** About
* * Hydra Host is a fast-growing baremetal HPC infrastructure company building a backbone that our customers rely on to provide rock-solid infrastructure to host their cloud systems and perform mission-critical training and inference. Uptime, reliability, and observability are critical to everything we do. We’re hiring a Platform Reliability Engineer to own QA systems and processes, monitoring, and backend service delivery, to ensure our systems meet internal and customer SLAs.

This person will work with devops, datacenter, device, and marketplace teams to ensure these goals are in sync and systems in place across all domains.

We support mission‑critical tooling for our enterprise customers. Our success depends on delivering exceptional customer support and operational excellence. We’ve integrated several dozen datacenters and we are expanding quickly to disrupt the traditional cloud compute model.

We are a small team who relies on lean and automated processes to manage enterprise-scale infrastructure without the need for enterprise-scale red tape and armies of technicians. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of automation engineering, systems reliability, tooling development, and operational excellence.
** What You’ll Do
** As our Platform Reliability Engineer, you will:
* Design, deploy, and maintain QA systems used by our development teams to test integration and live system responses across full-stack deployments in local, live, and ephemeral environments.
* Evaluate and integrate monitoring and QA tools to find the right tools for the job.
* Create a unified monitoring platform and processes that datacenter and device teams will integrate to monitor their components (live servers, lifecycle, networks, power, etc.).
* Maintain monitoring processes and dashboards to provide complete visibility into the health, performance, and reliability of our CI systems, software deployments, and testing platforms.
* Create and maintain a systems test suite, in collaboration with our product managers, to validate marketplace changes against all business functions in live and ephemeral QA environments.
* Integrate all fore-mentioned systems to create holistic platform health statistics reporting.
* Design disaster-recovery processes in collaboration with devops.
* Ensure we are meeting uptime SLAs across all platform deployments.
* Work with datacenter and device teams to define service-level indicators (SLIs), service-level objectives (SLOs), and SLAs.
* Establish observability standards across the stack: logs, metrics, traces, and alerts, and actionable on-call playbooks.
* Automate everything from monitoring setups to incident responses to eliminate manual toil and increase reliability.
* Drive incident response, root cause analysis, and post‑mortems. Guide incident turn-around into tooling and process improvements.
* Establish the monitoring infrastructure and dashboards that enable everyone — from engineers to execs — to know what’s going on.
* Act as the reliability partner to engineering teams: review systems for reliability concerns, help design QA requirements and testing, and help teams meet reliability targets.
** Required Qualifications
*** 5–8+ years of experience in Reliability Engineering, Dev Ops, or infrastructure roles focused on large-scale, high-uptime production environments.
* Deep familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling: you've implemented and managed systems, esp. Prometheus, Grafana, and Zabbix.
* Strong experience with service orchestration in mutli-region environment (Nomad, Kubernetes, cloud VMs, distributed databases).
* Track record of managing production system uptime and SLAs and building tools to support it.
* Experience writing and reviewing post-mortems and using those findings to drive improvements in tools and process.
* Proficient with scripting and programming languages (Python, Go, BASH, etc.) for automating operational tasks.
* Strong proficiency…
