Site Reliability Engineer

We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who wants to do more than maintain systems-you’ll help build them from the ground up.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our manufacturing execution system (MES) platform, Synovate, by developing automation, scaling deployment infrastructure, and introducing modern engineering practices into real-world industrial environments. You’ll work at the intersection of software, networking, and manufacturing-designing tools and systems that don’t just support deployments, but redefine how they happen.

What You’ll Do

Build the Future of Deployment Automation

Design and develop Python-based tools that automate system configuration, device provisioning, and deployment workflows

Create and maintain Ansible playbooks and automation frameworks that scale across client environments

Leverage modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate innovation and maintain high-quality code

Build monitoring and diagnostic systems that provide real-time visibility into network and device health

Lead Hands-On Deployments in the Field

Deploy and configure industrial network infrastructure across client manufacturing sites (Wi-Fi, routers, VPNs, IoT devices)

Support and troubleshoot Azure-based cloud deployments

Solve real-world connectivity challenges in complex factory environments

Configure secure networking solutions including WireGuard VPNs and industrial routers (Mikrotik)

Serve as a key technical resource during deployments and escalations

Drive Infrastructure and DevOps Excellence

Apply and evolve Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices to improve system resilience and scalability

Build CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to streamline automation and configuration deployment

Manage device fleets, including inventory tracking and over-the-air (OTA) updates

Create and maintain clear, scalable documentation for systems, tools, and processes

Collaborate and Enable Growth

Partner with Network Engineering to define and standardize deployment architectures

Document decisions and systems using ADRs and modern documentation practices

Develop runbooks and simplified workflows that empower broader teams to execute deployments

Do you have experience in VPN management?, Strong foundation in Site Reliability Engineering principles and practices

3+ years of experience with cloud platforms (Azure or AWS)

3+ years building automation tools and scripts in Python

Solid networking knowledge (TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, Wi-Fi, DNS, DHCP) with hands-on configuration experience

Experience with Linux systems, databases (Postgres), and software development best practices

Familiarity with network hardware (Mikrotik, Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Palo Alto, etc.)

Experience with VPN technologies (WireGuard, IPSec)

Background in automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform

Comfort working in Linux environments (Debian/Ubuntu preferred)

Proficiency with Git and CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions preferred)

Willingness to travel to client sites (approximately 25-35%), Experience troubleshooting IoT devices and sensor connectivity

Background in manufacturing or industrial environments

Network certifications (CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent)

Experience using AI coding tools with strong documentation practices
