About this event

REGISTER ON LUMA
​AI demos are easy. Building AI systems that actually work in production - in real time, under pressure, with messy data and real users - is where things get interesting.

At this OSA Community meetup, engineers and practitioners will share how they’re building real-time analytics and AI systems at production scale: streaming pipelines, real-time databases, feature stores, event-driven architectures, and the open-source technologies making it all possible.

If you work on data infrastructure, AI applications, observability, streaming systems, or just like hearing how modern systems are really built, you’ll fit right in.
​Food and drink are provided!

​​​​​Description of the Talks

​Is It Safe? Letting AI Touch Production Data Without The Tears

​Speaker: Robert Hodges, CEO @ Altinity
​Abstract: Let's talk about AI safety. On June 2nd our first support case arrived in which a user's AI agent deleted a production table. It's a moment we've long anticipated. This talk presents practical ways to give AI access to production data while avoiding the dangers. We'll focus on three specific problems: ensuring only authorized agents access data, preventing accidental loss, and keeping proprietary information out of hosted LLMs. The solutions range from here-and-now approaches like OAuth and MCP to long-range opportunities like local models. Letting AI agents range free over data is the dream. Let's do the engineering to make it real.

​AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents

​Speaker: Éamon Ryan, Senior Principal Field Engineer @ Grafana
​Abstract: ​​​AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
