About The Position

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform SRE team. In this role, you will build and operate the infrastructure, tools, and "paved roads" that empower our developers to deliver scalable, secure, and reliable software with speed and confidence. You’ll work across the entire stack—from infrastructure automation and observability to developer enablement and system reliability. You will be a key collaborator with software engineering and security teams, helping to evolve our Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enhance CI/CD pipelines, and scale our internal developer platform. We value pragmatism and engineering excellence, primarily using Python, Go, and AWS to reduce toil and build self-service capabilities.
