**Vapi (/ˈVɑːpi/):**

**Why We’re Hiring This Role:**

- Vapi ships hundreds of pull requests a day while serving some of the world’s largest enterprises. Every release must stay fast, safe, observable, and predictable at scale.

- Our CI and deployment systems are critical product infrastructure. We need a senior/staff engineer to remove bottlenecks, repair fragile deploy paths, and increase confidence without slowing product teams.

- You’ll own the systems behind safe releases, including Argo CD, Terraform, and Atlantis—and automate the reliable path. This role focuses on CI/CD, testing, and deployment safety, not primary incident response.

**What You’ll Do:**

- **30 Days:** Map Vapi’s release architecture end to end. Partner with product and infrastructure engineers, baseline CI/test/deploy performance, identify the biggest failure modes, and ship an initial improvement.

- **60 Days:** Own the release-tooling roadmap and operating health. Remove the costliest CI/deploy bottlenecks, improve observability and diagnosis, and automate slow or failure-prone workflows.

- **90 Days:** Establish a repeatable model for safe, fast releases with measurable gains in validation time, deploy speed, and reliability. Deliver self-service workflows and guardrails, and set the longer-term release-infrastructure roadmap.

**Who You Are:**

- Evidence of owning critical CI/CD or release infrastructure at meaningful scale and driving measurable cross-team improvements. We care about impact, not a specific number of years.

- Strong distributed-systems fundamentals and the ability to diagnose failures across build, test, deployment, and infrastructure layers.

- Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes-based delivery systems and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Argo CD, Terraform, and Atlantis or comparable systems.

- A habit of automating repetitive work, investing in testing and passive defenses, and using data to prove that a system became faster or more reliable.

- Deep curiosity and the ability to gather context quickly, form a clear point of view, and keep pace as the architecture and product evolve.

- A low-ego teammate who communicates clearly and owns outcomes. Familiarity with AI coding tools is expected; experience as an SRE, with development frameworks like multi-agent workflows, and programming languages like TypeScript and Go are a plus.

- This is a full-time, hybrid role in San Francisco.

**How We Work:**

- **Build something worthy of love**

  * Craft matters. We aim to build products and experiences customers genuinely love, not just tolerate.

- **Commit and follow through**

  * We finish what we start and build trust by being people others can count on.

- **Why not today?**

  * We value urgency and momentum. The fastest path to customer value usually wins.

- **Seek raw input**

  * We go directly to customers, data, and teammates instead of relying on summaries or assumptions.

- **It’s our problem**

  * We operate as one team. We share credit, own mistakes together, and support each other when things get hard.

- **Be direct and kind**

  * We give feedback clearly, respectfully, and without delay.

**Why Vapi:**

- **Generational impact**: Build the *human interface* for every business

- **Ownership culture**: Many of us are previous founders

- **Kind team**: The founders, Jordan and Nikhil, are Canadians

- **Tier-1 Investors**: YC, KP seed, Bessemer Series A

**What We Offer:**

- **Real stake**: $235,000–$280,000 base salary, plus meaningful equity ownership

- **Comprehensive health coverage**: medical, dental, and vision plans

- **Team love**: We love hanging out, and we do quarterly off-sites

- **Flexible time off**: take what you need

- **More**: catered meals, transportation, equipment, and a $10k annual L&D budget
