About the role

This role sits within a globally distributed SRE function responsible for keeping a large scale, multi-tenant SaaS platform running reliably for customers around the world.
The position blends deep technical ownership with cross-team influence, giving you room to fix root causes, not just symptoms, and to raise the reliability bar across the wider engineering org.
Take point on major incidents, coordinating the response across engineering teams and making the real-time calls needed to restore service quickly.

Support less experienced SREs through code and design review, pairing, and ongoing feedback, and help spread strong reliability practices across Product and Engineering more broadly.
We partner with startups and scale-ups to embed talent partners, lead recruitment projects, and manage full talent functions.

Solid, practical grounding in Linux, containerized systems, and cloud native infrastructure, including hands-on experience with a major cloud provider and its networking layer.
A track record of staying level headed during live incidents, and the ability to explain technical issues clearly to people who aren't engineers.
Hold ownership over key pieces of the shared infrastructure, working continuously to improve its resilience and ability to scale.
Comfort writing code or scripts to manage infrastructure, with a genuine preference for infrastructure as code over manual configuration.
Real experience building and running CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and version control workflows at scale.
