About Liveline
Liveline enables dramatic improvements in manufacturing performance thorough a unique application of artificial intelligence to provide real-time process control and predictive assistants for plant personnel. Our focus is on automating complex processes not simply providing dashboards for managers and operators.
Our team combines experts in AI with world-class process engineers who can focus on the last mile with customers: Extracting data from the process and implementing controls on the shop floor. We speak the language of AI but also industrial controllers.
Our hardware and software offerings are scalable and cost-effective whether customers have one production line or hundreds delivering an ROI thats attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises.
We are passionate about democratizing the power of analytics and advanced automation for manufacturers of almost any size. Through our approach producers can de-mystify complex processes and free up valuable technicians to focus on more advanced tasks instead of constantly monitoring and adjusting equipment parameters.
A Liveline Technologies SRE is responsible for the reliability performance observability and operational excellence of Livelines production services. This spans from the factory-floor edge systems to AWS cloud components. You will help build and run resilient infrastructure automate repetitive work with code (Terraform Bash Python) implement monitoring and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana) and participate in incident response/on-call to ensure uptime for mission-critical manufacturing systems. Youll collaborate closely with controls engineers data scientists and software teams to safely deploy changes define SLIs/SLOs and continuously improve availability and latency for real-time process control.
Primary Responsibilities
- Operate Production Systems: Maintain high availability performance and security of Livelines production stack across AWS and plant/edge environments.
- Observability & Monitoring: Stand up tune and maintain Prometheus/Grafana dashboards alerts recording rules and runbooks. Implement logs/traces (e.g. OpenTelemetry) and actionable alerting.
- Infrastructure as Code: Build and manage reproducible infrastructure with Terraform (VPC IAM EC2/EKS/ECS RDS S3 CloudWatch CloudTrail). Apply version control code reviews and plan/apply workflows.
- Automation & Tooling: Write Bash and Python scripts and small services to automate operational tasks health checks failover routines backup/restore and environment bootstrapping.
- NOC / Incident Response: Participate in a follow-the-sun/on-call rotation; triage and resolve incidents lead initial comms and produce blameless postmortems with clear corrective actions.
- SLIs/SLOs/Error Budgets: Define and instrument SLIs (availability latency error rate freshness) set SLOs with stakeholders and manage error budgets to guide release velocity and reliability tradeoffs.
- Networking & Connectivity: Support secure reliable connectivity between factory networks and cloud (site-to-site VPNs routing DNS TLS private subnets security groups network ACLs).
- Databases & Storage: Operate and tune PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB InfluxDB or similar time-series/relational stores; manage backups PITR replication partitioning and performance baselining.
- CI/CD & Release Engineering: Contribute to build/deploy pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) implement canaries/blue-green strategies and enforce change management and rollback plans.
- Security & Compliance: Enforce least-privilege IAM secret management (AWS Secrets Manager/SSM) encryption artifact signing and basic hardening for Linux and Kubernetes workloads.
- Edge & OT Collaboration: Partner with process/controls engineers to ensure reliable data ingestion from PLCs/industrial gateways (e.g. OPC UA/Modbus) and safe deploys to plant edge nodes.
- Cost Capacity & Performance: Right-size compute/storage set budgets/alerts forecast capacity and optimize resource utilization without compromising SLOs.
- Documentation & Runbooks: Author and maintain runbooks architecture diagrams operational playbooks and disaster recovery procedures.
Education and Qualifications:
- Bachelors Degree in IT Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- 5 years of experience in a corporate IT or startup setting

- Service Mesh/Ingress (Envoy NGINX ALB).
- Logging/Tracing: OpenSearch/ELK Loki OpenTelemetry.
- Config Management: Ansible.
- Secrets & PKI: HashiCorp Vault mTLS.
- Edge/Industrial Protocols: OPC UA Modbus MQTT; experience with industrial gateways.
- Compliance exposure (SOC 2 ISO 27001) and change management (ITIL).
