Project/Product manager Ariana Project en MADRID, ES

AREA DESCRIPTION:

At Networks Innovation, we are inventing Telefonica’s next generation businesses. Our teams of network hackers, developers, UX specialists, data scientists and agile product managers are tasked to push the limits of traditional telco business through technological, commercial and strategic innovation.
The ARIANA innovation project wants to use AI to monitor automatically Telefonica’s networks data streams in order to identify problems, recommend solutions, automate resolution and predict customer and networks behaviour over time.
The main goal of the project is to build a system that can:
•    Monitor: using generic time series coming from any source (middlebox, radio, web servers, mobile devices, marketing data…) 
•    Detect anomalies: performs automatic anomaly detection.
•    Identify the reason: When an anomaly is detected combine many streams with the topology/context to find the most probable cause.
•    Estimate the business impact:  Understand the importance of the problem. 
•    Notify the right people/teams: Find the right people that have previously resolved the problem. 
•    Propose solutions: If this problem has been seen before identify the possible solution. 
•    Automatically resolve: If the devices can be reconfigured (NFV/SDN) we can automatically apply a fix.
•    Correlate: Automatically correlates time series and extracts hidden relationships (e.g. sales go up when latency goes down). 
•    Optimize: Find bottlenecks or misconfigured points of the network and propose solutions to optimize/resolve the issues
•    Forecast: time-series in advance (faults, QoE etc)
