You proactively identify risks and contribute to incident response and audit readiness. * Observability instincts: You've built dashboards, defined SLOs, run real incidents, and used the resulting learning to improve systems. * Automation fluency: Comfortable scripting and building tooling in Python, Go, Bash, or similar. * Communication: Excellent written and verbal English (C1+). You document decisions, write runbooks people actually use, and explain tradeoffs clearly. Nice to have * Experience with Temporal or other workflow orchestration systems * Exposure to CDC pipelines (Estuary, Debezium, or similar) * Multi-cloud experience (AWS primary, GCP/Azure for AI services) * Background running platforms for Spring/Java services at scale * Experience in regulated environments (financial services, real estate, healthcare) * Familiarity with AI/LLM infrastructure patterns or agentic engineering workflows * Prior experience as an early platform hire - building foundations without over-engineering How you work * You think in systems and prefer building self-service capabilities over becoming a ticket queue * You're pragmatic about quality - protecting long-term adaptability without gold-plating * You communicate openly about tradeoffs, mistakes, and unknowns. * You see security and compliance as enablers of speed, not obstacles. * You're comfortable with autonomy and high ownership in a small, focused team. * You're curious about how AI is changing platform engineering - and you want to help figure it out. ## Description As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will take ownership of the reliability and operational foundations of our platform. You will work across Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and security to ensure that our systems remain scalable, resilient, and secure as we grow., * Manage cloud infrastructure: Design and operate scalable AWS infrastructure (EKS, RDS, ALB, IAM, VPC, S3) using Infrastructure as Code, with strong IaC discipline and clear change management. * Strengthen observability: Improve our Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki setup so teams can define SLOs, debug fast, and operate their services with confidence. * Lead on security: Own our security posture across infrastructure and application layers - IAM, secrets management, network segmentation, container and dependency scanning, vulnerability management, supply chain security, and audit readiness. Embed security as a design constraint, not a bolted-on review step. * Improve incident response: Strengthen our on-call practices, runbooks, and post-incident learning. We treat reliability as a product feature. * Enable product teams: Provide tooling, guidance, and self-service capabilities that help product engineers adopt better operational and deployment practices - make the good path the easy path. * Support the broader platform surface: Temporal workflows, PostgreSQL operations, S3, our Estuary CDC pipeline, and AI service infrastructure on GCP/Azure as we expand our AI capabilities ## Related Videos - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [From Doubt to Confidence: How Sentry Uses Verdaccio to Bulletproof SDK Releases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/739-from-doubt-to-confidence-how-sentry-uses-verdaccio-to-bulletproof-sdk-releases) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [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) - [Super scaling for the Super Bowl: How to survive 30 million users hitting your backend in 30 minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100356-super-scaling-for-the-super-bowl-how-to-survive-30-million-users-hitting-your-backend-in-30-minutes) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [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)
