Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Role Overview

• Partner with engineering teams to define service-level objectives, error budgets, and supporting indicators for their services, and help them use those measures to inform prioritization and reliability investment.
• Investigate complex production issues end-to-end across application, data, infrastructure, and network layers, using AI to correlate logs, metrics, and code and to pressure-test hypotheses before acting.
• Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, architecture notes, postmortems and proofs of concept for both technical and non-technical audiences, in a form that engineers and AI tools can re-use.
• Identify systemic sources of toil and lead the work to eliminate them through automation, AI agents, tooling, and process change.
• Set the conditions for AI agents to do reliable work in our environment, including repository context, well-specified tasks, integrations such as MCP servers that give AI safe access to the systems it needs, and the tests and guardrails needed for AI-authored change to be trusted.
• Participate in team ceremonies to identify and refine work, communicate findings, and drive opportunities to collaborate.
• Drive cross-team and cross-department collaboration on reliability initiatives, including reviewing designs, influencing roadmaps, and mentoring engineers on SRE practices, including effective AI use in their reliability work.
• Advise senior leadership and stakeholders during critical customer escalations, translating between technical reality and business impact.
• Contribute to scaling the SRE practice itself: improving our standards, our tooling, and how we partner with product engineering teams.

Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years experience in software engineering, SRE or production operations roles. (Required)
• Strong production troubleshooting skills across the stack. Ability to diagnose issues from first principles using the tools available (profilers, heap and thread dumps, query plans, traces, logs, metrics). (Required)
• Experience working within a form of the Agile development framework process. (Required)
• Hands-on experience operating production services on AWS (e.g. EC2, S3, EKS, RDS/Aurora, CloudFront). (Required)

• Experience writing infrastructure as a code. (Required)
• Experience writing automation in a general-purpose language (e.g. Python, Go, Java, or similar) to a production standard. (Required)
• Strong judgement about how to apply AI effectively across the full range of SRE work, including high-stakes areas such as production access and sensitive data, knowing how to scope and verify work to make it safe. (Required)
• Hands-on experience using agentic development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to deliver engineering and operational work, scoping and delegating bounded tasks, verifying the output, and shipping with confidence. (Required)
• Experience improving how a team works with AI, for example authoring reusable skills, repository context files, or prompt patterns that others adopt. (Required)
• Experience optimizing SQL queries and database engine tuning. (Preferred)
• Experience with CI/CD Tooling (e.g. Github Actions, Jenkins). (Preferred)
• Exposure to chaos engineering, fault injection and disaster recovery exercises. (Preferred)
• Familiar with FinOps practices. (Preferred)
• 2 year / Associates (Required)
