We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Infrastructure to take hands-on technical ownership of the architecture, reliability, and scalability of our entire AWS infrastructure. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, Platform Infrastructure & SRE, you'll set technical direction, review designs, and raise the bar for reliability engineering across a growing and globally distributed engineering organization. This is a senior individual contributor role. You'll work side by side with our onsite SRE team, Software Engineers, and other Lead Engineers to support seamless 24/7 reliability. It's ideal for an AI-forward engineer with a strong software engineering background who uses AI-assisted development tools to move faster, has a passion for infrastructure-as-code, and a proven track record of mentoring engineers to build highly reliable, scalable, and performant systems. Key Responsibilities • Own the architecture, reliability, and scalability of critical AWS infrastructure, working hands-on across the full stack. • Partner with Software Engineers and other Lead Engineers to shape the roadmap and technical strategy for Cricut's platform infrastructure. • Take ownership of our AWS environment, driving best practices in security, cost management, and scalability. • Champion and expand our "infrastructure-as-code" philosophy across the organization. • Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery, applying prompt engineering and context management practices to get reliable results, and evaluate AI/ML infrastructure (e.g., model serving, vector databases, LLM tooling) as it becomes part of the platform. • Oversee production monitoring, incident response, and blameless post-mortem processes to continuously improve system reliability. • Develop and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for critical production systems. • Act as a key consultant for our feature-focused pillar and pod teams, ensuring they have the infrastructure resources and support required to deliver their projects successfully. • Mentor software engineers who have an affinity for infrastructure, helping them grow their skills in reliability engineering. • Collaborate closely with the onsite SRE team, sharing the on-call rotation to ensure seamless 24/7 reliability coverage. • 4+ years of experience in a software engineering or site reliability engineering role. • An AI-forward mindset: fluency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate delivery, practical prompt engineering skills, and experience managing context (e.g., structuring prompts, memory, and retrieved data) to keep LLM-based workflows accurate and reliable, plus hands-on exposure to AI/ML infrastructure (e.g., model serving, vector databases, LLM operations). • A strong background in software engineering, ideally with experience in backend microservices (.NET is a strong plus). • Deep, hands-on expertise with AWS and its core services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Kinesis, VPC, IAM). • Proven experience building and managing infrastructure with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation. • A solid understanding of SRE principles and a proven track record of improving site reliability. • Experience with modern observability, monitoring, and logging platforms, ideally Datadog and OpenTelemetry. • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
