Senior Site Reliability Engineer
About The Position
As a Site Reliability Engineer at Material Security, you will own the reliability of the infrastructure used by product teams, including GCP, Kubernetes, and Postgres across hundreds of GCP projects. This is a software engineering role focused on building systems and a culture that reduce manual on-call work, address underlying causes of alerts, and give engineers clear visibility into system health. You will work across teams and with leadership to determine priorities, and pioneer reliability engineering for agent-first production systems. Material Security is a remote-first workplace with an office in San Francisco, California. The projected annual compensation range for this position is $213,000–$229,000. Compensation is determined by factors including an individual's knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience.
Requirements
- Solid software engineering fundamentals and strong coding ability; production code is the default approach to solving problems.
- Hands-on experience running GCP or a comparable cloud and Kubernetes at production scale, including autoscaling and capacity management.
- Experience building tools and automation that other engineers depend on, rather than only documenting manual fixes in runbooks.
- Ability to independently drive ambiguous, cross-team reliability work from diagnosis through delivery of a fix.
Responsibilities
- Design and build software that removes manual on-call intervention and recurring sources of toil.
- Lead infrastructure projects end to end.
- Identify where cost-driven limits cause latency or reliability problems and address the trade-offs.
- Build tooling that provides an at-a-glance view of system health across GCP projects.
- Define SLOs with product teams and improve reliability practices across engineering.
- Pioneer reliability engineering for agent-first production systems.
