How to Apply for Site Reliability Engineer

at AMP Robotics

🏢 About AMP Robotics

AMP Robotics is revolutionizing recycling through AI-powered robotics that sort recyclable materials with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike traditional tech companies, they're tackling environmental sustainability directly by reducing waste through automation. Working here means contributing to tangible environmental impact while solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of hardware and software.

About This Role

This Site Reliability Engineer role uniquely splits time equally between support operations and development work, focusing on maintaining AI-powered recycling systems in industrial facilities. You'll directly impact recycling efficiency by ensuring system uptime and developing tools to prevent downtime. The role bridges software engineering with physical operations, requiring both technical troubleshooting and development skills to support real-world industrial automation.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by triaging support tickets from recycling facilities, troubleshooting issues ranging from hardware malfunctions to software bugs while maintaining SLA compliance. You might spend the morning developing Prometheus exporters to improve system observability, then shift to updating Ansible playbooks for automated issue mitigation. Throughout the day, you'll balance immediate support needs with longer-term development projects aimed at preventing future incidents.
