About the Team

Keysight’s Applied AI Autonomy Initiative is building a next-generation orchestration framework that enables AI agents to reason, adapt, and coordinate across complex engineering workflows.

The team works at the intersection of AI systems, platform engineering, and high-assurance software, focusing on how autonomous systems can be safely validated, governed, and deployed into production environments used by engineers worldwide.

Our Barcelona R&D hub brings together experienced engineers, researchers, and system architects in a highly collaborative, international environment.

About the Role

As Senior Agentic DevOps Engineer – Runtime Validation & Governance, you will design and implement the runtime validation, control, and governance layer that determines how AI-generated logic is tested, verified, and promoted into production.

This is not a traditional DevOps role. You will work on advanced deployment and validation pipelines where autonomous agents, simulations, and safety controls are first-class citizens. Your work ensures that AI-driven orchestration remains explainable, reversible, traceable, and auditable before impacting live engineering systems.

Responsibilities:

Design sandboxed and containerised execution environments for testing AI-generated logic prior to deployment

Build and maintain multi-stage validation and release pipelines (sandbox validation gated staging monitored production)

Define runtime health metrics, confidence thresholds, and promotion gates for autonomous agent outputs

Develop regression and continuous verification frameworks to detect drift, instability, or unexpected behaviours in agent-driven workflows

Implement telemetry, observability, and traceability pipelines capturing agent decisions, validation results, and anomalies

Design snapshotting and rollback mechanisms to safely restore verified system states

Ensure auditability, reproducibility, and governance of all agent-generated artefacts

Collaborate closely with AI researchers, platform architects, safety engineers, and UI teams

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, systems engineering, or high-assurance infrastructure

Strong experience designing CI/CD pipelines for complex, production-grade systems

Proven background in sandboxing, controlled deployments, validation pipelines, or safety-critical systems

Strong programming skills in Python and C or C++

Experience with runtime monitoring, telemetry, rollback, and failure recovery mechanisms

Solid understanding of distributed systems and production reliability

Desired Qualifications

Experience with AI agent frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, LangChain, or similar)

Exposure to simulation environments, HPC systems, or digital twins

Knowledge of regression testing strategies, differential validation, or confidence-based promotion models

Background in autonomous systems, robotics, or AI governance

Experience working in regulated, high-assurance, or safety-critical environments
