We are looking for a reliability expert who is passionate about scaling Cloud services to join our growing SRE teams. An ideal candidate is someone who is aware of current industry trends (particularly those related to reliability) and who thrives on working with a diverse set of partners, who can articulate the business impact of a problem and can also dive deep into the technical solution.
Your future team
We'd love for you to bring a deep understanding of modern Cloud Infrastructure, operational best practices, and experience in architecting highly reliable systems that operate at massive scale. We're looking for an engineer who can drive change across our services and processes to get us to an even higher level of reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. You'll achieve this by crossing team and functional boundaries to advocate for reliability methodologies and will work with a variety of platform, product and SRE teams to both build reliability into our platform and drive adoption of those practices into our products. In other words, you'll be the driving force for change! You will report directly to the Head of SRE. This is a remote-friendly opportunity.
