Full description
The Opportunity
Adobe Unified Platform is changing how software gets made at Adobe. It reads builders' intent, breaks down complex work, runs it through autonomous agents, and improves every cycle. What this team ships reaches thousands of engineers. It's the foundation the rest of Adobe's agentic work is built on!
The Agentic Builders Experience runs on infrastructure that must be fast, safe, and always available. Agents provision environments on demand and run untrusted code at high scale. We're hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to own that infrastructure: the provisioning layer, the execution sandboxes, and the control plane. This is a hands-on role for someone who treats reliability as an engineering problem.
What you'll do
- Own reliability, availability, and performance for the agent execution platform.
- Define and operate SLOs and error budgets.
- Build the observability stack across metrics, logging, and tracing.
- Automate away toil with self-healing systems and capacity management.
- Keep provisioning fast and predictable under load.
- Lead incident response and blameless postmortems.
- Drive every issue to root cause and a lasting fix.
- Design execution isolation for untrusted agent workloads.
- Plan capacity and manage cloud cost against performance.
- Make reliability a first-class part of the architecture.
What you'll need to succeed
- 10+ years in software or infrastructure engineering.
- High-scale production systems where reliability came first.
- Deep SRE skills: SLOs, observability, incident management, automation.
- Strong AWS or Azure experience.
- microVM or container tech such as Firecracker, Kata, or containerd.
- Solid coding in Go, Python, or Java.
- Proficiency in AI-assisted development and reviewing AI-generated code.
- Proven ability to make architectural calls and influence hiring.
- Experience running untrusted workloads is a strong plus.
