Job description

We're hiring a dedicated SRE to take real ownership of operational excellence across Cloud Infrastructure. Today, too much critical operational knowledge - vendor relationships, cost management, and incident response - lives with one or two people. Your mission is to take genuine ownership of those domains, make them resilient to any single person, and raise the bar on how reliably we run. This is not simply a ticket-queue or keep-the-lights-on role. You'll own domains end to end: understand them deeply, operate them well, and build the automation and tooling that make them boring. We deliberately pair operational and engineering work so the role grows rather than narrows.

What you'll own

  • Incident management & operational excellence - take custody of the incident process: on-call quality, response, post-mortems, and driving down incident count, time-to-detect, and time-to-resolve.
  • Automation & reliability engineering - automate low-frequency, high-consequence operations (the certificate-renewal class of problem - rare, easy to forget, outage-causing when missed), not just the high-frequency toil. You decide what to automate based on risk and blast radius, not just time saved.
  • A platform domain - over time, deep ownership of a domain such as Temporal, observability, or Kubernetes operations, partnering with the engineers building in it.
  • Vendor & third-party management - own key external relationships and integrations (e.g. LLM API providers, third-party services), today managed manually and informally. Bring structure, automation, and bus-factor resilience.
  • FinOps - own cloud and platform cost visibility and efficiency, and the mechanics of how usage maps to billing.

What success looks like (first 12 months)

  • Critical operational knowledge is documented and shared - no single point of failure for vendor, cost, or incident response.
  • Measurable reliability gains: fewer SEV1-SEV3 incidents per quarter, faster customer-impact resolution, and a much higher share of incidents caught by monitoring before customers feel them.
  • High-risk manual processes are automated and self-documenting., Provide CTI-wide delivery enablement and project management support, coach teams on best practices, improve use of tools (Wrike/JIRA), and support Product & Pricing Salesforce delivery including planning, testing, and coordination.

Requirements

  • Strong production operations experience on AWS and Kubernetes; comfortable with MongoDB and scripting/automation in Python.
  • An operations-and-reliability mindset - you take pride in systems that run quietly - paired with the instinct to engineer the problem away rather than absorb it manually.
  • Sound judgement on incidents and risk; calm and clear under pressure.
  • Influences through relationships and evidence, not escalation; comfortable owning a domain and partnering across teams.
  • Bonus: vendor/cost management exposure, Temporal, observability tooling.
