Job Summary

We are seeking a Software Engineer 3 (SRE) to join our Infrastructure Reliability Engineering team. This role sits at the center of platform resilience-ensuring high availability, performance, recoverability, and operational maturity across JumpCloud's production systems. This is not a traditional operations role.

Our SREs are engineers first: designing automation, building observability frameworks, defining reliability standards, and reducing operational toil through code. You will build and scale cloud-native infrastructure, participate in incident management, and implement reliability best practices across our directory platform and microservices.

What you'll be doing

- Design, deploy, and maintain the reliability, availability, and performance of critical JumpCloud systems and APIs across AWS and GCP.
- Operationalize SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in direct partnership with core application teams.
- Build and refine end-to-end observability across microservices and cloud infrastructure using tools like Datadog.
- Implement actionable monitoring across Golden Signals (Latency, Traffic, Errors, Saturation) to optimize detection (MTTD) and minimize alert fatigue.
- Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and blameless post-incident reviews to drive continuous systemic improvements.
- Manage and operationalize production Kubernetes (EKS) clusters utilizing GitOps delivery workflows (Argo CD, Kargo).
- Provision and secure multi-cloud infrastructure using modular Terraform (Infrastructure-as-Code).
- Develop and maintain Disaster Recovery (DR) dashboards, runbooks, multi-region failover automation, and validation tests to ensure alignment with defined RTO and RPO targets.
- Eliminate operational toil by writing production-grade Python or Go scripts and automation tools.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (Cursor,



Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate scripting, runbook generation, and incident triage.

We're looking for

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering operating 24/7 mission-critical systems.
- Python/Go proficiency: Hands-on capabilities writing code for SRE tools, custom automation, and cloud integrations.
- Kubernetes ecosystem: Production experience with Kubernetes cluster operations, container orchestration, and GitOps pipelines (Argo CD).
- Infrastructure as Code: Solid experience writing, maintaining, and modularizing Terraform configurations.
- Cloud architecture: Direct experience operating cloud workloads on AWS (EKS, IAM, VPC networking, Route53, ALB/NLB) or GCP.
- FinOps cost visibility: Practical experience setting up cost-allocation tagging, resource right-sizing, and building FinOps dashboards to visualize cloud spend.
- Disaster Recovery monitoring: Experience building DR dashboards, running failover drills, and configuring monitoring tools to track system health and recovery metrics.
- Observability incident management: Practical experience with Datadog (or similar), PagerDuty, alerting hygiene, and working within SLI/SLO frameworks.
- Solid operational experience configuring and troubleshooting production service meshes (Istio or similar) and managing high-availability proxy solutions (HAProxy, NGINX, or similar).
- Problem-solving mindset:



Strong troubleshooting skills, effective collaboration, and a track record of driving operational efficiency through code.
- A solid team player who helps us live by our core values: building connections, thinking big, and getting 1% better every day.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or GitLab Pipelines.
- Basic understanding of chaos engineering principles or testing resilience in staging/production.
- Familiarity with secrets management tools (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, External Secrets Operator).
- Basic knowledge of DevSecOps tools and scanning/fixing infrastructure-as-code vulnerabilities.
