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 an early-career AI/ML Engineer who is excited to grow at the intersection of two disciplines: large-scale distributed systems and machine learning.

In this role you will help build 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 work alongside senior engineers on real production problems, learning how AI features go from a prototype to something that serves reliably at scale.

We are looking for a candidate who is genuinely excited about building with modern AI — LLMs, agents, and retrieval — eager to learn how resilient, high-throughput systems are built, and motivated to grow into an engineer who is strong in both.

What you’ll do

• Contribute to AI-powered features — LLM agents, retrieval, and event intelligence — that operate on high-volume, real-time data, with support and guidance from senior engineers.
• Help build and maintain the systems behind them — prompt and agent orchestration, retrieval pipelines, tool/API integrations, and inference services — writing code, adding tests, and improving observability.
• Learn to reason about latency, throughput, cost, and reliability of LLM-powered services, and apply those lessons in the code you write.
• Help take AI features from prototype toward production, and support the evaluation and monitoring loops that keep them accurate and trustworthy over time.
• Partner with platform, product, and applied-research teams, asking good questions and turning requirements into working code.
• Grow through code review, pairing, and mentorship, and steadily take on more ownership as you develop.

What you’ll bring

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production software.
• Degree in CS/a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Solid programming fundamentals and comfort moving between application code and AI/model code.
• Hands-on experience with modern AI — building something real with LLMs, prompting, retrieval, or agent frameworks.
• Some exposure to distributed systems and how software runs reliably at scale, and eagerness to deepen it.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Personal, academic, or internship projects involving LLM apps, agents, RAG, or backend services.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containers, or Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with the ecosystem — e.g. LLM APIs and frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex, vector databases, and orchestration/streaming tools like Kafka or Airflow.
• Interest in agentic systems, evaluation and guardrails for LLMs, or applied problems like anomaly detection and event correlation.
• Contributions to open-source projects.
