Founding Platform/SRE Engineer - Sandbox, Cost & Observability

Why this role

Forge’s core promise is safe sandboxed agents + real‑time cost governance + auditable execution. You’ll build the production foundations that make that promise true: secure epoxy runtimes, token→USD metering, end‑to‑end observability, and safe deploy/rollback.

What you’ll own

Ephemeral execution environments for agents/tools (containers / Firecracker / WASM), with CPU/mem/disk/network quotas, secrets brokering, and isolation hardening

Cost governance infrastructure : accurate token→USD accounting, per‑tenant budgets, anomaly detection, enforcement hooks (throttle/downshift/queue)

Release engineering : CI/CD, canaries/blue‑green, rollbacks, feature flags, backups/DR, incident response

Impact (first 90 days)

60 days : ephemeral sandbox in cloud with quotas + network policies; $/task dashboards; alerting/runbooks

90 days : budget enforcement in production; canary releases + rollbacks; hardened IAM/secrets; measurable reliability + cost SLOs

Success metrics

p95 latency and $/task visible for core workflows

Less than 1% budget overruns, with automated detection and enforcement

SLOs + alerts in place; MTTR improving with each incident

Requirements (must‑have)

3–8+ years in platform/SRE/systems engineering; you’ve owned production services

Strong with IaC (Terraform) and cloud networking/security fundamentals (IAM, secrets, TLS)

Comfortable with container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS or equivalent)

Proven experience implementing observability (OTel + metrics/logs/traces) and on‑call/incident practices

Nice to have

Experience with FinOps in usage‑metered systems (LLMs, APIs, multi‑tenant platforms)

Language Skills

Strong conversational English for team interactions. (C1/C2)

Professional proficiency in English for documentation, code reviews, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Soft Skills

Curiosity and eagerness to learn across the tech stack.

Strong problem‑solving and debugging skills.

Ability to work collaboratively in distributed teams.

Good communication and time‑management skills.
