About the role

Responsibilities
- You'll own high-impact infrastructure work directly, in a small team where your contributions are visible and your judgment is trusted. The path from decision to production is short.
- Manage containerized workloads on Kubernetes, including performance tuning, capacity planning, and resource optimization.
- Drive down cost and toil through better defaults, right-sizing, and automation rather than manual intervention.
- Define the reliability signals that matter for the services you own, and hold the line on them.
- Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business-continuity strategies, and prove they work.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, including runner strategy and deployment safety.
- Build custom tooling and scripts that remove recurring operational pain.
- Partner with data and development teams to improve deployment practices and application reliability.
- Provide escalation support for production incidents, help lead post-incident reviews, and turn findings into durable fixes.
- Participate in technical design reviews and offer architectural input across teams.
Requirements
- 5+ years in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering: you've owned complex systems and driven technical work forward with minimal supervision.
- GCP depth: strong hands-on experience with GCP core services (GKE, Cloud Run, AlloyDB, networking, IAM).
- You know how these fit together in production, not just in a certification.
- Git and collaborative development workflows: you work in shared codebases and review others' changes well.
- Required Soft Skills
- Strong Communication: You can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders.
- Collaborative Approach: You work well with others, give constructive code review feedback, and actively seek input from teammates.
Nice to have
- GCP certifications (Cloud Architect, Cloud DevOps Engineer) or demonstrably equivalent depth.
- Cloudflare: experience with Workers and other Cloudflare services.
- What Success Looks Like
- Stord is a cloud-based supply chain platform that enables brands to compete and grow through end-to-end logistics solutions.
- Strongly Preferred
- PostgreSQL internals (logical replication, vacuuming, lock contention) or experience with migrations and database scaling.
- Familiarity with Redis, ClickHouse, or analytical stores is a plus.
- Database operations depth: PostgreSQL internals (logical replication, vacuuming, lock contention) or experience with migrations and database scaling.
Compensation
- Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms.
Benefits
- Hundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order.
Company info
- Build monitoring, alerting, and observability in Datadog (APM, logs, RUM) that catches problems before customers do.
- You think about failure modes, monitoring, and operational concerns as part of your design process.
- To meet and exceed this target, Stord is strategically scaling teams across the entire company, and seeking energetic experts to help us achieve our mission.
