About the role

Senior Site Reliability Engineer on the Data Replication team responsible for building and maintaining infrastructure, improving reliability, and enabling engineers to ship safely across multiple regions and clouds.

Responsibilities

  • Own the infrastructure underpinning the Data Replication platform: Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, networking, and cloud resource configuration across AWS and GCP.
  • Work across the stack: ship backend features and fixes in application code alongside product engineers, not just the infrastructure underneath them.
  • Improve performance and efficiency at scale, from bursty job scheduling to right-sizing compute.
  • Help us ship safely into customer-managed environments, where Airbyte runs in infrastructure we don't control.
  • Evolve observability, alerting, and anomaly detection, with an eye toward LLM automation.
  • Build AI-augmented release and internal tooling: canary deployments, progressive rollouts, automated release qualification, and rollback automation.
  • Set the infrastructure bar for the team: build self-serve tooling, write runbooks, and coach engineers to own more of their stack.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps.
  • Hands-on ownership of Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform in production environments.
  • Deep experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and on-call operations.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipeline ownership and developer tooling.
  • Experience shipping changes to backend services in [language], not only infrastructure code, and the appetite to do more of it.
  • Strong design judgment, and the confidence to challenge infrastructure decisions with data.
  • Fluency with AI tools: LLMs and agentic frameworks to automate, debug faster, and reduce toil.
  • A startup-ready mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and owning problems end to end.
