The Principal Data SRE Role - AI Platform & Reliability
The Principal Data SRE is the foundational architect for the infrastructure supporting Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados)'s internal AI transformation. You will join an elite architecture group to build the "Customer Zero" environment, the premier environment that defines Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados)'s production standards for AI and Data Integration. Your mandate is to ensure that the shift to a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) based, "Iceberg-first" data estate is stable, secure, and highly available. You will own reliability for MCP servers, vector databases, and knowledge graph infrastructure, ensuring AI systems have governed, performant access to enterprise data. You will lead the "build from scratch" mandate with high autonomy, prioritizing site reliability and building out robust Iceberg infrastructure while ensuring data engineering workflows are frictionless. This role also serves as a strategic bridge to a larger global SRE cohort across the US and Canada, aligning global standards with local innovation.
What makes this role interesting?
Some of the challenges you’ll work on include:
- Operating mission-critical AI infrastructure: Ensuring reliability and observability for vector databases, graph databases, and MCP servers powering agentic AI pipelines and autonomous workflows.
- Designing resilient distributed systems at global scale: Implementing fault isolation using N+M cluster architectures, predictive monitoring, and self-healing patterns to detect anomalies before they impact service.
- Architecting the Iceberg-first data estate: Leading the infrastructure implementation of Apache Iceberg, defining reference architectures (ADRs) for metadata lifecycle management, manifest file optimization, and snapshot retention.
- Supporting high-performance AI retrieval systems: Maintaining infrastructure capable of delivering high-dimensional semantic search with sub-second P99 query latency.
- Collaborating with principal engineering leaders: Partnering with the Principal Applied AI Engineer and Principal Data Engineer to remove architectural bottlenecks and support large-scale AI workloads.
- Enabling frictionless data engineering workflows: Developing self-service infrastructure and guardrails-as-code that allow data engineers to deploy and scale pipelines without operational friction.
- Mentoring the engineering organization: Providing reliability guidance and scalable infrastructure patterns to the Senior Data Engineer and broader engineering team.
Here’s how you’ll be making an impact:
In this role, your work will directly influence how AI systems access, process, and learn from enterprise data. You’ll ensure the platform is resilient, efficient, and ready to support future innovation.
- Defining reliability standards for AI infrastructure: Establishing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and observability for vector databases, graph databases, and MCP servers.
- Ensuring secure and scalable MCP communication: Managing transport layers, authentication, and secure communication between host applications and AI systems.
- Operating the Iceberg lakehouse architecture: Maintaining data integrity, metadata consistency, and snapshot lifecycle management across the Iceberg-first data estate while maintaining a reliable open lakehouse foundation for AI knowledge workloads.
- Reducing operational toil through automation: Implementing predictive monitoring, self-healing systems, and automation-first infrastructure to minimize manual operational work.
- Optimizing the economics of AI infrastructure: Driving cost efficiency using smart cloud infrastructure strategies, monitoring the unit economics of AI workloads, and implementing serverless metadata polling, adaptive optimization, and semantic caching.
- Enforcing architectural guardrails: Ensuring security, compliance, and data protection by design across internal AI systems.
- Raising the bar for reliability engineering globally: Acting as a technical multiplier by coaching global teams on modern SRE practices and scaling reliability standards across Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados)’s AI platform.
We’re looking for a teammate with:
Required
- Experience: 8+ years leading SRE or infrastructure architecture in multi-cloud environments.
- Infrastructure Expertise: Deep expertise in Kubernetes (K8s) scaling for data workloads, Terraform or Pulumi for IaC, and modern observability stacks (e.g., OpenTelemetry).
- Lakehouse Experience: Proven record of managing Apache Iceberg at scale, including metadata management, partitioning strategies, and cross-engine consistency.
- Influence Skills: Strong ability to translate strategic vision into technical guardrails and mentor engineering teams on reliability best practices.
- Language: Expert-level English (Native or Professional) for global collaboration across time zones.
Preferred
- MCP Experience: Experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including hosting secure, scalable MCP servers and managing transport layers for AI systems.
- Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados) Product Familiarity: Experience with Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados) Sense, Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados) Cloud, or Confidencial (Apenas para Cadastrados) Talend Cloud.
- Automation Focus: Background in software engineering with a focus on building automation-first workflows and reducing MTTR. Reporting Line and Collaboration
