Continuity Systems Engineer IntegrateWise · Role 04 · Bengaluru

The Mandate

You keep the organizational nervous system alive. Our own operations must be the proof.

The System

Spine health, workflow reliability, cross-system sync, observability, and governance enforcement.

The Law

AI generates code. You validate and merge. Systems enforce consistency. Humans own architecture.

01 Foundation

The Mandate

If our own operations fragment, we are frauds. You make sure the company's nervous system is as reliable as what we sell.

You own the continuity runtime. The Spine, the 8-stage normalizer, Entity 360, API layer, Cloudflare/GCP infrastructure, and agent orchestration wiring. This is not DevOps. This is continuity infrastructure.

You own governance enforcement. The technical boundaries that ensure AI never pollutes canonical truth, humans never lose oversight, and the 4 hard walls are structurally inviolable.

You own observability. Not just uptime monitoring. Operational observability: workflow state, execution history, drift detection, continuity gaps, system health. Everything visible and traceable.

You own the integration fabric. CRMs, communication tools, databases, AI systems, project tools, APIs, workflow engines — connected, governed, and preserved through the Spine.

Engineering Rule — Inviolable

No connector, UI, AI agent, workflow, or runtime may write directly to Spine truth. All writes pass through the canonical 8-stage backend pipeline. You enforce this at the code level, not the policy level.

02 Responsibility

What You Own

These are architectural outcomes. You may delegate implementation, never integrity.

Outcome Ownership
Spine Architecture
Schema design, normalization pipeline, Entity 360 assembly, identity resolution, trust scoring. The canonical nervous system.
API Layer
Cloudflare Workers, routing, edge governance, webhook management, connector contracts. The interface between systems and truth.
Infrastructure
Docker, Linux VPS, Cloudflare, Supabase/Postgres, GCP runtime. The substrate that must never drop memory.
Agent Orchestration
Hermes integration, subagent routing, workflow execution, task graph management. The runtime that serves continuity.
Observability
Drift detection, log analysis, anomaly detection, pipeline monitoring, health dashboards. Trust through visibility.
Security
Secrets rotation, access control, tenant isolation, audit trails. VaultGuard and governance at the infrastructure layer.
03 Boundaries

What You Never Do

Your time is for architecture and validation. Boilerplate belongs to agents.

You never write repetitive boilerplate from scratch. Coding agents generate connectors, tests, and deployment scripts. You review against the 4 hard walls and approve.

You never monitor logs 24/7 manually. Monitoring agents watch uptime, drift, and anomalies. You are alerted when continuity is at risk, not when a metric blips.

You never draft migration scripts from zero. ArchitectIQ proposes schema evolutions. AI prepares migration scripts. You validate for backward compatibility and canonical integrity.

You never restart services by hand. System auto-heals where safe. You approve remediation plans, not execute manual recovery.

You never approve production deploys without review. Every deploy requires your validation + Founder sign-off. Speed without governance is drift.

04 Intelligence

AI Coordination

Agents handle implementation velocity. You handle architectural integrity.

Agent Partnership
ArchitectIQ
Proposes schema evolutions, normalization rules, index strategies, infrastructure changes. You review for continuity impact, not just performance.
Coding Agents
Generate connectors, tests, migration scripts, deployment automation. You validate against the 4 hard walls and merge.
Monitoring Agents
DataSentinel and VaultGuard watch system health, drift, secrets, access patterns. You decide intervention priority.
Hermes
Orchestrates workflow execution, routes tasks, manages the swarm. You govern the orchestration layer and approve critical mutations.
Knowledge Agents
Generate API docs, runbooks, architecture diagrams from code. You validate technical accuracy and approve publish.
05 Rhythm

Daily Pattern

Your day is architecture, validation, and intervention. Not maintenance drudgery.

Daily Operating Rhythm
09:00
Review overnight system health brief. Monitoring agents report: uptime, drift, anomalies, queue depth. 15 minutes.
09:30
Code review: validate AI-generated PRs for connectors, schema changes, infra scripts. Check 4 hard wall compliance.
11:00
Architecture work: schema decisions, connector design, pipeline optimization, integration planning.
14:00
Debug session: AI-summarized anomalies + human root-cause investigation. Decide fix strategy.
16:00
Documentation review: approve agent-generated API docs, runbooks, architecture diagrams.
17:00
Deployment decision: approve or reject release candidates. Founder sign-off for production.
06 Hiring

Must Have

This is not a generalist DevOps role. You are building continuity infrastructure.

4+ years in platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps. You have kept systems alive that others depend on. You understand that downtime is not a metric — it is a continuity breach.

Deep experience with Docker, Linux VPS, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare Workers. Our stack. You know where the bones are buried.

TypeScript/Node.js only. No Python. This is a hard architectural boundary, not a preference. You enforce it in code reviews and infrastructure decisions.

Observability-first mindset. You instrument before optimizing. You understand that observability is continuity — if you cannot see it, you cannot preserve it.

Nice to Have

Experience with AI orchestration layers or agent runtime systems. Multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure design. Security hardening for early-stage infrastructure.

07 Governance

Governance Boundary

AI generates. You review, validate, merge, and approve. Production code is always human-governed.

AI generates code. You review and merge. No AI-generated PR ships without your validation. You check logic, security, continuity impact, and 4 hard wall compliance.

AI proposes schema changes. You approve migration. Schema evolution affects every entity in the Spine. You validate backward compatibility, migration safety, and canonical integrity.

AI monitors production. You decide intervention. Monitoring agents surface anomalies. You decide severity, root cause, and fix strategy. You do not auto-remediate without approval.

AI drafts docs. You validate accuracy. Technical documentation must be canonical. You ensure API docs, runbooks, and architecture specs are precise and current.

Non-Negotiable

No production deployment without your approval + Founder sign-off. No schema mutation without your review. No secrets rotation without your validation. Infrastructure governance is not bureaucratic — it is the wall that keeps continuity alive.

The Only Promise That Matters

Your data is yours.
AI is rented.
That's the only promise that matters.
And only IntegrateWise makes it.
