## About the role

30 Days: Learn Vapi’s architecture, production environment, incident history, and reliability practices. Build context with the Infrastructure and product engineering teams, then contribute an initial operational or reliability improvement. 60 Days: Own a reliability workstream across observability, incident response, capacity, performance, or production automation. Reduce manual work and improve how the team detects, understands, and responds to failures.

## What they're looking for

- You are a senior or staff-level software engineer with meaningful SRE, production engineering, or infrastructure experience in distributed systems
- You write production-quality software and have built reliability tooling or automation yourself, rather than relying only on operational process
- You have deep experience with observability, incident response, failure analysis, capacity, and the practices that keep production systems healthy
- You are comfortable with Kubernetes, networking, and cloud infrastructure, and you can debug across application and infrastructure boundaries
- You reason clearly about failure modes and can balance reliability investments with product and engineering velocity
- Experience with real-time networking or telephony, Envoy, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Aurora, ClickHouse, or a Google-style SRE environment is a strong plus
