What You'll Do
- Build simulation environments where AI agents can be trained and evaluated on realistic SRE work: debugging, incident response, infra changes, on-call grind.
- Work directly with Research Scientists and domain experts to translate real SRE scenarios into reproducible, graded environments that are actually hard.
- Own the architecture and implementation of large subsystems, from early design through long-term evolution. Infra, tooling, data pipelines, scoring, whatever the job needs.
- Design, build, and scale the backend services and APIs that generate, run, and score scenarios in high-concurrency environments.
- Bake reliability, scalability, and performance into every layer of the system, especially where it's distributed.
- Close the loop fast. Ship a rough version, watch it run, find where it breaks, refine.
- Dig into the weeds on realism. The environments should reflect how production actually fails, not a sanitized version of it.
- Use AI tools aggressively across the stack, from code gen to scenario generation to debugging, to move faster than you could alone.
What We're Looking for
- Ideally with 1+ years operating at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level
- Strong backend engineer with real experience building and deploying scalable, high-performance services in high-concurrency production environments.
- Experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS) and Kubernetes, and a solid grasp of databases and messaging systems for cloud-native applications.
- Bias for action. You close the loop quickly to get an initial version in front of people, then refine from there.
- Not afraid to get in the weeds. You like digging into technical problems, getting your hands dirty, staring at data, and debugging.
- You use AI tools to amplify what you can build, and you're eager to go deeper on LLM-powered systems.
- Bonus: prior SRE, on-call, or incident response experience.
- Bonus: familiarity with observability and other developer-facing tool internals.
