Job Description
We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and operational efficiency of our cloud-based platform. Working alongside DevOps engineers within the Platform Operations team, this role combines software engineering and systems operations with a focus on observability, automation, incident reduction, and operational excellence.
You will partner closely with software engineering, QA, security, and DevOps to establish reliability practices, improve production visibility, strengthen incident response, automate operational workflows, and help engineering teams deliver changes safely and confidently.
This role supports systems operating under regulatory and compliance requirements, including FedRAMP and SOC 2. The ideal candidate understands that reliability, traceability, security, and change management enable sustainable development velocity rather than compete with it.
We expect all technical team members to leverage AI-assisted tools and workflows as force multipliers for productivity, learning, automation, and problem-solving while maintaining strong engineering skills, sound judgment, security standards, and operational accountability.
