Customer Reliability Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Germany Berlin, Barcelona, Spain

TL;DR

Why this role exists: Land value fast and keep it running. You embed with strategic customers to design, build, and operationalize deployments of our platform and then leave behind all required resources and capabilities so that our customers feel confident and self-sufficient.

Why deepset

At deepset, we’re on a mission to make custom AI solutions accessible to every organization. With Haystack, thousands of developers build advanced LLM applications every day, while our enterprise-ready AI Platform helps companies turn large language models into business value. We’re remote-first, flexible, and built on a culture of trust and ownership. You’ll collaborate with top-tier tech talent, tackle meaningful challenges, and help transform complex AI into solutions that are simple, powerful, and ready for the real world.

What you will do

Design & Land

Own technical outcomes from POC → production: integrations, data connectors, workflows, and infra-as-code (Kubernetes/Terraform/Helm).
Produce reference architectures and reusable templates; upstream patterns to Product to reduce future “custom” work.
Unblock enterprise environments: identity (OIDC/SAML), networking, storage, GPU scheduling, observability hooks.

Run & Harden

Define SLOs/Error Budgets with customers; implement end-to-end observability (logs/metrics/traces) and dashboards.
Create runbooks/playbooks; lead L3 incident response and RCAs; drive reliability roadmaps to closure.
Plan/execute upgrades and security patches in change windows; ensure rollback and post-upgrade verification.
Be an active member of the on-call rotation to make sure we deliver excellent customer experience

Partner & Enable

Train customer teams on operations and emergency procedures; hand off cleanly to Support/CSM.
Prioritize reliability and “productization” backlog with Product/Engineering based on field signal.
Document clearly: setup guides, diagrams, SLOs, testing/DR procedures, and “golden path” standards.

Requirements

Hands on experience in programming language in Python (needed for improvements, bug fixing and small feature builds)
5+ years across SRE/Platform/Solutions/FDE, with evidence of shipping customer-facing builds and operating production systems.
Strong with Kubernetes, containers, Linux, IaC (Terraform/Helm), CI/CD, networking (TLS, DNS, ingress/LB), backup/restore.
Observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry/ELK); scripting (Python/Bash).
Enterprise integration experience (SSO, secrets, compliance); confident communicator with execs and engineers under time pressure.
Must be resident of the European Union

Nice to have
