Member of Technical Staff, Agentic Release Engineer at Vapi | LAYIQ

30 Days: Map Vapi’s release architecture end to end. Partner with product and infrastructure engineers, baseline CI/test/deploy performance, identify the biggest failure modes, and ship an initial improvement.
60 Days: Own the release-tooling roadmap and operating health. Remove the costliest CI/deploy bottlenecks, improve observability and diagnosis, and automate slow or failure-prone workflows.
90 Days: Establish a repeatable model for safe, fast releases with measurable gains in validation time, deploy speed, and reliability. Deliver self-service workflows and guardrails, and set the longer-term release-infrastructure roadmap.
Who You Are: Evidence of owning critical CI/CD or release infrastructure at meaningful scale and driving measurable cross-team improvements. We care about impact, not a specific number of years.
Strong distributed-systems fundamentals and the ability to diagnose failures across build, test, deployment, and infrastructure layers.
Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes-based delivery systems and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Argo CD, Terraform, and Atlantis or comparable systems.
A habit of automating repetitive work, investing in testing and passive defenses, and using data to prove that a system became faster or more reliable.
Deep curiosity and the ability to gather context quickly, form a clear point of view, and keep pace as the architecture and product evolve.
A low-ego teammate who communicates clearly and owns outcomes. Familiarity with AI coding tools is expected; experience as an SRE, with development frameworks like multi-agent workflows, and programming languages like TypeScript and Go are a plus.
This is a full-time, hybrid role in San Francisco.
How We Work: Build something worthy of love
Craft matters. We aim to build products and experiences customers genuinely love, not just tolerate.
Commit and follow through
We finish what we start and build trust by being people others can count on.
Why not today?
We value urgency and momentum. The fastest path to customer value usually wins.
Seek raw input
We go directly to customers, data, and teammates instead of relying on summaries or assumptions.
It’s our problem
We operate as one team. We share credit, own mistakes together, and support each other when things get hard.
Be direct and kind
We give feedback clearly, respectfully, and without delay.
