About the role
- The role requires deep operational expertise in Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code, along with practical experience running AI/LLM systems in production.
- If your instinct when facing a repetitive task is to script it, agent-ify it, or delete it entirely - you'll fit right in.
- You ship things and stand behind them. - Ownership: you take problems from ambiguity to resolution without waiting for a ticket, a spec, or permission.
Responsibilities
- you'd rather create a tool, platform, or automation than run a manual process twice.
Nice to have
- Data-pipeline and streaming/CDC experience.
- Security or identity background

- Prior experience at an early-stage startup.
- Strong Kubernetes operational experience - running it in production, not just deploying to it.
- Demonstrable adoption of an AI-First mindset and tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf).
- Daily use of at least one AI development tool is a must.
- Fluency with infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, and modern CI/CD
Skills
- 5-8 years of professional experience in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, leveraging AI-powered debugging and observability tooling.
- Mentor engineers in adopting AI-first operational practices and automation-by-default culture.
