• Contribute to and evolve SRE practices, including SLIs/SLOs, incident management, and postmortems
• Support and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
• Identify and reduce operational complexity across systems and tooling
• Work across infrastructure and application layers to diagnose and resolve reliability and performance issues, including making targeted improvements to application code when needed
• Support infrastructure and platform capabilities required for AI/ML-powered features, including scaling, performance, and reliability considerations
• Monitor and optimize infrastructure costs across cloud environments
• Contribute to capacity planning and cost forecasting for infrastructure and services
• Identify opportunities to improve performance and efficiency at the system level
• Evaluate and optimize the cost and performance of compute-intensive workloads (e.g., AI/ML services), ensuring efficient resource usage and scalability
• Work with third-party vendors and tools that support Fable’s infrastructure and operations
• Help evaluate, select, and manage tools and services to support platform reliability and scalability
• Support vendor-related troubleshooting and ongoing service improvements
• Partner with Engineering teams to improve reliability, performance, and operational readiness of new features
• Partner with application engineering teams to improve service architecture, performance, and observability, and help define best practices for building reliable, scalable systems
• Act as a point of support and escalation for production issues
• Collaborate across teams to manage dependencies and ensure smooth system operations
• Contribute to building strong SRE and operational practices across the organization
• Share knowledge through documentation, pairing, and technical discussions
• Help onboard and support more junior team members as the team grows

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure Engineering, or Platform Engineering
• Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience building internal platforms, tooling, or shared services that improve developer productivity and system reliability
• Experience designing systems that bridge infrastructure and application layers
• Ability to work across the stack: comfortable reading, debugging, and making changes to application code (e.g., backend services, APIs) when needed to improve reliability, performance, or observability
• Experience with at least one backend programming language (e.g., Node.js, Python, Go, Java)
• Strong experience with monitoring, observability, and alerting tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD systems and modern deployment practices
• Experience managing infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Experience optimizing system performance and infrastructure costs
• Familiarity with security and compliance considerations in cloud environments
• Experience working with third-party vendors and infrastructure tools
• Familiarity with infrastructure considerations for AI/ML workloads (e.g., high-compute services, data pipelines, or third-party AI platforms) is a strong asset
• Curiosity about emerging technologies and their impact on infrastructure, reliability, and cost at scale
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate complex systems
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
