About the role

PagerDuty’s Operations Cloud runs on a platform that ingests billions of signals and turns them into real-time action for thousands of customers. We’re looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer who lives at the intersection of two disciplines: large-scale distributed systems and applied AI.

In this role you will design and ship AI systems that run in production at PagerDuty’s scale — powering Incident Management AI Agents, event intelligence, and the LLM-powered capabilities embedded across our platform. You’ll own the full lifecycle, from framing the problem to serving reliably at scale.

We are looking for a candidate who is genuinely passionate about building with modern AI — LLMs, agents, and retrieval — but grounded in the realities of building resilient, high-throughput systems.

What you’ll do

• Design and build AI-powered features — LLM agents, retrieval, and event intelligence — that operate on high-volume, real-time event streams, from problem framing through production deployment and monitoring.
• Architect and own the systems behind them: agent and prompt orchestration, retrieval pipelines, tool/API integrations, and low-latency inference and evaluation at scale.
• Reason about consistency, throughput, fault tolerance, and cost across services that must stay reliable under bursty, unpredictable load.
• Take AI features from prototype to production, establishing the evaluation, guardrail, observability, and improvement loops that keep them accurate and trustworthy over time.
• Partner with platform, product, and applied-research teams to define what “good” looks like and to integrate AI cleanly into existing services.
• Raise the bar through example, reviews and mentorship, and help shape the team’s technical direction.

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building and operating production distributed systems (high-throughput services, streaming/event-driven architectures, or large-scale data platforms).
• Hands-on experience building and shipping AI systems in production — LLM-powered a
