Job Description
At we are building the worlds first platform to create full-stack on-chain applications through natural language. Our mission is to make building software as simple as a conversation transforming ideas into live applications instantly. We are a cross-functional team of engineers and researchers building the AI that will power this new paradigm. To do this we need to ensure the platform that performs this magic is exceptionally reliable fast and scalable.
About the Role
As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer you will be the guardian of the user experience. You are not just keeping servers online; you are ensuring the end-to-end reliability of the core idea-to-application journey. Your focus will be on the availability reliability and scalability of our user-facing products and the complex AI-driven microservices that power them. You will be deeply embedded with our product and engineering teams acting as the critical bridge between our ambitious AI vision and a rock-solid production reality.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who thinks about reliability from the users perspective and wants to provide the best developer experience for your fellow engineers and wants to solve novel challenges in a rapidly evolving AI/ML environment.
What Youll Do
- Own Product Reliability: Take ownership of the availability and reliability of the platform. Youll define our Service Level Objectives (SLOs) provide a reliable Continuous Delivery (CD) platform and work across teams to meet and exceed them.
- Build Deep Product Insight: Design implement and manage our observability stack (Datadog Opentelemetry distributed tracing logs metrics) to provide high-fidelity signals into the health of our services and most importantly the user experience.
- Engineer Scalable Solutions: Dive deep into our architecture to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks single points of failure and sources of toil. Youll write codeprimarily in Rust Go and Typescript (we use Pulumi)to automate operations and build robust self-healing systems. You will setup routing and service mesh configurations (e.g. Istio).
- Champion Reliability from Day One: Partner with software engineers during design and code reviews to proactively bake in reliability scalability and operability. You will be the expert voice that helps the team build for production from the start.
- Lead and Learn from Incidents: Coordinate the incident response process for our production services. Youll lead blameless post-mortems that drive meaningful improvements across our systems and processes.
- Participate in an On-Call Rotation: As a key member of the team you will be part of a compensated on-call rotation focused on coordinating incident response and ensuring platform stability.
Who You Are
- You are a product-minded engineer with proven experience as a Site Reliability Engineer with a strong focus on user-facing applications and distributed service architectures.
- You have deep expertise in building and running modern observability stacks (e.g. Datadog Opentelemetry) and believe in data-driven decision-making.
- You are a proficient software developer. You have experience designing and writing production-grade applications and automation ideally in a systems and infra language like Rust or Go and are open to use Python Typescript or Bash.
- You are a methodical troubleshooter capable of systematically diagnosing complex issues across the entire stack from networking protocols (TCP/IP DNS TLS) up to the application layer.
- You understand the complexities of modern CICD pipelines and have experience building and maintaining them.
- You thrive in a collaborative environment and possess excellent communication skills capable of explaining complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.
Bonus
- You have experience with the reliability and performance challenges of AI/ML-powered systems or large-scale data processing pipelines.
