As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll build the platform for product teams, ensuring reliability and automation while integrating AI into engineering workflows.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement infrastructure and tools that empower our product teams to rapidly and securely iterate, emphasizing reliability and automation
- Influence the strategic direction of our infrastructure and operational practices, ensuring that we are well-positioned to scale and support our growing organization

- Offer technical expertise and input to support the continual adoption and modernization of our platform and infrastructure
- Build and deploy AI-powered tooling (autonomous coding agents, LLM-assisted CI/CD, automated incident triage) that makes the engineering org more productive. Think: sandboxed environments where agents can write, test, and verify code without human babysitting
- Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement, encouraging constructive review and adaptation processes
Skills
- Kubernetes expertise, with a strong understanding of its core concepts and the ability to manage and maintain clusters
- Expertise within modern cloud native tools, e.g. ArgoCD for GitOps, Terraform/Crossplane for IaC, and the Grafana LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) for observability
