About the Role

 

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Ema, you will own the stability, availability, and operational health of our agentic AI platform across customer environments. You'll work closely with Engineering and DevOps to provision infrastructure, drive deployment excellence, and keep production running at the quality bar our enterprise customers expect — 99.9%+ uptime, proactive incident response, and continuous improvement.

 

What You'll Do

 

Infrastructure & Deployment

• Design and provision cloud infrastructure (GCP, Azure, AWS) tailored to customer environments, with security, scalability, and compliance built in

• Execute on-call SaaS deployments with minimal downtime; automate and optimize deployment workflows end-to-end

Production Stability & Observability

• Monitor logs, alerts, and metrics to maintain SLA commitments and catch issues before they escalate

• Diagnose and resolve production incidents with speed and rigor; drive root cause analysis and permanent fixes

• Collaborate with DevOps to enhance monitoring dashboards and alerting frameworks; deliver clear system health reporting to internal and customer stakeholders

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Maintain deployment runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and environment configuration docs

• Facilitate knowledge transfer across teams to ensure smooth handovers

 

What We're Looking For

 

• 3-5 years in DevOps, Infrastructure, or Deployment Engineering roles

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms — GCP, Azure, or AWS

• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines — GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent

• Familiarity with observability tooling — Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or Splunk

• Strong troubleshooting instincts across distributed systems

• Clear communicator — comfortable working directly with both engineering teams and customer stakeholders

 

Nice to Have

 

• Experience at a fast-paced, high-growth startup

• Hands-on with containerization and orchestration — Docker, Kubernetes
