## About the role

We're looking for a world-class Site Reliability Engineer to ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of our AI infrastructure platform. You’ll be building and operating the core systems that power agentic AI at scale. Your mission: keep our ultra-low-latency, stateful, serverless compute engine rock-solid as we serve billions of agent requests for the most sophisticated AI teams in the world.

## What they're looking for

- Deeply technical by default: Fluent across systems, cloud, networking, and distributed computing. You love debugging real failures, not theoretical ones
- AI-fluent operator: You understand how AI systems behave under scale, their unique resource patterns, and the infrastructure challenges of agentic frameworks
- Builder at heart: You want to invent new reliability systems—not just maintain existing ones. You thrive in a zero-to-one infra environment
- High-velocity execution: You have a strong bias for action and a track record of shipping reliable systems quickly with excellent judgment
- Automation-first mindset: You hate repeated manual work and instinctively reach for automation or AI-driven ops to scale yourself
- Calm under pressure: When incidents hit, you operate with clarity, precision, and ownership
