About You:

  • At least 3 years experience in an SRE role, or at least 5 years experience in an adjacent role (e.g. platform engineering), operating in a scaled environment.
  • Firm grasp of the SRE philosophy and mindset, with practical experience working on or directly with SRE teams that have proactively engaged in system design and improvement.
  • Strong sense of accountability and commitment to problem solving, backed by a curiosity to dig deep and identify root causes.
  • Willingness to proactively engage with development teams to influence the course of software design and operational practices.
  • Capability to manage risk, make decisions, and exhibit sound judgment
  • Demonstrated ability to plan and deliver long-term projects
  • Experience with distributed system design
  • Experience with Containers, Virtual Machines, and Linux
