General Summary

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join a 24/7, follow-the-sun SRE team responsible for keeping our critical production systems reliable, scalable, and secure around the clock. As part of a globally distributed team spanning multiple time zones, you will share on-call coverage that follows daylight hours rather than night shifts, and partner closely with development teams to automate operations, strengthen observability, and continuously improve system resilience.

Main Responsibilities

System Reliability: Ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of critical systems.
Service Level Objectives: Define, measure, and report on SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, and use them to prioritize reliability work.
Automation: Develop and maintain automation scripts and tools to streamline operations.
Monitoring: Develop and maintain monitoring dashboards & alerts
Incident Management:



Lead incident response efforts and post-mortem analysis to prevent future occurrences.
Performance Tuning: Optimize system performance and scalability.
Cost Optimization: Monitor and optimize cloud spend (e.g., right-sizing and autoscaling with Karpenter) to balance reliability with cost efficiency.
Security: Implement and maintain security best practices.
Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for systems and processes.
Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers and champion SRE best practices across cross-functional teams.
On-Call Shifts: Own front-line 24/7 on-call rotations and incident response for critical production systems, acting as the reliability shield for the platform and observability engineering teams so they are not paged for production incidents.

Requirements

Qualification:

Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees are a plus.
Experience: 5+ years
