About the role

About the Role:

We’re building a large-scale synthetic data generation engine to produce realistic observability datasets — metrics, logs, and traces — to support AI/ML training and benchmarking. You will design, implement, and scale pipelines that simulate complex production environments and emit controllable, parameterized telemetry data.

🧠 What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement generators for metrics (CPU, latency, throughput) and logs (structured/unstructured).
  • Build configurable pipelines to control data rate, shape, and anomaly injection.
  • Develop reproducible workload simulations and system behaviors (microservices, failures, recoveries).
  • Integrate synthetic data storage with Prometheus, ClickHouse, or Elasticsearch.
  • Collaborate with ML researchers to evaluate realism and coverage of generated datasets.
  • Optimize for scale and reproducibility using Docker containers.

✅ Who You Are

  • Strong programming skills in Python.
  • Familiarity with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems metrics and log structures.
  • Experience building data pipelines or synthetic data generators.
  • (Bonus) Knowledge of anomaly detection, time-series analysis, or generative ML models.
