## Description

This position will perform work that the U.S. government has specified can only be performed by a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil

This position is remote and can be performed from locations within the United States. This role requires reliable internet connection and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

**Meet the Team **

The Site Reliability Engineering team keeps production services available, scalable, and secure for customers worldwide. We own the monitoring, alerting, and incident processes that help us meet internal Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and customer-facing Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our work underpins every product release, from automated rollbacks to zero-downtime deployments, so customers can rely on the platform. We are a collaborative group of engineers who share an on-call rotation, learn from every incident through blameless post-mortems, and support one another across regions. If you enjoy turning operational challenges into automation and making systems measurably more resilient, you will fit right in.

**Your Impact **

Improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of production services by writing code that automates releases, rollbacks, and recovery. Serve as an on-call SRE, troubleshooting and debugging complex issues across infrastructure and platform services, then document root causes in post-mortems to prevent repeat incidents. Test high availability and disaster recovery measures, and recommend changes that remove single points of failure. Design and build new tools, frameworks, and automation toolsets to reduce operational toil and speed up the detection of potential issues. Success looks like services that consistently meet their SLOs and SLAs, fewer repeat incidents, and colleagues who benefit from the practices you share.
