Legion is seeking a Principal Software Engineer focused on DevOps and site reliability to build and operate a secure, scalable AWS and Kubernetes cloud platform. The role owns infrastructure automation, CI/CD, observability, production alerting, incident investigation, operational runbooks, and an on-call rotation. It also has a major platform-engineering mandate to build reliable internal AI agents for SRE workflows and establish guardrails, sandboxing, scoped credentials, cost controls, and observability for agent use. Candidates need deep senior-level experience across AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Linux, programming, monitoring systems, and production-grade agentic AI. This is a remote United States position supporting Legion's workforce-management SaaS platform. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a principal-level reliability and platform role requiring 12+ years of operations experience plus hands-on expertise in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, observability, and production AI agents.

I would use infrastructure as code for repeatable environments, isolate workloads through network and IAM boundaries, build multi-AZ resilience, implement autoscaling and capacity planning, and establish tested backup and disaster-recovery procedures. I would also define service-level indicators and error budgets so reliability decisions are measured against customer impact. Describe how you have used Terraform to improve infrastructure delivery and governance. I organize Terraform into reusable, versioned modules with environment-specific configuration and remote state protection. Changes flow through pull-request review, automated validation, policy checks, and controlled apply pipelines. I also use least-privilege deployment identities, drift detection, and documented ownership to make infrastructure changes auditable and safe. What is your approach to responding to a high-severity production alert? I first validate the alert and assess customer impact, then establish incident ownership and communications. I mitigate the immediate issue using documented runbooks or safe rollback options while preserving evidence for diagnosis. After recovery, I lead a blameless root-cause analysis, prioritize corrective actions, and improve alerts or automation to reduce recurrence. How would you safely introduce AI agents into SRE operations? I would start with bounded, low-risk use cases such as alert enrichment and incident summarization, with human approval for consequential actions. Each agent should have scoped credentials, sandboxed execution, allowlisted tools, detailed audit logs, evaluation datasets, cost limits, and deterministic rollback paths. I would measure quality, failure modes, and operational impact before expanding agent permissions or autonomy. How do you scale observability without creating excessive cost or alert fatigue? I define a telemetry strategy around actionable service-level indicators and retain high-cardinality data selectively. I use structured logs, trace sampling, dashboard standards, and tiered retention policies to balance diagnostic value with cost. For alerting, I tune thresholds around customer impact, deduplicate related symptoms, route alerts to clear owners, and regularly review noisy or non-actionable signals.

Join us in making hourly work rewarding and fulfilling. ### BACKGROUND AND OPPORTUNITY There are almost 75 million hourly workers in the United States, representing more than half of the entire workforce. Historically, managing hourly employees has been difficult due to high attrition (average of 60%) and high replacement costs (average of $3,200 per employee in retail). The ongoing labor shortage and competition from the gig economy make it more difficult to attract and retain hourly employees. The top reasons hourly employees leave their jobs are a lack of schedule empowerment, poor communication with employers, and an inability to get paid early. Gen Z and the millennial workforce demand gig-like flexibility, modern technology, and compelling work options. Legion’s mission is to turn hourly jobs into good jobs, serving the hourly workers who make up the majority of the US workforce. We believe in empowering employees and helping employers be efficient and innovative by enabling intelligent automation powered by Legion’s Workforce Management platform to optimize labor efficiency and enhance the employee experience simultaneously. Legion WFM was built for the cloud with AI at the core and designed to handle the complexity of modern businesses and meet the needs of today’s hourly employees. Our team is comprised of dedicated individuals from all backgrounds and experiences, globally distributed across all time zones.
