About the role

How You'll Contribute

  • Embed with product and platform teams from design and architecture reviews through launch, bringing SRE perspective early to ensure reliability is designed in.
  • Define and evolve production-readiness standards including design reviews, launch checklists, and operational acceptance criteria.
  • Collaborate to define meaningful SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to drive prioritization decisions.
  • Build frameworks, tooling, and golden paths across AWS, GCP, and Azure (using Terraform) to make the reliable path the easy path.
  • Provide cross-team leadership: influence roadmaps, resolve technical disagreements, identify and address technical/process debt, mentor senior and mid-level engineers.
  • Mature incident management practices including blameless postmortems, turning incidents into systematic improvements.
  • Build relationships with cloud providers to influence roadmaps; represent the company in customer trust conversations and the reliability community.
  • Participate in on-call rotation (currently one week per month) and respond to incidents.

Qualifications

  • Multi-cloud fluency across AWS, GCP, and Azure (Terraform as IaC backbone preferred over deep specialization in one).
  • Comfort supporting and contributing to TypeScript (frontend/backend) and Ruby on Rails backend services.
  • Significant experience as SRE, production/platform engineer, or software engineer with deep reliability focus at scale.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals; able to write production-quality code and partner deeply with teams.
  • Track record of technical leadership and influence across team boundaries without formal authority.
  • Ability to drive ambiguous, high-scope problems to completion with minimal oversight.
  • Systems thinking to identify and resolve organizational debt.
  • Experience building measurement frameworks, analyzing operational data, and driving improvements.
  • Strong verbal and written English communication skills.

Bonus Points

  • Experience standing up or maturing an SRE practice at a growth-stage company.
  • Background as an embedded SRE or partnering closely with product teams.
  • Experience with chaos/resilience testing or progressive delivery practices.

Notes: No college degree required. Fully remote (global).
