Platform SRE and Reliability Engineer

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking. Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.

The Platform SRE and Reliability Engineer is responsible for ensuring the absolute quality, resilience, and performance of the Bank's next-generation AI and digital platforms. This role focuses on the high-stakes intersection of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and AI Quality Assurance, designing automated frameworks to validate everything from Conversational AI agents and RAG pipelines to core banking microservices. By implementing robust continuous testing pipelines and reliability governance, you will guarantee that the Bank's AI-driven experiences remain secure, scalable, and deterministically accurate under real-world conditions.

As the Platform SRE & Reliability Engineer, your responsibilities include:

• Building reusable automation frameworks to test the accuracy, stability, latency, and safety of Conversational AI platforms (voice and chat) and LLM-based agents
• Validating multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop escalation logic, and the integrity of RAG pipelines and vector search results
• Testing AI/ML platform components for scaling behavior, failover resilience, high availability, and disaster recovery
• Integrating automated test pipelines into CI/CD workflows for MLOps, focusing on drift detection, retraining validation, and model registry integrity
• Verifying AI/ML pipelines on Azure AI Foundry and AWS SageMaker, ensuring data integrity across storage services (S3/Blobs) and serverless functions
• Conducting load testing for AI services and ensure engineering guardrails for fairness, explainability, and regulatory compliance are enforced
• Acting as a bridge between engineering and business, translating complex technical reliability requirements into actionable quality narratives
  
  

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.

While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.

We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.

You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.

If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.
