Hebbia is not a tool. Hebbia is the competitive advantage that drives performance, alpha, and market leadership.

Site Reliability Engineer who thinks like a software engineer first. Own critical production services end‑to‑end, designing, building, and improving them rather than simply operating them. Write production‑quality code that keeps the platform reliable at scale, embed with product engineering teams to influence architecture from the start, and build the internal tooling that every engineer at Hebbia depends on. This is not a ticket‑driven ops role.

Spend most of the time writing code: instrumenting services, eliminating performance bottlenecks, building deployment platforms, and translating incident post‑mortems into lasting architectural improvements.

• Own critical production services end‑to‑end, from design and code review through deployment, operation, and incident response
• Profile, benchmark, and rewrite hot paths to eliminate bottlenecks as Hebbia scales
• Lead incident response and drive post‑mortem culture, translating findings into code changes and architectural improvements rather than runbooks
• Design and build observability frameworks from scratch, writing custom instrumentation, alerting logic, and debugging tooling that surfaces production issues before customers feel them
• Define and enforce SLOs across platform services and build the feedback loops that keep engineering teams accountable to them
• Own capacity planning and cost efficiency: model growth, right‑size infrastructure, and write automation that prevents over‑provisioning and resource exhaustion
• Build robust, well‑tested internal platforms and deployment tooling held to the same engineering standards as customer‑facing code
• Own and continuously improve CI/CD systems so engineering teams can ship safely and quickly
• Embed with product engineering teams as a peer software engineer, contributing directly to production codebases and co‑designing systems for reliability from the start
• Partner on infrastructure security through threat modeling, hardening, and automated compliance tooling

• 5+ years software development with a track record of writing, shipping, and maintaining production services, not just operating infrastructure
• Production‑grade proficiency in at least one systems or backend language:
  Go, Python, C++, or Rust
• Proven experience as a Production Engineer, SRE, or software engineer with a deep infrastructure focus, comfortable owning services end‑to‑end across the full stack
• Deep understanding of distributed systems
• Container orchestration expertise and hands‑on experience debugging complex distributed failures in production
• Working knowledge of OS‑level concepts
• Experience in building and maintaining observability stacks
• Strong CI/CD pipeline expertise and a track record of improving developer velocity without sacrificing safety
• Background at a company with a Production Engineering or software‑focused SRE culture is a strong plus
• Experience building platforms for AI/ML workloads or high‑throughput document processing pipelines is a plus
