Site Reliability Engineer - Public Sector

Deploy, operate, and maintain Blitzy's self-hosted platform within a customer-controlled, secure cloud environment.

Own the Kubernetes-based deployment: releases, upgrades, capacity planning, and performance benchmarking for compute-intensive AI workloads.

Design and maintain observability — logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting — that operates fully within the customer's security boundary.

Serve as Blitzy's on-account technical presence: partner with customer infrastructure, security, and governance teams on provisioning, reviews, documentation, and operational escalations.

Handle sensitive customer data in accordance with customer security requirements; champion security best practices across the deployment.

Feed lessons learned back into Blitzy's product and infrastructure roadmap to strengthen our self-hosted offering for future public sector customers.

U.S. citizenship (customer badging requirement) and ability to complete a customer background/badging process.

3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.

Strong proficiency in Kubernetes and container orchestration; hands-on experience deploying software into customer-controlled or restricted environments.

Experience operating in isolated, restricted, or otherwise highly regulated network environments (defense, government, financial services, or similar).

Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent) and at least one major cloud platform.

Deep expertise in observability tooling, incident management, and on-call practices.

Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).

Excellent communication skills — you will work directly with customer engineering, security, and governance stakeholders and represent Blitzy on the account.

Experience deploying or operating software in government-accredited or similarly certified cloud environments.

Familiarity with handling sensitive data and security frameworks common to regulated industries.

Experience supporting AI/ML workloads or their supporting infrastructure.

Prior forward-deployed, residency, or embedded-engineer experience at an enterprise customer site.

Prior experience in a high-growth startup environment where you wore multiple hats.

You won't be maintaining legacy systems or fighting fires in a sprawling monolith. You'll be a founding reliability engineer for Blitzy's public sector business — operating a greenfield deployment of an AI platform that is redefining how the world creates software, inside one of the most security-conscious enterprises in the country. Your work directly shapes the playbook for the government and defense customers that follow. You'll have direct influence over architectural decisions, work side-by-side with world-class engineers, and see the tangible impact of your work from day one.
