Job summary

Blitzy is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer for its Public Sector team to ensure reliability and operational excellence of our self-hosted platform in a customer-controlled cloud environment. You will deploy and operate the platform for a dedicated enterprise opportunity, collaborating with software engineers, security, and governance teams.

In this high-impact role, you will harden deployments, implement monitoring and incident response, and own observability within strict security

Qualifications

U.S. citizenship required (customer badging requirement) and ability to complete a customer background/badging process.
3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.
Strong proficiency in Kubernetes and container orchestration; hands-on experience deploying software into customer-controlled or restricted environments.
Experience operating in isolated, restricted, or highly regulated network environments (defense, government, financial services, or similar).
Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent) and at least one major cloud platform.
Deep expertise in observability tooling, incident management, and on-call practices.
Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
Excellent communication skills — you will work directly with customer engineering, security, and governance stakeholders and represent Blitzy on the account.

Responsibilities

Deploy, operate, and maintain Blitzy's self-hosted platform within a customer-controlled, secure cloud environment.
Own the Kubernetes-based deployment: releases, upgrades, capacity planning, and performance benchmarking for compute-intensive AI workloads.
Design and maintain observability — logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting — that operates fully within the customer's security boundary.
Serve as Blitzy's on-account technical presence: partner with customer infrastructure, security, and governance teams on provisioning, reviews, documentation, and operational escalations.
Handle sensitive customer data in accordance with customer security requirements; champion security best practices across the deployment.
Feed lessons learned back into Blitzy's product and infrastructure roadmap to strengthen our self-hosted offering for future public sector customers.
