Who you are:

You’re driven by purpose and motivated by work that matters. You’re looking for more than a role, you want to be part of a growing, forward-thinking company solving real-world challenges to improve how farming works, today and for the future. 

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will play a key role in ensuring the scalability, reliability, and performance of our infrastructure and services. Operating within a high-performing engineering team, this role bridges the gap between development and operations, with a strong focus on automation, observability, and resilience. You will use your technical expertise and leadership skills to drive improvements across systems and processes, ensuring we deliver high-quality, reliable products to our customers. This is a hands-on role where your impact will be felt across both technical execution and team development. You will be part of a team operating across time zones and global regions.

What you will do:

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead the delivery of infrastructure projects.
• Plan and perform higher-risk maintenance.
• Contribute to resolving incidents and participate in an on-call roster.
• Work with product and software development colleagues to improve the resiliency and reliability of our products.
• Mentor team members in all aspects of SRE work.
• Manage your productivity and workload in a work-from-home environment
  

System Reliability & Performance

• Use a data-driven approach to identify changes to the product architecture to improve reliability, performance, and availability.
• Fully understand production environments and the end-to-end delivery process.
• Identify parts of the system that do not scale and drive solutions for these problem areas.
• Maintain and improve Service Level Indicators (SLI) that align with availability and performance targets.
• Build quality into the team's work by encouraging refactoring, testing, and breaking up the team’s work into small, releasable pieces.

Technical Skills & Expertise:

• Have good knowledge of Linux and bash or similar.
• Be versed in the delivery of a SaaS product on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Have strong programming skills (Ruby, Python, Go, etc.).
• Be competent with Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
• Have experience with Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, or similar technologies.
• Have experience with CI/CD pipelines on Buildkite or similar platforms.
• Be familiar with building delivery pipelines with Buildkite or similar.
• Have strong version control skills with Git.
• Be experienced with increasing monitoring and observability using Datadog or similar tools (New Relic, Splunk, etc.).
• Have the desire to document and/or automate to reduce repetitive tasks.
• Enjoy delivering quickly and iterating fast.

We want you to succeed, so you will need:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles.
• At least 2–3 years in a senior or lead capacity, with demonstrated ownership of critical systems and mentoring responsibilities.
• Hands-on experience with modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including deployment, scaling, monitoring, and cost optimization of SaaS applications.
• Proven experience implementing and managing observability stacks (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, New Relic, Splunk) and driving improvements to SLIs/SLOs.
• Experience in incident management, including participation in on-call rotations and leading post-incident reviews with a focus on continuous improvement.
