Work with product and software development colleagues to improve the resiliency and reliability of our products. Mentor team members in all aspects of SRE work.
Manage your productivity and workload in a work-from-home environment
Use a data-driven approach to identify changes to the product architecture to improve reliability, performance, and availability. Fully understand production environments and the end-to-end delivery process. Identify parts of the system that do not scale and drive solutions for these problem areas. Maintain and improve Service Level Indicators (SLI) that align with availability and performance targets. Build quality into the team's work by encouraging refactoring, testing, and breaking up the team’s work into small, releasable pieces. Promote automation and continuous improvement to reduce operational overhead and improve platform reliability.

Be competent with Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools. Have experience with Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, or similar technologies. Have experience with CI/CD pipelines on Buildkite or similar platforms. Be familiar with building delivery pipelines with Buildkite or similar. Have strong version control skills with Git. Be experienced with increasing monitoring and observability using Datadog or similar tools (New Relic, Splunk, etc.). Demonstrate a strong automation mindset, with a focus on eliminating repetitive tasks through scripting, tooling, and documentation. Enjoy delivering quickly and iterating fast. 8+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Infrastructure Engineering roles supporting production cloud environments. 3+ years of experience in a senior or technical leadership capacity, with demonstrated ownership of critical production systems and mentoring of engineers. Hands-on experience with modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including deployment, scaling, monitoring, and cost optimization of SaaS applications. Proven experience implementing and managing observability stacks (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, New Relic, Splunk) and driving improvements to SLIs/SLOs. Experience in incident management, including participation in on-call rotations and leading post-incident reviews with a focus on continuous improvement. AI/LLM upskilling — comfort using AI and agentic tooling (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate investigation, automation, and delivery. Service mesh (Envoy / Istio) — hands-on experience deploying and operating a service mesh for traffic management, observability, and secure service-to-service communication. NATS — experience running or building on NATS (or comparable messaging/streaming systems) for event-driven and distributed architectures.
