Platform Reliability Engineer in Montréal

Montréal Full-Time On-site
A
  • In this role you make the platform visible and dependable. You'll build the OpenTelemetry instrumentation, observability integrations, tracing, SLOs, alerting, and cost monitoring for token and compute spend
  • When an agent is slow, wrong or expensive, your work is how the team finds out and fixes it. This is a named-team engagement, so the person we propose is the person who starts
  • Instrumentation: Build OpenTelemetry instrumentation standards for agents, tools and platform services, and make it easy for teams to adopt
  • Observability Integration: Connect AgentCore Observability and CloudWatch with the client's existing observability tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, Grafana)
  • Tracing: Set up end-to-end tracing across agent steps, model calls, tool calls and multi-agent handoffs so issues can be traced to their source
  • SLOs and Alerting: Define SLOs for latency, availability and error rates, and build alerting that is useful and not noisy
  • Cost Monitoring: Track token usage and compute spend by team, agent and environment, with dashboards, budgets and alerts for unexpected spikes
  • Incident Readiness: Write runbooks, support incident response and run post-incident reviews that lead to real fixes
  • Scripting and coding skills in Python, Go or TypeScript
  • Clear communication and able to turn data into decisions for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Experience building cost visibility and FinOps reporting on AWS (Cost Explorer, CUR, tagging strategies)
  • Experience with Amazon CloudWatch and at least one enterprise observability platform (Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, New Relic or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry (SDKs, collectors, exporters) and distributed tracing
  • 6+ years in SRE, platform reliability or observability engineering, with strong hands-on AWS experience
  • Experience defining and running SLOs, error budgets and alerting strategies
  • Experience monitoring LLM or agent-based applications, including token usage, latency and quality signals
  • Familiarity with LLM observability tools (e.g., Langfuse, Arize, LangSmith) or AgentCore Observability
  • Prior experience and connections in the Life Sciences industry is preferred
  • You have prior experience in consulting
  • You want to know what's happening in a system before a user tells you
  • You work well inside a client team and build trust quickly
  • You treat cost as a reliability concern, not an afterthought
  • You build alerts people trust and dashboards people actually open
  • Experience in pharma, life sciences or another regulated industry
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or AWS CDK) for monitoring resources
  • You stay calm in incidents and focus on learning afterward
