Improve developer velocity through tooling, automation, and infrastructure improvements.
Support incident response, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems.
Partner with engineering teams on production readiness, capacity planning, and rollout strategies.



What We're Looking For

8+ years of experience in an SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering role, ideally with experience on customer-facing or field-deployment work.
Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration.
Strong skills in Linux systems, networking, and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, Go).
Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.).
Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability practices and tools.
Experience supporting production systems and operating in high-scale environments.
Good communication skills.
