Full Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Build simulation environments where AI agents can be trained and evaluated on realistic SRE work: debugging, incident response, infra changes, on-call grind.
  • Work directly with Research Scientists and domain experts to translate real SRE scenarios into reproducible, graded environments that are actually hard.
  • Own the architecture and implementation of large subsystems, from early design through long-term evolution. Infra, tooling, data pipelines, scoring, whatever the job needs.
  • Design, build, and scale the backend services and APIs that generate, run, and score scenarios in high-concurrency environments.
  • Bake reliability, scalability, and performance into every layer of the system, especially where it's distributed.
  • Close the loop fast. Ship a rough version, watch it run, find where it breaks, refine.
  • Dig into the weeds on realism. The environments should reflect how production actually fails, not a sanitized version of it.
  • Use AI tools aggressively across the stack, from code gen to scenario generation to debugging, to move faster than you could alone.
What We're Looking For
  • Ideally with 1+ years operating at a Staff or equivalent technical leadership level
  • Strong backend engineer with real experience building and deploying scalable, high-performance services in high-concurrency production environments.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS) and Kubernetes, and a solid grasp of databases and messaging systems for cloud-native applications.
  • Bias for action. You close the loop quickly to get an initial version in front of people, then refine from there.
  • Not afraid to get in the weeds. You like digging into technical problems, getting your hands dirty, staring at data, and debugging.
  • You use AI tools to amplify what you can build, and you're eager to go deeper on LLM-powered systems.
  • Bonus: prior SRE, on-call, or incident response experience.
  • Bonus: familiarity with observability and other developer-facing tool internals.
Why Join Resolve AI?
  • Make a Real Impact: Join a mission-driven team tackling complex challenges that deliver meaningful outcomes for customers and revolutionize engineering operations.
  • Shape Agentic AI's Future: Help build the next frontier in enterprise software and define its transformative impact.
  • Own Your Work: Take end-to-end responsibility in your role in a collaborative, high-trust environment.
  • Accelerate Your Career: Grow alongside industry leaders in a fast-paced environment, gaining invaluable experience and opportunities to propel your career to new heights.
  • Competitive Benefits: Competitive Pay Packages with full benefits including:
    • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
    • Monthly Housing Stipend
    • Flexible (Unlimited) Paid Time Off
    • Visa Sponsorship & Immigration Support
    • 401(k) Plan
    • Parental Leave
    • Discretionary Tech Benefit Stipend
    • Daily in-office Lunches and Dinners
