Platform Site Reliability Engineer

Specter's mission is to help automate the physical world.

Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless (1km range) and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.

Soon, we will build robots, trained on top of the data we collect, to take action in these environments as well.

Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.

We’re hiring a Platform Site Reliability Engineer to own the operational health, reliability, and scalability of the cloud platform behind our connected sensor fleet.

This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of site reliability and platform engineering. You’ll operate and improve our Kubernetes-based infrastructure, manage cloud resources through Terraform, strengthen observability and incident response, and build the systems that allow our engineering teams to deploy safely and move quickly.

You’ll work primarily across our AWS infrastructure and Kubernetes environments while partnering with application, AI, embedded systems, and fleet teams. You’ll help resolve production issues when they occur—and then improve the platform so they are less likely to happen again.
