Principal SRE; AI Enablement Platform

Join ABC Fitness, the leading technology provider for the fitness industry!

• Architect and evolve core platform capabilities for reliability, including execution environments, CI/CD systems, and validation pipelines that support high-throughput, machine-assisted change.
• Design and implement fast, isolated execution environments where generated work can be built, tested, and safely discarded at scale.
• Transform CI/CD into a validation system by embedding automated verification (tests, integration harnesses, canarying, rollback signals) into promotion decisions.
• Build production-like validation environments that allow realistic system behavior testing without impacting live systems.
• Establish deep observability patterns for autonomous workflows, including tracing what ran, what failed, why, and what it cost across agents, tools, and orchestration layers.
• Define and implement guardrails-as-code, including access controls, policy enforcement, cost protections, and auditability for platform usage.
• Design for reliability from day one, including scalability, fault tolerance, performance optimization, and operational resilience.
• Lead technical design reviews and influence platform and infrastructure decisions across engineering teams.
• Define and document reusable infrastructure patterns, platform standards, and reference implementations that create a consistent paved path for teams.

• Not a ticket queue or generic support role.
• Not incremental-only ops without ownership of architecture and adoption.
• Not "just Kubernetes admin", Kubernetes is one layer in a broader platform problem.

• Typically 10+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or Platform Engineering.
• Deep experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale, including cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Strong expertise in reliability engineering practices, including incident management, fault isolation, resiliency design, and system performance tuning.
• Experience building and operating CI/CD systems, test harnesses, and automated validation frameworks.
• Strong understanding of observability systems, including metrics, logging, tracing, and system-level debugging.
• Demonstrated ability to define technical standards and influence multiple teams through architecture, design review, and strong engineering judgment.
• Strong production mindset, with experience designing systems for scalability, availability, and operational efficiency.
• Experience implementing secure, multi-tenant infrastructure with strong isolation, IAM, and secrets management practices.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Growth mindset and One Team orientation.

• Experience supporting AI/LLM-powered systems in production, including understanding of latency, cost, and orchestration challenges.
• Experience designing high-throughput, isolated compute systems or sandboxed execution environments.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or platform-as-a-product capabilities.
• Familiarity with governance or regulated environments.
• Experience with advanced validation systems such as canarying, chaos engineering, or automated rollback strategies.

• Faster delivery through platform-enabled validation and automation.
• Automated validation of changes before production, reducing reliance on manual review.
• Platform standards adopted across teams as the default paved path.
• Early detection of reliability issues through strong observability and validation systems.
• Reduced infrastructure complexity so engineers can focus on product and policy.

ABC Fitness is evolving toward an AI-native engineering model where automation, agents, and platform systems handle increasing portions of the software lifecycle. This role builds the foundation that enables scalable, trustworthy, and high-velocity software delivery across the organization.
