01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
Day-to-day owner of deploys, infra, and observability. You will pair with the Senior SRE, shadow on-call rotations, and grow into the on-call rotation yourself over 12 months and into a Senior platform engineer role over 24. The role exists for engineers who read postmortems on their own time and who find systems debugging beautiful.
02 — The work
What you will own
- 01 Run deploys + rollback — make the process boring.
- 02 Maintain CI/CD pipelines.
- 03 Maintain the observability stack.
- 04 Participate in the on-call rotation as you grow into it.
- 05 Cost monitoring + optimisation across cloud.
- 06 Write runbooks before they are needed.
03 — The expertise
What we look for
04 — The bar
Who thrives here
- → You have shipped a CI/CD or observability change that engineers thanked you for unprompted.
- → You have shadowed at least one on-call rotation.
- → You have written a runbook for a real incident.
- → You read postmortems for sport.
- → You have an opinion about monorepos and you can defend it.
05 — How we work
The EduRankAI environment
Remote-first, async-first
Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.
High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
Bharat-built, globally ambitious
We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
06 — Hiring process
What to expect after you apply
- 01
