About

• Towards the end of our interview process is an in-person interview.
• Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack?

• At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.
• We are at the forefront of network security, helping organizations protect their environments with an open NDR platform that delivers unparalleled network visibility. We are looking for a passionate and driven Pre-Sales Engineer to join our team, contributing to our mission of helping customers stay ahead of evolving threats.
• As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will design, automate, and scale cloud and hybrid platforms that power AI/ML workloads and SaaS services. You’ll collaborate with engineering teams to build reliable, secure, and observable infrastructure, manage Kubernetes environments, and enable CI/CD pipelines for continuous delivery of AI models and applications at scale. Your expertise in cloud, DevOps, and MLOps will drive performance, uptime, and innovation across production systems.
• Responsibilities
• Design, deploy, and scale AI/ML/LLM infrastructure across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) ensuring high reliability and performance.
• Manage and optimize Kubernetes environments (EKS, AKS, GKE) for AI services, data pipelines, and model operations.
• Build and automate end-to-end data and model pipelines for fine-tuning, inference, and RAG workloads using Terraform, Python, and CI/CD tooling.
• Utilize automation tools such as GitOps, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) to streamline ML/LLM tasks across the Large Language Model lifecycle.
• Implement monitoring, observability, and reliability best practices using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Langfuse, and SLI/SLO/SLA frameworks.
• Lead incident response, performance tuning, and cost optimization across AI infrastructure and production workloads.
• Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years in SRE, DevOps, Platform Engineering, MLOps, or Cloud Infrastructure roles.
• 3+ years building software infrastructure in a disributed systems architecture environment.
• 3+ years of production experience with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS) and containerization tools like Docker.
• Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency in Bash, Go, or PowerShell.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Experience with Kubernetes Operators, Helm, GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux), or Service Mesh (Istio, Linkerd).
• Exposure to serverless compute (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions).
• Experience building or automating data and model pipelines for AI/ML/LLM workloads (e.g., RAG, fine-tuning, inference).
• Strong understanding of observability and monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Langfuse, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with SLI/SLO/SLA practices, incident response, and reliability engineering in production environments.
• Nice to Have
• Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP – e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer).
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks (CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen)
• Work with vector databases and RAG frameworks (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma).
• Background in hybrid or on-prem AI deployments, including OpenShift or Rancher.
• Familiarity with configuration management (Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
• Contributions to open-source AI/ML, DevOps, or platform tooling.
• Experience with multimodal AI or model observability platforms (RAGAS, AgentOps, Langtrace), Distributed Tracing, OpenTelemetry
• Knowledge of performance tuning, cost efficiency, or capacity planning for AI/LLM infrastructure.
• Understanding of security controls and FedRAMP compliance for cloud and various workloads
• Fueled by investments from top-tier venture capital organizations such as Crowdstrike, Accel and Insight, Corelight is the fastest growing network detection and response platform in the industry. Our customers trust us to protect mission-critical assets in leading enterprises, government, and research institutions worldwide.
