Job description

Key Job Responsibilities

• Agentic SRE Development: Design and implement core modules of highly reliable and scalable Agentic Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) systems, ensuring seamless integration between LLM reasoning and cloud infrastructure.
• Extreme Risk Modeling: Execute comprehensive extreme risk analysis for hyper‑scale cloud services, applying Agentic AI to identify systemic vulnerabilities and control loop failures.
• Autonomous Chaos Implementation: Develop and deploy autonomous chaos engineering workflows to proactively test and validate system resilience against non‑linear, cascading failures in production.
• Reliability Logic Codification: Translate complex SRE domain knowledge into Agentic logic, specifically focusing on the implementation of tri‑tier memory systems (Semantic, Episodic, Procedural).

Basic Qualifications

• Distributed Systems Implementation: 5+ years of hands‑on experience in the development and maintenance of large‑scale distributed systems within cloud environments.
• Software Engineering: 5+ years of software development experience utilizing modern programming languages such as Golang, Java, Rust, or C++, with a focus on high‑concurrency and fault‑tolerant code.
• System Theory Application: Strong understanding and applied experience with system theories and hazard analysis techniques, specifically STPA (Systems‑Theoretic Process Analysis) and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).
• Reliability & Workload Modeling: Proficient in modeling cloud workload characteristics and system behaviors; ability to abstract raw telemetry (Metrics/Logs/Traces) into formal SRE metrics to detect intent shifts and implicit dependencies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Agentic AI Engineering: Practical experience with Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, ADK), RAG architectures, and Agent-to-Agent (A2A/MCP) protocols. Knowledgeable in context engineering and LLM inference optimization.
• Industry Recognition: Demonstrated, industry‑recognized achievements in the field of SRE, AI, or distributed systems, such as published academic papers, relevant patents, or speaking engagements at major technology conferences (such as EuroSys, SRECon).
