THE OPPORTUNITY

One exceptional engineer. AI as the team.

This is not a standard Dev Ops posting. We are looking for one unusually capable, AI-native engineer to own our entire platform engineering and SRE function - using autonomous agents, LLM-powered pipelines, and MCP-based tooling as force multipliers to do the work of a team, on-site, in close partnership with our engineering leadership.

Your job is to extend all of it, automate what remains manual, and be the person who makes every deployment, incident, and infrastructure change happen with speed, precision, and intelligence.

NON-NEGOTIABLE

The AI-native expectation

This is a role where AI fluency is not a bonus - it is how you do the job. We expect you to build, operate, and improve autonomous agents that handle monitoring, alerting, triage, and routine operational work. You are not just a consumer of AI tools; you are the person who builds them, deploys them into production, and iterates on them based on real operational data.

You will extend Ops Whisperer(AI Platform and Observability agent), contribute to the Axle platform, build MCP servers that give agents new capabilities, and apply LLM-powered reasoning to…
