Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Kubernetes & Cloud

Evlo AI; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Evlo AI is seeking a seasoned SRE to own the reliability of large-scale production systems. You will collaborate with backend engineers and platform teams to eliminate toil, lower error budgets, and codify incident response as a repeatable practice.

You will build and scale Kubernetes-based infrastructure on AWS or GCP, design observability tooling and dashboards, and lead blameless postmortems to drive continuous improvement across teams.

Qualifications

• 3–7 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering.
• Strong Kubernetes proficiency for clusters, debugging workloads, and Helm charts.
• Experience with at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) including networking and IAM.
• Observability stacks experience (Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog) and structured incident response.
• Fluency in Go, Python, or Bash for automation and tooling.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems: load balancing, caching, and failure modes.
• Bonus: service mesh, chaos engineering, multi-region architectures.

Responsibilities

• Build, operate, and scale Kubernetes-based infrastructure on AWS or GCP, including upgrades, autoscaling, and node pool optimization.
• Design and maintain observability tooling using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry — dashboards, SLOs, and actionable alerts instead of noise.
• Lead incident response for production outages: run the bridge, root cause analysis, and publish blameless postmortems with tracked follow-ups.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and reduce manual operations through CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
• Implement capacity planning and load testing to identify bottlenecks before they become outages.
• Define and enforce reliability standards — SLO/SLI frameworks, error budget policies, and runbooks — across engineering teams.
