Site Reliability Engineer - AI Agents
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer – AI Agents based in the United States.
This is a highly technical platform engineering role focused on building and operating the infrastructure that powers production-grade AI agent systems at scale. You will work at the intersection of SRE, MLOps, and platform engineering, ensuring that agentic workflows are reliable, observable, and performant across both internal tools and external-facing products. The role involves designing and maintaining cloud-native infrastructure, enabling seamless orchestration and execution of AI workloads in production environments. You will also contribute to developer platform capabilities, building APIs, SDKs, and self-service tools that allow engineering and AI teams to efficiently consume infrastructure services. The environment is fast-paced and innovation-driven, requiring strong ownership, operational discipline, and comfort working with rapidly evolving AI technologies. This position offers the opportunity to shape foundational systems powering next-generation AI agent infrastructure.
Accountabilities:
You will be responsible for designing, operating, and scaling resilient infrastructure systems that support AI agent workloads in production, ensuring reliability, scalability, and developer usability across the platform.
- Design, build, and operate cloud-native infrastructure supporting AI agent execution, orchestration, and model serving at scale
- Ensure reliability, observability, and performance of distributed agentic systems across internal and external-facing products
- Develop platform services, APIs, SDKs, and self-service tooling to enable teams to efficiently consume AI infrastructure capabilities
- Manage and optimize compute, orchestration, and serving layers for AI and ML workloads in production environments
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable safe, fast, and reliable deployment of AI services and agent workflows
- Implement Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform to provision and manage AWS-based infrastructure
- Design monitoring, alerting, and observability systems tailored to AI/ML and agent-based workloads
- Define and enforce reliability patterns, guardrails, and failure recovery mechanisms for LLM and agentic systems
- Collaborate with AI, Data Engineering, and Product teams to transform experimental prototypes into production-ready systems
- Manage Kubernetes-based container orchestration environments, ensuring scalable and efficient workload deployment
- Implement security best practices and access controls across infrastructure and platform services
- Document system architecture, operational procedures, and runbooks to support team knowledge sharing and reliability
- 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or similar production-focused roles
- Hands-on experience supporting ML systems, model serving infrastructure, or MLOps pipelines in production environments
- Strong experience building developer platforms, internal tools, APIs, or SDKs used by engineering teams at scale
- Deep understanding of platform engineering principles, including self-service infrastructure and developer experience design
- Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools, particularly Terraform
- Advanced experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments (Docker)
- Solid cloud infrastructure experience, preferably within AWS environments
- Strong programming and scripting skills (Python preferred, plus bash/shell proficiency)
- Experience designing and operating observability, logging, monitoring, and alerting systems
- Proven experience with incident response, on-call rotations, and production reliability ownership
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across AI, data, and engineering teams
- High ownership mindset with the ability to operate in fast-moving, high-stakes production environments
- Familiarity with AI/agent systems, orchestration frameworks, or LLM-based applications is a strong plus
- Competitive compensation package with performance-based incentives
- Remote-first working model across multiple eligible countries
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage (where applicable)
- Retirement savings plans with employer contribution options
- Flexible PTO policy and company holidays
- Mental health support and wellness programs
- Learning and development budget for technical and professional growth
- Opportunities to work on cutting-edge AI agent infrastructure at global scale
- Inclusive, distributed engineering culture with strong emphasis on ownership and impact
- Regular opportunities to collaborate with high-performing AI and platform engineering teams.
Requirements
The ideal candidate is a strong platform-minded engineer with deep SRE experience, a solid understanding of cloud-native systems, and exposure to AI/ML infrastructure or agent-based systems.
