Senior Site Reliability Engineer

About CodeRabbit CodeRabbit is an innovative research and development company focused on building extraordinarily productive human-machine collaboration systems. Our primary goal is to create the next generation of Gen AI-driven code reviewers: a symbiotic partnership between humans and advanced algorithms that significantly outperforms individual engineers. We combine language models with human ingenuity to push the boundaries of software development efficiency and quality. The Role: We are seeking an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team in the Bay Area. You'll be instrumental in ensuring the high availability, performance, and scalability of CodeRabbit's AI-powered code review platform. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and systems operations, where you'll build the foundational platforms and automation that enable our engineering teams to deploy, monitor, and scale our services reliably. As an SRE at CodeRabbit, you'll be responsible for enhancing the reliability of our critical services that process millions of code reviews, building sophisticated automation platforms, and owning the infrastructure that powers our AI-driven analysis engine. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies including large language models, real-time processing systems, and distributed architectures that operate at significant scale. Key Responsibilities: Infrastructure & Platform Ownership Design, implement, and maintain scalable infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform to support CodeRabbit's growing user base and processing demands Own and operate critical platform services Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform to ensure consistent, reproducible, and version‑controlled infrastructure deployments Reliability & Performance Engineering Establish and maintain SLI/SLO frameworks for all critical services, ensuring we meet our reliability commitments to users Implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions using Datadog and custom instrumentation Conduct thorough incident response, root cause analysis, and post‑mortem processes to continuously improve system reliability Optimize application and infrastructure performance to handle millions of pull request analyses with minimal latency Design and implement chaos engineering practices to proactively identify and resolve system weaknesses Automation & Developer Experience Develop self‑service platforms and tooling that empower engineering teams to deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot their services independently Automate operational tasks including scaling, backup/recovery, security patching, and routine maintenance Create and maintain infrastructure APIs and abstractions that simplify complex operations for development teams Security & Compliance Integrate security best practices into all infrastructure and platform services Implement and maintain security monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and compliance reporting Design secure network architectures including VPC configuration, firewall rules, and access control systems Establish and maintain disaster recovery procedures and business continuity planning Required Qualifications: 7+ years of hands‑on experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or DevOps Engineering roles Proven track record of managing production systems at scale, preferably in high‑growth technology companies Experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including compute, storage, networking, and managed services Strong background in containerization and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker) Technical Skills Programming Languages : Proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript for building automation tools, monitoring solutions, and platform services Infrastructure as Code : Advanced experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and management Monitoring & Observability : Hands‑on experience with Datadog or similar platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) for observability Cloud Platforms : Comprehensive experience with GCP services including Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Load Balancing, and IAM Systems & Operations Strong Linux/Unix systems skills Experience with network protocols, load balancing, and CDN technologies Knowledge of security principles and best practices for cloud infrastructure Familiarity with CI/CD tools and practices (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) Understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems principles Bonus Points: Experience with AI/ML infrastructure and tools Background in managing high‑traffic web applications and API services Experience with disaster recovery planning and execution Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) Contributions to open‑source infrastructure or SRE tooling projects Experience with cost optimization and FinOps practices Knowledge of performance testing and capacity planning methodologies Why Join Our Engineering Culture? CodeRabbit is building the next generation of AI‑native developer tooling — starting with code review. We combine large language models with deep software engineering context to help teams ship faster, catch more bugs, and make better architectural decisions at scale. We are a high‑ownership engineering culture. That means no passive execution, no waiting for perfect tickets, and no narrowly defined task boundaries. Engineers here find problems before they're assigned, use AI as a core part of how they build, ship with judgment, and own outcomes from proposal to production. Our operating philosophy : bias toward action, ship the smallest necessary coherent slice, validate proportionally to risk, watch what happens, and make the system better. AI drafts; humans decide. Speed matters, but so does understanding what you ship. This opportunity will be energizing for people who want real ownership, pace, and high standards . It's uncomfortable for people who prefer slow consensus or heavily managed workflows. If you want build tools that are changing how software gets written , and be held to the standard that the best engineers thrive under; we'd love to talk. Our Values Collaborative Humans : Prioritizing collective intelligence Fearless Innovators : Turning obstacles into growth opportunities Persistent, Passionate Developers : Thriving on complex, long‑term challenges Impact‑Driven Creators : Crafting intuitive tools for developers Rapid Learners and Un‑learners : Adapting quickly in our fast‑paced technological world #J-18808-Ljbffr CodeRabbit
