Lead Reliability Engineer

Location: Irvine, CA (Onsite)

Compensation: $150K-$300K

We're an AI-focused software company that is looking for a hands-on Reliabilty Engineer to help define how software is built, deployed, secured, and operated as we scale.

This is not a traditional infrastructure role. We're looking for someone who can bridge software engineering and platform engineering, building the systems, tooling, and standards that allow engineers to move quickly without sacrificing reliability or security.

What You'll Own

• CI/CD architecture and software delivery workflows
• Source control standards, GitHub/GitLab strategy, and engineering governance
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Kubernetes-based application platforms
• Internal developer tooling and automation
• DevSecOps controls, secrets management, and deployment security
• Reliability, observability, and operational excellence
• AI-assisted engineering workflows and platform enablement

What We're Looking For

• Strong Python programming and/or Go development experience
• Hands-on Kubernetes and Terraform experience
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
• Ability to build tools, services, and automation rather than simply operate existing systems
• Comfortable owning projects from architecture through production deployment
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and production systems

Ideal Backgrounds

We are especially interested in:

• Platform Engineers
• Site Reliability Engineers (SRE)
• Production Engineers
• Infrastructure Software Engineers
• Developer Productivity Engineers
• DevOps Engineers with significant coding experience

Technologies

Python, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD, Docker, Observability, AI Tooling, Developer Platforms

If you're passionate about building engineering systems, developer tooling, platform infrastructure, and helping an organization scale through automation and good engineering practices, we'd love to connect.
