About The Position

At MergeCo, we aren't just merging two companies; we are building a unified, scalable foundation for the future of our industry. Our IT philosophy is rooted in Governance over Administration. We don't just "fix tickets"—we build the secure, automated "rails" that allow our Engineering and Business teams to run their "trains" at high velocity. We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability & Platform Engineer who views infrastructure as code and security as a baseline requirement. You will be a key architect in defining our shared responsibility model, ensuring that while we provide the platform, the platform provides the guardrails. In this role, you will be a systems thinker who understands that IT is an enabler, focusing on building robust platforms rather than performing arbitrary third-party integrations.

Observability: Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog to drive SLIs/SLOs.
