An ideal candidate is a lifelong learner with a passion for appraising environments and designing/implementing innovative solutions which lead to supportability/reliability improvements.

  • Work with software development to design and implement systems/applications that are resilient to failure and highly scalable.
  • Achieve material application performance improvements based on insights from observability metrics.
  • Develop and maintain disaster recovery plans and procedures.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to ensure 24/7 application availability.
  • Triage incoming Web Support escalation requests.
  • Drive incident root cause analysis, service restoration, and serve as an incident commander during outage events. 

What You'll Need

  • 7+ years of experience as a software engineer with 5 years as an SRE supporting Infrastructure, Networking, and Application Operations in a high availability, 24x7 hybrid environment (Colo/Cloud).
  • Strong record of automation (e.g., Python, Bash, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Strong experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ArgoCD) operating in a GitOps framework.
  • Strong experience with application monitoring, observability, and alerting systems (e.g., New Relic, Grafana).
  • Strong experience with at least one programming language (Python, Java).
  • Advanced experience with Linux system administration, Java-based applications, and network architecture.
  • Ability to participate in architecture reviews.
  • AWS related certifications (Architecture, DevSecOps, Cloud Engineer) are a plus. 
  • Business Wire will not sponsor a new applicant for employment authorization for this position.


    What We Offer

    The base salary range for this position is $175K to $185K/year. Offered salary will be determined by several factors, including but not limited to: applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with geographic market data.
