Staff Security Reliability Engineer
Senior technical owner designing, building, and operating secure, reliable infrastructure-as-code platforms for identity, access, and shared services. Requires 10+ years of hands-on SRE experience in high-reliability on-prem/hybrid environments.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate reliable infrastructure across on-prem, hybrid, shared, and product-adjacent environments
- Establish standardized infrastructure patterns that replace bespoke implementations with repeatable, auditable, secure-by-default systems
- Own the lifecycle of critical infrastructure platforms, including provisioning, deployment, upgrades, patching, recovery, and long-term reliability
- Build infrastructure-as-code and configuration management using tools such as Terraform, Chef, and Ansible
- Mature identity-adjacent and policy-enforced infrastructure, including Microsoft Entra and Azure management patterns
- Build observability, alerting, and incident response mechanisms that improve availability, recoverability, and operational confidence
- Automate high-toil and high-risk workflows with guardrails, progressive rollout patterns, and safe rollback paths
- Translate incidents, design reviews, and operational learnings into durable fixes, reusable patterns, and stronger technical standards
Requirements
- 10+ years of hands-on experience operating and architecting mission-critical infrastructure in high-reliability environments
- Senior technical ownership for the design and maturation of complex on-prem, hybrid, or cloud-integrated systems, setting durable architectural patterns used by multiple teams
- Apply Site Reliability Engineering principles at scale, using observability, automation, and incident learnings to materially reduce risk and operational toil
- Operate comfortably in ambiguity, making sound architectural decisions under pressure while staying close to technical detail
- Influence cross-functional partners across security, identity, network, and platform teams through architecture, implementation, operational data, and clear technical writing
- Experience operating infrastructure for R&D or specialized labs, manufacturing, or other safety-critical environments where uptime and recoverability are essential
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with fleet, endpoint, or virtual desktop platforms such as FleetDM, Chef, or Azure Virtual Desktop
- Experience partnering closely with identity or security engineering teams on hardened, policy-enforced infrastructure at scale
