Site Reliability Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience running critical systems at scale — you've designed and built complex systems while operating with autonomy and ownership. Your strong infrastructure background allows you to tackle technical challenges effectively, ensuring a customer-first mindset in everything you do.

You value efficiency in processes and operations, displaying a preference for automation over manual processes — you are allergic to ops work and strive to optimize workflows. Familiarity with a major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP is essential, as you possess the ability to build and operate systems in a multi-cloud environment.

Your understanding of large-scale Linux environments is robust — you know how to manage and maintain these systems effectively. You thrive in collaborative settings, working alongside various software engineering teams to provide expertise about running systems at scale.

Desirable

Experience with container orchestration tools like Kubernetes would be a plus, as would familiarity with monitoring and alerting tools. A background in automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines will enhance your ability to contribute to the team.
