Job Summary
In this role, you own the reliability of systems, automate manual processes, define SLOs, manage the Kubernetes cluster, and implement security measures to enhance system performance.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You join the Platform team and own the reliability of the systems our AI agents run on.
- This is a reliability engineering role: you treat operations as a software problem, so where others run a manual procedure, you write the automation that makes it unnecessary.
- You define what "healthy" means in numbers, measure it, and hold the line on it in production.
- When something breaks, you bring the system back and then make sure it cannot break the same way twice.
- Define and own SLOs and SLIs for the platform and manage error budgets against them.
- Carry on-call, act as incident commander, and run blameless post-incident reviews that produce real follow-up.
- Run production readiness and capacity planning ahead of demand, not after the page fires.
- Run and harden the Kubernetes platform (Helm, GitOps, service mesh) and the cloud underneath it (Terraform, multi-region).
- Own observability: metrics, logs, and distributed tracing, so problems surface before users feel them.
- Eliminate toil through automation, self-healing systems, and automated remediation.
- Drive cost visibility and FinOps practice across cloud and LLM spend.
- Bake security into the platform: least-privilege access, secrets management, policy as code, and vulnerability management.
- Use coding agents to build automation, write infrastructure code, and reason through failure modes faster.
- Automate operational toil and incident workflows with AI in the loop.
- Collaborate with the product team to give real-world feedback on Blockbrain's own tools from an operator's perspective.
- Bleiben Sie neugierig auf aufkommende KI-Fähigkeiten und wenden Sie diese auf Plattform- und Zuverlässigkeitsarbeit an.
