About the role
- We are looking for a Senior SRE to help us keep the Akuity platform running at the level our enterprise customers expect.
- This is a high-ownership role; you won't just respond to incidents, you'll shape how we define and defend reliability across the entire platform.
Responsibilities
- You'll work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and product to build the systems and culture that let us scale with confidence.
- Own SLI/SLO/SLA definitions for the Akuity SaaS platform and drive continuous improvement against them
- Design, instrument, and maintain observability systems (metrics, logs, traces) across multi-region AWS infrastructure
- Partner with engineering teams to build reliability into new features before they ship to production
- Build and maintain runbooks, escalation paths, and incident playbooks that keep mean time to resolution low
- Drive improvements to alerting fidelity; reduce noise, increase signal, eliminate toil
Requirements
- 5+ years of SRE, platform engineering, or production operations experience in a SaaS environment
- Deep hands-on Kubernetes expertise
- you understand the scheduler, networking, storage, and autoscaling at a level where you can debug anything
- Experience defining and operating against SLOs in production
- Proficiency with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or equivalent)
- Experience with Argo CD, Kargo, or GitOps-based delivery workflows
- Familiarity with multi-region, multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments
- Experience with compliance-adjacent infrastructure (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or PCI DSS)
Skills
- Participate in an on-call rotation and act as incident commander for high-severity production events
- multi-region, enterprise-grade clusters serving Argo CD and Kargo workloads
- primary cloud provider across all production and DR environments
Compensation
- Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience
Benefits
- Equity participation in a well-funded, growing company
- Home office stipend and equipment budget
- Flexible time off and a culture that respects it
