TL;DR · Senior/Lead Software Engineer, Site Reliability

The Senior/Lead Software Engineer, Site Reliability (Agentforce Operations) joins the Agentforce Operations and Missionforce teams to shape infrastructure, process automation, and engineering practices. You will design and ship cost-efficient platform capabilities, manage the reliability roadmap for mission-critical public-sector workflows, and optimize scalability, resilience, and performance across the entire stack. Key responsibilities include developing infrastructure as code, supporting AI/ML infrastructure, and strengthening identity and access controls. You will utilize Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu, AWS, GCP, and Azure, while writing production-level code in Golang, TypeScript, or Python. The role addresses complex technical challenges in reimagining supply chains through an AI-powered platform, specifically managing infinitely configurable states and asynchronous operations patterns within sensitive, isolated public-cloud environments to ensure uncompromising trust, security, and data classification.

What you'll do

  • Own the reliability roadmap to evolve startup-speed architectures into highly available, globally scalable systems.
  • Design and ship infrastructure, automation, and cost-efficient platform capabilities for isolated public-cloud environments.
  • Support the scaling and deployment of AI/ML infrastructure to ensure reliable and cost-effective compute capabilities.
  • Define and maintain Infrastructure as Code tools to create robust, "push-button" deployment processes.
  • Design and build internal systems for testing, releasing, and diagnosing products with minimal engineering involvement.
  • Strengthen identity and access controls, networking, workload isolation, and secret management to ensure security by default.
  • Diagnose and prioritize architectural problems across distributed backend systems to drive foundational technical improvements.
  • Mentor engineers on backend architecture and system design to improve team engineering judgment and collaboration.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in SRE, Production Engineering, or Backend Engineering with a heavy focus on operations and infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu, and AWS/GCP/Azure.
  • Ability to write and review production-level code in Golang, TypeScript, or Python.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, including microservices, databases, and AI agents.
  • Mastery of Golang, GraphQL, and PSQL with experience in RDS, Redis/Elasticache, and EKS.
  • Expertise in data modeling, db performance tuning, state management, API design, transactionality, concurrency, memory management, fault tolerance, and scaling.
  • Advanced Degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience (preferred).
  • B.S. in Computer Science (M.S. preferred).
