**Role:** DevOps / SRE
**Experience:** 5+ years
**Skills:** Kubernetes, Prometheus, GCP, CI/CD, Observability, Fastly, Cdn, Elasticsearch, Postgres, Nats, Kong
**Posted:** 2026-07-02

> Senior Site Reliability Engineer partnering with development teams to design, build, and operate scalable GCP and Kubernetes infrastructure at high request volumes (75k RPS). Focus on observability, reliability, CI/CD, edge modernization, on-call, and mentoring to maintain platform performance and uptime.

## Job Description

## What you would do
- Design, build, and operate the shared platform foundations engineers ship on every day: GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, routing, CI/CD, and observability.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot complex distributed systems running at high request volume.
- Ensure observability and analyze the behavior of our stack.
- Contribute to in-flight work like modernizing our edge, caching, and gateway layers onto Fastly and tightening observability across the platform.
- Raise the reliability bar through better dashboards, alert severity, paging standards, on-call readiness, and incident response.
- Make deployment boring in the best way: build golden paths, production readiness checks, safe rollouts, and useful automation so engineers have fewer places to look before they ship.
- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code review, design review, and pairing.
- Participate in our on-call rotation and help our developer on-call rollout land well.

## About you
- Experience with SRE/DevOps tools, processes, and culture.
- 5+ years of experience as part of an SRE on-call rotation.
- Analytical approach to designing, diagnosing, and optimizing infrastructure.
- Experience with managing scalable, highly available, cloud-based applications, ideally with high request volume and customer-facing uptime expectations.
- Experience with Kubernetes for orchestrating, scaling, and managing containerized applications in cloud-based environments.
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with an observability stack (Prometheus, et al.).
- Comfortable working across CDNs, edge, gateways, and caching layers, or eager to go deep there.
- You improve on-call and reliability by building systems, standards, and feedback loops that make production healthier over time.
- You are comfortable dealing with incidents and outages and have built a practical, thoughtful communication style for handling high-pressure situations.
- An open but considered approach to new technologies.

## What we can offer
- A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team.
- Real infrastructure scale and meaningful, hands-on work changing how it runs.
- Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth.
- A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers.
- Comprehensive health plans and perks.
- A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs.
- Competitive stock options program and location-based salary.
