At Anyscale, we're on a mission to democratize distributed computing and make it accessible to software developers of all skill levels. We’re commercializing Ray, a popular open-source project that's creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning. Companies like OpenAI, Uber, Spotify, Instacart, Cruise, and many more, have Ray in their tech stacks to accelerate the progress of AI applications out into the real world.

With Anyscale, we’re building the best place to run Ray, so that any developer or data scientist can scale an ML application from their laptop to the cluster without needing to be a distributed systems expert.

• Own a centralized correlation and alerting capability that turns telemetry into actionable detections.
• Own incident response: runbooks, escalation paths, and coordination during an incident, across corporate and production environments.
• Drive detection of anomalous activity across the environments we run, including our Kubernetes footprint.
• Tune detections to keep signal high and noise low, and measure detection…
