Our platform helps contractors, engineering firms, and utilities unlock valuable insights from sewer inspection data-turning hours of manual video review into actionable intelligence in minutes. After doubling our customer base over the past year, we’re now entering an exciting phase of accelerated growth.\nAbout the Role\nWe're hiring a senior engineer to bring AI agents into how the whole company works. You'll find the repetitive, manual work that doesn’t need to exist, in engineering and well beyond it, and build agentic workflows that take that work off people's plates and let them do things they couldn't do before. You'll also own the internal platform those agents run on, so they're reliable, observable, and secure.\nThis is a new kind of role, and it doesn't fit a standard title. It sits between SRE, automation, and applied AI. You don't need to be a career software engineer. You do need to think like an operator, write solid code, and have good judgment about where an agent helps and where it doesn't. You'll work with people in every part of the company, so learning how each team works matters as much as the technology.\nThis is a remote role on the SRE team. It is not part of the on-call rotation.\nWhat You'll Work On\nFind the Work Worth Automating: Work with engineering, operations, customer success, finance, and other teams to find high-value automation opportunities, then design, build, and ship agentic workflows for them.\n\nEliminate Engineering Toil: Automate SRE and engineering chores such as alert triage, ticket creation and routing, incident follow-ups, dependency updates, and CI maintenance.\n\nBuild for Non-Technical Teams: Ship tools that teams can rely on without needing to understand how they work under the hood.\n\nOwn the Agent Platform: Run the internal platform our agents run on, including sandboxed execution, secrets management, network egress controls, permissions, and cost controls.\n\nTreat Agents Like Production Systems: Back every workflow with evals, observability, alerting, runbooks, and clear failure modes.\n\nSet the Guardrails: Define what agents can access and do, with least privilege, human approval for risky actions, and audit trails.\n\nMake It Repeatable: Document patterns and build reusable components so others can safely build their own agent workflows.\n\nProve the Value: Measure impact (hours saved, response times, adoption) and retire workflows that don't pay off.\n\nRequired Technical Skills\nAgentic Workflows: Hands-on experience building and running agentic or LLM-powered workflows in a real environment, not just prototypes.\n\nProgramming: Strong Python or TypeScript scripting, including API integrations and glue code, and the ability to read and modify production code.\n\nCloud Infrastructure: Solid working knowledge of AWS and cloud security fundamentals.\n\nInfrastructure as Code: Experience with Terraform/OpenTofu or a similar tool.\n\nCI/CD: Experience building and maintaining automated pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions.\n\nNice-to-Have Skills\nSecurity Background (big plus): Experience with agent and LLM risks (prompt injection, data exfiltration, over-privileged tools), secrets management, IAM, or sandboxing and isolation.\n\nBusiness Knowledge: Familiarity with how teams like sales, finance, customer success, or operations work day to day. This isn't required. How quickly you can learn a new domain matters more than what you already know.\n\nWorkflow orchestration with Temporal.io or similar.\n\nLLM evaluation frameworks and observability tooling.\n\nExperience with Claude Code, MCP, and integrations with tools like Slack, Linear, and Notion.\n\nExperience in the infrastructure, utility, or geospatial domains.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n6+ years in SRE, DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering.\n\nAn operator's mindset: you think about what happens when a workflow fails at 2am, before it ships.\n\nThe judgment to tell a process that needs an agent from one that needs a cron job, or no automation at all.\n\nStrong communication skills. You'll work with people in very different roles, from finance to customer success to field operations. You need to understand how their work gets done, find what's actually slowing them down, and explain tradeoffs in plain language.\n\nStrong organization. Requests will come from across the company at once. You need to prioritize them, keep stakeholders updated, and see projects through to adoption.\n\nComfort turning vague pain points into concrete automations, even in areas you've never worked in before.\n\nWhat You'll Gain\nDefine a New Discipline: Shape a role and a practice that barely exists yet.\n\nCompany-Wide Impact: Your work will touch every team, not just engineering.\n\nOwnership: The autonomy to decide which problems are worth solving and how to solve them well.\n\nMeaningful Work: Help a team building technology that keeps critical city infrastructure working.\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nBase Salary: $150,000-190,00\n\nBenefits include:\nMedical, Dental, Vision, Basic Life, 401(k), and more\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nTools and resources to support success\n\nCompetitive compensation with high-growth potential\n\nWhy Join SewerAI?\nJoin the fastest-growing team in wastewater tech and help modernize critical infrastructure with AI. You’ll own high-visibility projects, influence how our brand meets the market, and see your work drive measurable impact for customers and communities.\n_______________________________________________________________________\nSewerAI is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
