Employment Type: full
Description
Palona brings the newest advancements in generative, multimodal AI, Real World AI, to the hospitality industry. Our engineers deliver at a fast pace to stay ahead of the AI industry, employing generative AI models to power products that are constantly evolving. In this environment, traditional software excellence principles must adapt to probabilistic outputs -- AI systems don't fail the way conventional software does. This role exists to build the engineering discipline that catches failures before customers do.
You will work across evaluation pipelines, observability, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD for Palona's AI agent platform. The role is equal parts DevOps and AI reliability: managing production infrastructure while building the tooling that keeps AI agents performing at quality.
Responsibilities
As an AI Reliability Engineer, you will:
- Design and build observability systems that detect quality degradation, latency issues, and system anomalies in production, including instrumentation, dashboards, and alerting
- Write and maintain automated tests for agent output quality, including deterministic checks and LLM-as-judge evaluations
- Develop release and validation systems that automate deployments across environments and enforce quality gates for AI-powered products
- Build and evolve platform infrastructure across environments using infrastructure as code, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency
- Build and extend evaluation pipelines that assess AI agent conversation quality, accuracy, and safety, collaborating with product and engineering to evolve evaluation criteria
- Design and build internal tools and services that support AI reliability, evaluation, and operational workflows
- Architect new systems from scratch to address emerging reliability and quality challenges across the AI agent platform
- Write production-grade code for reliability and evaluation infrastructure, contributing as a software engineer — not just an operator
