1. Job Description

Site Reliability Engineer II

Experience: 4-6 years in a production SRE, or platform engineering role with direct

on-call/incident-management ownership.

About the role Were looking for an SRE II who can independently own the reliability of

production Kubernetes/AWS workloads — not just operate infrastructure someone else

designed, but troubleshoot it, automate it, and improve it under pressure. This is an execution-

focused IC role.

Must-have technical skills - Linux: Strong administration and troubleshooting fundamentals

(process, resource, log, and network-level debugging) - AWS: Hands-on production ownership

of EC2, EKS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, Route53 — able to reason unaided through a full public-to-

private request path (Internet Gateway Load Balancer Ingress Service Pod), including

how a VPC distinguishes public vs. private routing - Kubernetes: Beyond

deployments/services/HPA — working knowledge of CRDs, operators, CSI drivers, and

structured troubleshooting of CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, and readiness/liveness probe

failures - Scripting/Automation:



Must be able to write and debug a working script live,

unaided (Python or Go preferred; Bash acceptable for infra automation) - Infrastructure as

Code: Terraform — must have authored modules, not only modified or applied existing ones -

Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus and Grafana — must have designed at least one

dashboard or alert rule from scratch, not only consumed pre-built ones - Distributed data

systems: Hands-on production troubleshooting experience with at least one of Kafka, Redis, or

a relational/NoSQL database at scale - Incident management: Structured P1–P4 process, root-

cause analysis and postmortem authorship, MTTR tracking, and working knowledge of

SLI/SLO/SLA and error-budget concepts

Nice-to-have - Service mesh exposure (Istio/Linkerd) - CI/CD pipeline design and ownership

(Jenkins, ArgoCD, Harness, or equivalent) - Cost optimization / FinOps experience on AWS -

- DBRE-adjacent background - Docker multi-stage build and image-security-scanning experience

Our commitment to diversity runs deep! Diversity is essential to building phenomenal teams, products, and customer experiences. Phenom is proud to be an equal opportunity employer taking collective action to build a more inclusive setting where every candidate and employee feels welcomed.
