We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to serve as the guardian of our complex, web-scale ecosystem. You won't just be "managing" systems; you will be the architect of their health, ensuring they are monitored, automated, and designed to scale flawlessly.

• Precision Alerting: Engineer meaningful alerts and high-fidelity dashboards that reduce "alert fatigue" and focus on system health.
• Architectural Evolution: Identify systemic gaps and lead the implementation of infrastructure improvements to bolster uptime.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary point of accountability for the health, performance, and capacity of mission-critical, internet-facing services.
• Partner with development teams beginning at the design phase to ensure all platforms are built with "operability" and "recoverability" at their core.
• Improve and exchange tools that automate the deployment and monitoring of custom applications in large-scale UNIX environments.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you bridge the gap between "moving fast" and "staying up"
• Participate in a structured 12x7 on-call rotation designed to maintain 24/7 support for production environments.

Desired Skills

• Battle-Proven Experience: 5–8+ years in a Systems Engineering or Site Reliability role, specifically within a startup or fast-growing environment.
• Scale Mastery: Proven track record in a UNIX-based, large-scale web operations role.

• Cloud Architecture: Expert-level experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- The Sre Toolkit
