AI Engineer — Customer Success & S ervices   (F5)   Location:   Hybrid   ( Hyderabad )   Why this role matters   As F5 scales its SaaS and subscription offerings, intelligent automation and AI-driven experiences across support and success workflows are mission-critical. The AI Engineer will design, build, and   operate   the core ML/AI systems that power self-service, agent assist, knowledge automation, routing, summarization, and safety/observability tooling — delivering measurable improvements in CSAT, deflection, MTTR and agent productivity.     Position summary   You will lead the technical vision and delivery   for   AI systems across the Customer Success & Support portfolio (myF5, case management, knowledge, omni-channel).   You’ll   translate product needs into robust machine learning architectures, own model lifecycle and   MLOps , implement safe RAG/LLM systems and observability, and partner closely with Product, Support Ops, Security/Compliance, and external vendor platforms to ship production-grade solutions. You are both a hands-on engineer able to deliver production code and an influencer who mentors engineers and sets engineering standards.

Define technical architecture and roadmap for AI capabilities in   support   workflows: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), LLM-based assistants, intent classification, summarization, knowledge   generation/maintenance,   and conversational systems.   Lead end-to-end model lifecycle: data pipelines, training, evaluation, fine-tuning, validation,   deployment   and continuous monitoring ( MLOps ).   Build and   operate   production-quality ML services and APIs (scalable inference, caching, batching, latency SLAs); write   performant , well-tested code ( pri marily Python).   Design and implement safety,   pri vacy, and governance controls for generative systems: hallucination mitigation,   provenance/explainability,   access control, logging/audit, and data protection (including FedRAMP/GovCloud considerations where required).   Full-Stack Development: Design, develop, and  maintain  scalable systems, combining frontend development using React/Next.js with TypeScript and backend development with Java (S pri n g Boot, Hibernate) and  additional  backend languages like Node, Python, or Go.    Backend Expertise with Java: Build high-performance, scalable backend systems using modern Java frameworks (S pri n g Boot, Hibernate). Ensure APIs, microservices, and integrations are robust, efficient, and secure.    Cloud Services: Implement and  maintain  cloud-native applications on Azure or AWS,  leveraging  managed services such as computing, networking, databases (e.g., Postgres, DynamoDB, Cosmos DB), and object storage (e.g., S3, Azure Blob).    Proficient in implementing robust testing strategies for Java
