Senior, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Sprinter Health • San Francisco, CA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer who wants to build the reliability, infrastructure, and security foundations that power last-mile healthcare delivery at scale. At Sprinter, you’ll work on the operational backbone behind products that blend logistics, patient experience, safety, and medical operations. Our systems help determine whether patients get access to care, whether clinicians are routed efficiently, whether internal teams can operate effectively, and whether our platform can scale securely and reliably as the business grows. This role is ideal for someone who wants broad ownership across reliability, cloud infrastructure, security, observability, automation, and platform design. You’ll help raise the operational bar across engineering, reduce toil through infrastructure as code and scripting, strengthen our security posture, and guide architectural decisions that make our systems more resilient over time. If you want to make meaningful technical decisions, work across engineering and operations, and help shape the foundation of how a high-growth healthcare company scales, this is that role.

• Worked deeply with infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform
• Improved observability, monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response practices across engineering teams
• Automated infrastructure, deployment, or operational workflows using scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or TypeScript
• Improved cloud security, access management, secrets management, networking, or operational controls
• Troubleshot production issues across application, infrastructure, networking, and deployment layers
• Worked in environments where reliability, security, ambiguity, and speed all matter
• Made technical decisions that balanced immediate business needs with long-term scalability, reliability, and maintainability

Nice To Haves

• You’ve built or scaled infrastructure in health tech, logistics, marketplace, fintech, or other operationally complex environments
• You’ve worked in mid- or growth-stage startups where speed, ambiguity, and pragmatic decision-making were required
• You have experience improving security posture in a practical, engineering-friendly way
• You’ve helped establish reliability standards, incident response practices, or platform patterns across an engineering org
• You’re comfortable working directly with product engineers, data teams, operations, security stakeholders, and technical leadership
• You have experience mentoring engineers and raising the operational bar across a broader engineering team
• You’ve worked in regulated environments and understand the importance of privacy, security, and compliance best practices

• Help define reliability, security, and infrastructure standards that allow Sprinter to scale without creating brittle systems
• Support incident response practices, postmortems, operational readiness, and continuous improvement across engineering
• Make pragmatic tradeoffs between reliability, security, speed, and simplicity in a fast-moving startup environment
