Ready to apply? ## Description GiveCampus is looking for a hands-on Site Reliability Engineer to help improve the reliability, performance, and operational maturity of our platform. With our migration to AWS complete, this role will focus on operating and strengthening our production environment: improving observability, automating infrastructure and operational work, responding to incidents, and partnering with product engineers to build resilient systems. You will own well-scoped reliability projects and contribute to larger cross-functional initiatives. You should be comfortable working independently on straightforward problems, asking for guidance when needed, explaining technical tradeoffs, and keeping teammates informed at important milestones. What you'll do * Operate, maintain, and improve production infrastructure in AWS. * Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform. * Support workloads running on Kubernetes and Amazon EKS. * Improve dashboards, alerts, and service-level indicators using New Relic or comparable observability platforms. * Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes. * Participate in the shared 24/7 on-call rotation and contribute to effective incident response. * Participate in blameless postmortems and complete follow-up actions that reduce the likelihood or impact of repeat incidents. * Partner with product engineers to troubleshoot performance and reliability issues throughout the application stack. * Improve application resilience using established patterns such as timeouts, retries, queuing, backpressure, and idempotency. * Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions and CircleCI. * Automate repetitive operational tasks and identify opportunities to reduce engineering toil. * Create and maintain runbooks, system diagrams, troubleshooting guides, and production documentation. * Contribute to capacity planning, performance testing, database reliability, and production-readiness reviews. * Apply established security, access-control, logging, and compliance practices to infrastructure work. * Own small-to-medium reliability improvements from technical design and work breakdown through delivery. * Communicate progress, risks, tradeoffs, and blockers clearly while incorporating feedback from engineering partners. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [Coroutine explained yet again 60 years later](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/690-coroutine-explained-yet-again-60-years-later) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany)
