About the role

This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of ops and platform engineering.

Own site bring-ups end to end
Identify repeat fires and eliminate them - build tooling, pre-deployment checks, and root cause processes that prevent recurrence.
Collaborate with embedded systems, and platform teams to define reliability and deployment requirements.
Design and implement observability (logging, metrics, alerting) across edge devices and cloud infrastructure (AWS).
build fleet-wide visibility that enables data-driven reliability decisions.
Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments.
You'll drive reliability across our sensor fleet - triaging issues in the field, building the systems that prevent them from recurring, and owning the observability that keeps us ahead of problems as we scale.

Experience with edge or on-prem hardware alongside cloud infrastructure.
Strong Linux systems administration - comfortable working over SSH in production, not just dev environments.
Solid networking fundamentals: DNS, firewalls, VPNs, subnets, secure remote access.

Scripting or programming in Python, Go, or Bash for operational tooling.
Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes a plus).
Embedded systems experience - reading firmware logs, understanding hardware-software boundaries, and reasoning about what's happening below the OS is a meaningful edge in this role.
Deeper cloud experience (AWS infrastructure, IAM, networking, observability tooling) is a strong plus for owning the cloud side of the fleet.
Rust or C experience - we have firmware in both
being able to read and reason about low-level code accelerates triage significantly.

We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
We're hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to own the operational health of our connected sensor platform - spanning a live fleet of edge hardware deployed at customer sites and the cloud infrastructure behind it.
Build and maintain fleet management systems: OTA update pipelines, device health tracking, remote diagnostics, and lifecycle tooling.

We offer both long range wireless (1km range) and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.
