Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.\nOur customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work - every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.\nJoin a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers - and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Platform Reliability Engineer to own the reliability, operability, and evolution of our internal engineering platform. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of platform engineering, reliability, and intelligent automation with a clear mandate: reduce toil, improve observability, and enable systems (AI agents) to safely operate at scale.\nYou'll work directly with engineering teams to harden services, respond to incidents, and build automation that makes the platform increasingly self-managing over time. A key aspect of this role is designing and operating AI-driven and agent-based workflows, including the guardrails, validation systems, and observability needed to allow automated systems to safely generate and act on changes in production environments.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn reliability, availability, and performance of the internal platform and critical services\n\nParticipate in on-call rotations; lead incident triage, debugging, root cause analysis, and post-mortems\n\nBuild and operate platform automation and AI-powered workflows (including agent-based systems) to reduce manual operational effort\n\nDesign and implement guardrails, validation pipelines, and safety mechanisms for automated and AI-generated changes to code and infrastructure\n\nEnable closed-loop automation systems (detect → diagnose → remediate → validate) to improve system resilience\n\nDefine and track SLIs and SLOs; use reliability data to guide engineering decisions\n\nStandardize build, deployment, and release workflows for safe, predictable delivery, including automation-friendly and AI-integrated pipelines\n\nIdentify and remediate security vulnerabilities across systems and services, including risks introduced by automated changes\n\nPartner with development teams on service design, resilience, and operability, with an emphasis on automation-first and AI-compatible system design\n\nRequired Qualifications\n6+ years of experience operating production platforms or large-scale distributed systems\n\nProven track record in incident management, on-call operations, and production debugging\n\nStrong programming skills in Java, Python, Go, Shell, or equivalent\n\nHands-on experience with observability tooling (monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing)\n\nExperience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines and release processes\n\nFamiliarity with platform upgrades, dependency management, and system lifecycle operations\n\nExperience building or integrating AI-driven (agent-based) automation frameworks, or strong interest in this space\n\nWorking knowledge of Linux-based production environments\n\nStrong communication and cross-team collaboration skills\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with SRE frameworks: SLOs, error budgets, reliability reviews\n\nExperience with chaos engineering or resilience testing\n\nBackground in building self-healing systems\n\nHistory of driving platform standardization across large engineering organizations\n\nWhat Success Looks Like at 6 Months\nPlatform reliability metrics are tracked, visible, and trending in the right direction\n\nOn-call burden is measurably reduced through automation and better runbooks\n\nAt least one significant automation or autonomous remediation initiative shipped and adopted by engineering teams\n\nPlatform upgrades and rollouts are executed safely with documented processes\n\nAI-driven or automated changes are safely deployed with clear guardrails, observability, and rollback mechanism\n\nKey Traits\nStrong ownership mentality. Calm under pressure. Bias toward automation. Systems thinker who doesn't just fix problems but builds systems that prevent, detect, and autonomously remediate issues over time.\nAdditional Details\neBay is an equal opportunity employer.
