Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Third-party placement is common here

20% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 3 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) · Horace Mann

Files H-1B transfers

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 6 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Stratus is a ~100-person, primarily remote, Series B software company growing quickly.
  • Unrelenting Reliability is one of our company values, and this is the role that operationalizes it.
  • You will define what reliable means in numbers, instrument the system so we can see it, and close the loop from production signal back into engineering priority.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own service level indicators, objectives, and error budgets for customer-facing services; build the measurement pipeline that makes them trustworthy and publish availability and latency against target on a regular cadence.
  • Establish and run incident response practice - on-call rotation and paging paths, severity definitions, per-system incident ownership, escalation into and out of customer support, and blameless post-mortems in incident.io.
  • Lead performance and capacity engineering: query and index tuning, connection-pool sizing, capacity modeling against real load, and designing for graceful degradation under partial failure.
  • Drive production readiness: review new services and significant changes against readiness criteria covering instrumentation, alerting, failure modes, resource limits, and rollback before they ship.
  • Contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, including backup and restore validation, failover design, and recovery objectives.
  • Partner with engineering pods to push reliability ownership outward - coach teams on instrumenting and operating their own services.

Requirements

  • 6-8+ years of professional engineering experience, with 3-5+ years in a dedicated SRE or production engineering role at a B2B SaaS company.
  • Demonstrated ownership of SLOs and error budgets in production - you have defined them, measured them, argued about them with product leadership, and changed engineering behavior with them.
  • Deep, practical observability skills with Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Grafana or comparable: you have instrumented real systems and built alerting that pages on customer impact rather than on CPU.
  • Experience with load and performance testing tooling (k6, JMeter, Gatling, or comparable) and with turning results into engineering priority.
  • Production experience on Azure or AWS, with real understanding of the failure modes of managed services.
  • Fluency with AI-assisted engineering tooling and a track record of designing AI-leveraged workflows for your team - this is a graded expectation at every level at Stratus.

Nice to have

  • Experience establishing or maturing an SRE practice - defining the discipline, not inheriting it.
  • Experience with Sentry or comparable application error-monitoring platforms.
  • Experience operating event-driven and real-time systems - message brokers (Azure Service Bus, Kafka) and websocket or push layers (SignalR or comparable).
  • Experience operating MongoDB Atlas at production scale, including replica set topology and Atlas performance tooling.
  • Experience with durable workflow orchestration (Temporal or comparable).
  • Experience with incident.io, PagerDuty, or comparable incident management platforms.
  • Familiarity with DORA metrics and with reliability work inside SOC 2 or NIST 800-171 scope.
  • Experience with legacy monolith reliability - improving the operational behavior of an ASP.NET or comparable application you cannot rewrite.

Compensation

  • $171k-$800k

Company info

  • The Senior / Lead Site Reliability Engineer is accountable for how Stratus behaves in production.
  • Reporting to the Senior Director, Platform Engineering, this role brings genuine SRE discipline to a platform that MEP contractors run their fabrication shops on - where downtime does not mean a degraded experience, it means work stops on a job site.
