Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Site Reliability Engineer - **Company:** AI INFRASTRUCTURE LLC - **Location:** United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Software Debugging, Reliability Engineering, Prometheus, Runbook, AI Infrastructure, Datadog, Data Logging, Grafana, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Kubernetes, Machine Learning Operations - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/founding-engineer-site-reliability-urun-8355432 ## About the Role * 7+ years in site reliability, production engineering, or infrastructure engineering in a high-availability, low-latency environment * Deep experience owning SLOs, error budgets, and on-call processes in production at scale * Strong observability background: you have built or owned monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or equivalent) and know what good alerting looks like * Proven incident response experience: you have led real incidents under pressure and written postmortems that actually changed behaviour * Hands-on with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred): you can debug a failing pod and a misconfigured VPC in the same afternoon * Strong software engineering fundamentals: you write automation, not just runbooks * Comfortable operating as the first and only SRE, setting standards without a template to follow Things that will give you an edge * Experience supporting GPU compute or ML inference infrastructure in production * Familiarity with stateful workloads, long-running sessions, or streaming inference systems * Exposure to multi-tenant platforms where isolation, noisy neighbour problems, and billing-aware scheduling matter * Prior founding or sole SRE experience at an early-stage company ## Description Reliability at uRun isn't a feature - it's the product. When model labs and production teams build on top of our inference platform, they are trusting us with their uptime, their latency, and their users. As our Site Reliability Engineer, you will own that trust end-to-end. This is a founding SRE hire. You will define the reliability culture from scratch: the observability stack, the incident response playbooks, the SLOs, and the on-call process. You will work directly with infrastructure and platform engineers to close the gap between what we ship and what stays up. What you'll actually be doing day-to-day * Define and own SLOs and error budgets across uRun's inference platform and supporting infrastructure * Build and maintain the observability stack end-to-end: metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting across a distributed GPU compute environment * Lead incident response: detection, triage, resolution, and blameless postmortems that drive lasting fixes * Partner with ML infrastructure engineers to embed reliability into the deployment pipeline from day one * Design and maintain runbooks, on-call rotations, and escalation paths as the team scales * Drive capacity planning and traffic management across heterogeneous compute to protect latency and availability under load * Identify and eliminate toil through automation, building systems that scale without scaling the team proportionally ## Related Videos - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/681-technical-documentation-how-can-i-write-them-better-and-why-should-i-care) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [Software Engineering Social Connection: Yubo’s lean approach to scaling an 80M-user infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1583-software-engineering-social-connection-yubo-s-lean-approach-to-scaling-an-80m-user-infrastructure) - [Designing UX for SRE Agents in High-Stakes Incidents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100003-designing-ux-for-sre-agents-in-high-stakes-incidents) ## Related Articles - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
