Location and Flexibility
This role can be fully remote for candidates based in Brazil, due to team distribution and occasional in-person opportunities. If you are based in São Paulo or Porto Alegre, you are welcome to work from one of our offices on a flexible schedule.
About the Role
Our CXAI Platform powers a portfolio of Generative AI products deployed into enterprise contact centers and BPO operations, environments where downtime, latency, or silent model degradation translate directly to commercial impact. As a Staff DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability, you'll lead the architecture and maintenance of the infrastructure and reliability practices that keep AI-powered systems performant, observable, and trustworthy under real production load, including redundancy, latency, and cost management.
This is a staff-level individual contributor role with broad mandate. You'll set technical standards across the platform, partner directly with product and engineering leadership, and have real ownership over how reliability shapes the roadmap.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Platform reliability strategy: help define SLOs/SLIs for AI-powered services, including latency and quality SLOs for LLM inference paths, and build the error-budget discipline that lets product teams ship fast without breaking trust.
- Cloud architecture on GCP: design scalable, secure infrastructure for distributed AI services, event-driven workloads, and multi-LLM-provider integrations
- Observability for non-deterministic systems: build metrics, tracing, and alerting that surface not just "is it up" but "is it behaving correctly" for LLM-powered features (drift, regression, hallucination rates, tool-call failures)
- Resilience engineering: circuit breakers, graceful degradation, multi-provider failover, and chaos/fault-injection practices for AI inference paths
- Infrastructure-as-code and automation: Terraform-first, automated everything, no toil tolerated
- Production readiness: define and enforce PRR-style standards across teams launching new AI products and features
- Technical leadership: mentor engineers, drive architecture reviews, and shape the broader engineering culture around reliability
WHAT YOU BRING
- Significant infrastructure engineering experience combining DevOps and SRE disciplines at scale
- Deep GCP expertise (AWS a strong plus); relevant cloud certifications welcome
- Production experience with SRE fundamentals: SLO/SLI design, error budgets, toil reduction, blameless incident review
- Strong background in distributed systems failure modes and resilience patterns
- Expert-level infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD
- Hands-on with modern observability stacks (i.e., OpenTelemetry, Sentry) and AI-specific observability tooling (Arize, LangSmith, Braintrust, or simila
