Senior Site Reliability Engineer

About Airbyte

Airbyte is the data and action layer for AI agents, providing fast, accurate, authenticated access to business data across hundreds of sources. Since 2020, we've raised $181M from leading investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. We've grown from an open-source data movement standard to a production-grade platform powering thousands of companies globally.

Our mission: make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere—now including AI agents.

The Role

Join the Data Replication team as an infrastructure and reliability engineer. You'll own the infrastructure underpinning a platform running over 3 million sync jobs weekly across multiple regions and clouds. You'll be equally comfortable in Terraform files, Kubernetes clusters, and postmortem documentation.

We expect engineers to actively use AI as a force multiplier—agentic tools to automate toil, augment incident response, and build smarter internal tooling. Trust, directness, and craftsmanship are core to how we work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own infrastructure underpinning the Data Replication platform—Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, networking, and cloud resource configuration across AWS and GCP
• Partner with product engineers to reliably integrate product features with infrastructure
• Maintain and enhance observability, alerting, and anomaly detection with LLM automation potential
• Enhance AI-augmented release and internal tooling: canary deployments, progressive rollouts, automated release qualification, and rollback automation
• Set the infrastructure bar for the team—build self-serve tooling, write runbooks, and coach engineers to own more of their stack

Requirements

• 7+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps
• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
• Strong track record improving system reliability, reducing incident impact, and driving observability improvements
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Proven ability to mentor and empower engineers through tooling and documentation
