aws and datadog design and implementation experience, We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to work as part of a lean, product focused engineering organization. This role is about building and operating reliable cloud based systems by writing code, automating infrastructure and delivery workflows, and reducing friction for developers and users. You will work closely with product and application engineers to design, deploy, and operate systems with clear ownership and practical engineering judgment. We expect you to use modern tooling, including AI assisted tools where appropriate, to speed up automation, troubleshooting, and operations while remaining accountable for correctness, security, and reliability. This role favors simple, effective solutions, hands on ownership, and continuous improvement within small Agile teams.

What you will do:
*Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure for critical production and non production applications with reliability and simplicity as primary goals
*Architect and evolve multi-account AWS foundations (organizations, accounts, IAM boundaries, guardrails, and environment separation) to enable secure, scalable delivery
*Design and operate cloud networking architecture (VPCs, routing, segmentation, ingress/egress, connectivity patterns) to support reliability, security, and compliance requirements
*Treat reliability, security, and compliance as first class design concerns throughout the system lifecycle
*Build tooling and automation that reduces errors, shortens recovery time, and improves day to day operations
*Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting that make system behavior observable and actionable
*Use AI assisted tools to accelerate infrastructure delivery, automation, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis, applying engineering judgment to validate outcomes
*Implement reliability guardrails for releases (progressive delivery, safe rollbacks, change risk controls) and provide production support during deployments.
*Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis, and drive durable improvements that prevent recurrence
*Work closely with application engineers to co own system design, operation, and continuous improvement
*Maintain clear, lightweight documentation that supports shared ownership and effective on call operations
