, driven through insights from the AI Models.
