About the role
We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform SRE team. In this role, you will build and operate the infrastructure, tools, and "paved roads" that empower our developers to deliver scalable, secure, and reliable software with speed and confidence.
You'll work across the entire stack—from infrastructure automation and observability to developer enablement and system reliability. You will be a key collaborator with software engineering and security teams, helping to evolve our Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enhance CI/CD pipelines, and scale our internal developer platform. We value pragmatism and engineering excellence, primarily using Python, Go, and AWS to reduce toil and build self-service capabilities.

- Mentorship & Standards: Mentor engineers across the team, uphold high infrastructure quality, and actively shape the best practices and standards used by the organization.
- Collaboration: Engage in technical design discussions, providing guidance and feedback while adapting strategies based on team input and evolving requirements.
- On-Call: Participate in a low-volume on-call rotation.
