We are seeking an experienced Staff Site Reliability Engineer to own and evolve our cloud infrastructure, with a focus on scalable design, operational excellence, and system reliability.
The ideal candidate brings a strong production-engineering mindset and a deep commitment to observability, resilience, and well-instrumented distributed systems while holding a high bar for production readiness and believes no service should ship without meaningful telemetry and safeguards in place.
This role is critical to scaling the infrastructure that underpins our core data pipelines and directly enables our Machine Learning and Robotics engineering teams. If you enjoy tackling complex production challenges and building robust, highly scalable systems, this role offers significant scope and impact.
What you will do- System Design & Operations: Design, build, and operate highly scalable, reliable systems used by all Bedrock engineering teams.
- Cloud Infrastructure Ownership: Take full ownership of Bedrock’s cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), ensuring best-in-class security, performance, and cost efficiency.
- Observability Stack: Design, implement, and maintain Bedrock’s end-to-end observability stack (including monitoring, logging, and tracing).
- Production Excellence: Pave the road for production engineering by developing and implementing best practices for system reliability, security, on-call rotation, and effective incident response.
- Performance & Cost Optimization: Continuously identify and implement improvements to enhance system performance and optimize cloud resource consumption.
- Reliability Passion: A deep passion for building and maintaining reliable, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
- Cloud & IaC Expertise: Strong proficiency in major cloud platforms (such as AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
- Containerization & Orchestration: Proven experience with container technologies and orchestration platforms, particularly Kubernetes.
- Observability: Hands-on experience with observability tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Splunk) and techniques.
- Technical Foundations: Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking concepts, database technologies, and compute infrastructure.
- Security Best Practices: Strong understanding and experience implementing security best practices in cloud environments.
- Fast-Paced Environment: Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, deal effectively with ambiguity, and take decisive ownership of challenging problems.
Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF of NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built worldAt Bedrock, we've assembled one of the most experienced autonomous technology teams in the industry, with deep expertise scaling breakthroughs across transportation, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Our leaders helped put the first self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.
While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it in the real world. Our systems are already installed on heavy machines across the country, learning on real construction sites and working to reshape the earth with survey-grade precision and exceptional safety. This isn't a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.
In just over a year, we've raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.
Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you're interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
