> Site Reliability Engineer who owns production services end-to-end, writes production code, builds observability and internal tooling, and embeds with product teams to improve reliability and performance. Requires 5+ years experience and strong systems programming skills.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own critical production services end-to-end, from design and code review through deployment, operation, and incident response
- Profile, benchmark, and rewrite hot paths to eliminate bottlenecks as Hebbia scales
- Lead incident response and drive post-mortem culture, translating findings into code changes and architectural improvements rather than runbooks
- Design and build observability frameworks from scratch, writing custom instrumentation, alerting logic, and debugging tooling
- Define and enforce SLOs across platform services and build the feedback loops that keep engineering teams accountable
- Own capacity planning and cost efficiency: model growth, right-size infrastructure, and write automation that prevents over-provisioning
- Build robust, well-tested internal platforms and deployment tooling held to the same engineering standards as customer-facing code
- Own and continuously improve CI/CD systems
- Embed with product engineering teams as a peer software engineer, contributing directly to production codebases and co-designing systems for reliability
- Partner on infrastructure security through threat modeling, hardening, and automated compliance tooling

## Requirements
- 5+ years software development with a track record of writing, shipping, and maintaining production services
- Production-grade proficiency in at least one systems or backend language: Go, Python, C++, or Rust
- Proven experience as a Production Engineer, SRE, or software engineer with a deep infrastructure focus
- Deep understanding of distributed systems
- Container orchestration expertise and hands-on experience debugging complex distributed failures in production
- Working knowledge of OS-level concepts
- Cloud platform fluency (AWS preferred)
- Experience in building and maintaining observability stacks
- Strong CI/CD pipeline expertise and a track record of improving developer velocity without sacrificing safety

## Nice-to-Haves
- Background at a company with a Production Engineering or software-focused SRE culture
- Experience building platforms for AI/ML workloads or high-throughput document processing pipelines
