Staff Site Reliability Engineer

About Talonic

We do enterprise document ingestion — capture a document once into a canonical field registry, then project it to any schema, no re-extraction. Stack: AWS, Docker, Railway. We've never had a dedicated reliability owner and it's starting to show. You'd be the first: SLOs and an error-budget policy that actually gets honoured, observability worth paging on, post-mortems that change the architecture, deploys nobody dreads. Target is 99.9%. Compliance is real here (GDPR, ISO 27001/42001, HIPAA), so reliability and audit work overlap. Haven't used Railway? Fine, we'll onboard you. We ship with Claude Code day to day — if that's interesting rather than irritating, good. Process: founder chat (bring a Sev1 you've owned), a paid day building with us on something real, team fit, references.

Job Description

Talonic is building an enterprise document ingestion platform and is seeking a founding Staff Site Reliability Engineer. You'd be the first dedicated reliability owner, responsible for defining SLOs and an error-budget policy, building observability worthy of paging, conducting post-mortems that drive architectural changes, and supporting deploys with reliable processes. Target uptime is 99.9%. The role emphasizes compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001/42001, and HIPAA, so reliability and audit work overlap. We onboard Railway and ship with Claude Code; process includes founder chat, a paid day building with us on something real, team fit, and references.
