About the role

Role to own infrastructure, deployment, and operational reliability for Percepta's AI systems, including autonomous agents; focus on Terraform, multi-cloud IaC, observability, and SRE practices in a fast-moving AI production environment.

Responsibilities

  • Build the operational floor: SLOs, alert routing that actually reaches a human, an on-call rotation, incident response, and postmortems that produce changes.
  • Own and evolve the IaC - Terraform across AWS, Azure, and GCP, plus the blueprints and per-environment installations that drive it. Bring it tests, policy-as-code, and drift discipline.
  • Make standing up a new customer environment boring: automate the firewall exceptions, DNS delegations, deploy identities, tag policies, and cert chains that are a runbook today.
  • Keep the three clouds at parity. A service that exists on Azure but not GCP is a half-shipped service, and we don't get to pick which cloud a customer already bought.
  • Make HIPAA and SOC 2 properties of the infrastructure rather than projects: controls in code, evidence generated by the pipeline.
  • Own the observability stack we already run — Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, Alloy, Langfuse, LiteLLM — and make it answer operational questions about agent behavior: which agent decided what, on whose data, at what cost.
  • Give the engineers who ship into these tenants a paved road, so deploying doesn't require knowing our blueprint template engine.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years operating production infrastructure - SRE, platform, or production engineering.
  • You've operated software in environments you don't control: BYOC, single-tenant, on-prem, or air-gapped.
  • Cloud-agnostic by instinct and comfortable in all three of AWS, Azure, and GCP - networking, IAM, managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE).
  • Kubernetes in production on managed clusters across multiple providers.
  • Deep Terraform - module design, state, testing, drift.
  • You've carried a pager and then built incident response mechanisms (SLOs, postmortems).
  • You've worked under regulated posture — HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, FedRAMP.
  • Comfortable customer-facing; able to engage in architecture reviews and request firewall exceptions.
  • Programming/scripting in Python, Go, or Bash with automation mindset.
  • Genuine curiosity about agents and autonomy in systems.
