Site Reliability Engineer

As a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer on contract, you will be embedded with the Central Technology AI enablement team, working alongside engineers from Direct, PitchBook, Retirement, and other business units. Your initial focus will be on the SRE and hosting side of our growing AI platform footprint. As the platform matures, we expect this role could extend into hands-on contributions to the AI enablement components themselves, including the agent registry, agent runtime platform, and MCP tooling. This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will have the opportunity to shape how a large financial services organization operates production AI infrastructure at scale, working with a small, senior team that moves quickly and makes decisions in the open.

· 5+ years of hands-on DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering experience in a production environment. · Strong Kubernetes experience - you have run production Kubernetes workloads and debugged real cluster issues. · Solid experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred; Azure also relevant). · Proficiency in Python, Bash, or a similar language for automation and tooling. · Experience with modern CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar) and with GitOps patterns. · Strong debugging, systems-thinking, and root-cause analysis skills. Clear written and verbal communication - comfortable working across geographically distributed teams and with engineers outside your immediate area.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

· Direct experience hosting or operating LLM gateways, model gateways, or LLM-adjacent infrastructure (LiteLLM, model routers, inference platforms). · Familiarity with the emerging MCP and agent ecosystem (MCP servers, agent runtimes such as KA Agent or LangSmith Fleet, agent registries). · Experience with observability platforms (i.e. Langsmith) and cost-attribution patterns for shared multi-tenant infrastructure. · Experience operating platforms in a regulated or financial services environment. AWS certifications.
