• Participation in on call rotations (primarily during your daytime)
Requirements
• Experience in AI driven development & debugging
• 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps / SRE (some years could be

Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Tell me about a project where devops was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where sre was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where infrastructure as code was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where ci cd was part of your work. What did you do?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI Agents, Devops, Sre, Infrastructure As Code, and Ci Cd. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
