Senior Site Reliability Engineer

📋 Job Overview

At Replicant, we believe AI should work for people, starting with customer service. That’s why we built a platform that helps contact centers resolve more requests, proactively identify issues, and improve agent performance with AI-powered conversation intelligence and AI agents that act like your best reps. Our AI agents handle millions of calls every month for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth innovators. From processing payments to booking appointments and authenticating users, they help customers get what they need instantly, 24/7. Meanwhile, our real-time conversation insights help contact center leaders coach better and improve every interaction. We are leading the shift from legacy systems to AI-first service, powered by large language models (LLMs) and designed for enterprise scale, security, and empathy. If you’re excited by the potential of LLMs, voice AI, and building category-defining technology with a kind, ambitious team, you’ll love it here.

🏢 About Replicant

Our SRE team builds - not just supports - an AI-native platform, and they own exciting domains like platform and harness engineering, site reliability, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, DevEx, observability, incident management, and COGS (e.g. cloud spend visibility). We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who has opinions about how these domains should work and wants agency in shaping where they go. If you are energized by enabling teams to succeed through systems- and patterns-level work, come build Replicant’s platform with us!

🎯 The Role

Contribute to patterns, design, and implementation of our domains; help shape the future of platform engineering at Replicant. Build and improve systems that help reduce toil and enable Replicant's production infrastructure to remain available and operable under large-scale, real-time conversational AI traffic. Extend and iterate our agent harness: Unsupervised AI agents are currently used by about 10% of the dev team - help us grow that number. The agent harness includes CI, sandboxes, guardrails, and validation (e.g. agent-first eval loops). Own and improve our CI/CD pipelines and surrounding developer tooling: build and test performance, deployment ergonomics, and paved paths for new services. Participate in on-call rotation and incident management to ensure platform uptime and quality. (SRE owns the base infrastructure, not the applications; non-business-hours pages are rare)
