Product Reliability Engineer

OpsMill is building Infrahub, a schema-driven infrastructure source of truth that helps teams unify data and scale automation reliably. The Product Reliability Engineer will be responsible for diagnosing issues in customer environments and building tools and processes to ensure reliability in on-prem deployments.

Software Development

Responsibilities

Partner directly with customers and with our Solution Architecture/Customer Success teams on L2/L3 escalations—communicating findings, driving root-cause analysis, and resolving complex packaging, deployment, upgrade, and runtime issues across heterogeneous Kubernetes environments
Drive issues to resolution by reproducing problems locally, isolating root causes, and coordinating fixes with engineering—then documenting learnings in crisp RCAs that become actionable improvements
Build and maintain diagnostics tooling including support bundles, health checks, environment validators, and "what changed?" helpers that make future troubleshooting 10x faster
Own the test automation infrastructure roadmap, improving CI stability, reducing flaky tests, and creating reproducible integration/e2e environments that catch issues before customers do
Establish and maintain performance baselines and regression tests that serve as actionable gates, helping teams catch scale and latency issues early
Improve installation and upgrade robustness by identifying recurring failure modes and eliminating them through product changes, automation, and guardrails
Write production-quality code in Python, Go, or Rust for internal tooling and product improvements that directly enhance reliability
Close the reliability feedback loop by systematically turning field issues into better tests, observability, documentation, and product defaults—measuring success through reduced time-to-resolution and fewer repeat incidents

Background running CI/CD at scale including test parallelization, hermetic environments, and artifact management
Familiarity with performance tooling such as profiling, load generation, and benchmark harnesses
Previous experience in customer-facing technical roles like escalation engineering, support engineering, or solutions engineering
Contributions to open source projects, especially in infrastructure, observability, or reliability tooling
