Scope

The Network OSS team at Maersk is expanding into AI-driven network operations, focusing on building intelligent, autonomous systems that enhance the management of data networks across Core, Edge, and Cloud locations (offices, warehouses, terminals, vessels, data centres, cloud environments, etc.) and the perimeter services that secure them. This role focuses on leveraging Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and agentic frameworks to develop next-gen network observability, automation, and decision-making platforms.

Key areas include but are not limited to:

• AI-Augmented Operations : Develop agentic AI solutions using LLMs, LangChain, and vector stores to enable intelligent automation, natural language interfaces, and autonomous troubleshooting across network services.
• Prompt Engineering & Reasoning : Design structured and dynamic prompts, chains, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows to enable context-aware responses and insights from large-scale network data.
• Intelligent Tooling & Platform Integration : Build AI-enabled internal tools for use cases like configuration analysis, alert summarization, root cause inference, change impact prediction, and knowledge extraction from telemetry and logs.
• Observability & Insights : Use GenAI to augment monitoring and assurance by generating explanations, recommendations, and summaries from network events, alarms, and metrics.
• Integration with Core Network Stack : Apply AI capabilities across domains such as:
  • Wireless Transport: Satellite | 4G/LTE | 5G
  • IoT Networking: Industrial Wi-Fi
  • WAN: Internet | IP/MPLS | Next-Gen/SD WAN
  • LAN: DC Networking | SDN | Fixed & Wireless
  • Perimeter: Load balancers | NG Firewalls | Security Service Edge

This role is at the intersection of networks and intelligence, aiming to transform Maersk's OSS ecosystem through LLM-based platforms that are autonomous, explainable, and user-friendly.

• Assist in developing prompt flows, vector store integrations, and LLM-based applications using LangChain or similar frameworks.
• Help build and maintain APIs and tools that leverage AI for summarization, correlation, or diagnostics.
• Contribute to the development of natural language interfaces and self-service tooling for operations teams.
• Follow secure coding practices, maintain high-quality code, and participate in peer reviews and testing.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Python with hands-on experience building backend services or tools.
• Familiarity with GenAI frameworks such as LangChain, OpenAI SDK, or HuggingFace (project/internship experience acceptable).
• Understanding of prompt engineering , embeddings, and retrieval-based architectures (RAG).
• Basic experience working with vector stores and RESTful APIs.
• Exposure to CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and containerization (Docker).
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to learn and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a willingness to work in a cross-functional team.

Bonus:

• Experience with LangGraph, agent workflows, or MLOps practices.
