About the role
- Remote Build is Remote's agentic shift: as AI agents proliferate across HR and Finance stacks, they need to route through the employment infrastructure layer - labour law across 100+ countries, payroll, entity structures, the compliance rail.
- As Senior Site Reliability Engineer for Remote Build, you'll own the operational excellence and infrastructure strategy that makes Build's platform reliable, performant, and safe for customers.
- You'll report to the Engineering Manager and work closely with the Remote Build leadership group, product managers, engineers, and customer success to ensure every engagement scales reliably from day one.
Responsibilities
- Infrastructure as code at scale. Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure-as-code patterns using Terraform and Kubernetes that support both standard connectors and custom builds. Make it easy for engineers to deploy and operate with confidence.
- Observability and incident response. Build and maintain comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems. Lead incident response efforts, conduct post-mortems, and drive continuous improvement in system reliability.
- Performance and cost optimisation. Continuously optimize system performance, resource utilization, and cloud costs. Make recommendations that improve both reliability and unit economics.
- Automation and operational leverage. Identify manual operational toil and systematically eliminate it. Build tools and processes that let teams operate efficiently without scaling headcount.
- Platform reliability and developer experience. Partner with platform teams to ensure APIs, MCP, and CLI are resilient and observable. Give infrastructure feedback that shapes how the platform evolves.
