Join the Public Cloud Infrastructure team to help improve how we monitor and maintain our large-scale cloud environments. You will work on a project focused on proactive incident detection by analyzing logs from our infrastructure components, such as OpenStack, networks, and hypervisors. This role combines machine learning, LLMs, and site reliability engineering (SRE) practices to help us spot issues before they affect our customers.
What you'll do#
- Study current log analysis methods and explore machine learning, statistical techniques, and LLM capabilities.
- Define project goals and success metrics.
- Collect and structure logs from cloud infrastructure to build datasets for model development.
- Analyze historical incidents to find precursor signals.
- Design and build a Python prototype to automate log analysis and detect anomalies like error spikes or behavioral changes.
- Use LLMs to summarize and prioritize detected anomalies for technical teams.
- Test your solution against historical data, measure performance, and adjust detection thresholds.
- Integrate your prototype into existing monitoring tools, document your work, and present your findings.
What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing a master's degree in computer science, software engineering, AI, cloud computing, or a related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python.
- Basic knowledge of machine learning and data analysis libraries like pandas or scikit-learn.
- Comfort working in Linux environments and using the command line.
- Experience with academic projects in development, AI, or data analysis.
- Ability to read technical documentation in English.
- Curiosity, rigor, and an analytical approach to solving problems.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team.
- Preference for candidates with experience in OpenStack, networking (TCP/IP, routing), observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch), LLMs (RAG, prompt engineering), or CI/CD practices.
Location & details#
- Location: Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
- Duration: 4 to 6 months.
- Modality: On-site.
- This is a paid, full-time internship.
