ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a Staff Platform Reliability Engineer to own reliability engineering for the Ziing.ai platform.

This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who can build reliable systems, not just operate them. You will work across cloud infrastructure, backend services, APIs, integrations, data pipelines, event streams, observability, incident response, deployment reliability, performance, and platform automation.

Ziing.ai powers high-stakes logistics workflows where reliability directly affects delivery performance, customer trust,



driver productivity, operational control, SLA adherence, and financial accuracy. The platform coordinates routing, dispatch, driver execution, real-time visibility, compliance workflows, partner handoffs, analytics, and reconciliation across complex delivery networks.

You will help ensure those systems are observable, scalable, resilient, secure, and easy for engineering teams to operate. You will participate in on-call, lead reliability improvements, reduce operational toil, build automation, define SLOs, strengthen incident response, and partner with engineering and product teams to make reliability part of how Ziing.ai is designed and shipped.

This is not a people-management role. It is a high-impact IC role for someone who can lead through technical depth, ownership, influence, and execution.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Platform Reliability and Operational Excellence

- Own reliability engineering for critical Ziing.ai platform services across routing, dispatch, driver workflows, visibility, compliance, integrations, analytics, and financial workflows.
- Build and improve the systems, standards, tooling, and practices that allow Ziing.ai to run safely and predictably in production.
- Partner with engineering teams to identify reliability risks early in design, implementation, deployment, and operation.




- Define reliability patterns for services, APIs, queues, databases, event pipelines, mobile backend workflows, and third-party integrations.
- Ensure reliability improvements are tied to business-critical workflows, not only infrastructure-level metrics.
- Support production readiness reviews for major platform changes, customer-impacting launches, and high-risk integrations.
- Help ensure Ziing.ai can operate reliably in regulated, audit-ready, and high-expectation delivery environments.
- Lead or support incident response for high-severity issues affecting Ziing.ai platform availability, data correctness, delivery execution, integrations, or customer-facing workflows.

Infrastructure and Automation

- Identify repetitive operational work and replace it with reliable automation.
- Automate routine checks for service health, integration health, data freshness, queue backlogs, failed jobs, latency spikes, and abnormal workflow behavior.
- Explore practical AI-assisted reliability workflows, including incident summarization, anomaly detection, log analysis, alert correlation, runbook recommendations, and change-impact analysis.
- Partner with platform and backend engineering to improve cloud architecture, infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, environment consistency, and release safety.
- Improve deployment reliability through progressive delivery, health checks, automated rollback, smoke tests, canary releases, and release observability.
- Build observability across logs, metrics, traces, events, queues, APIs, mobile backend services, integrations, and data pipelines.
- Ensure the team can quickly answer what is
