Site Reliability Engineer

Virtru•Washington, DC

1d•$125,000 - $155,000

About The Position

While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it. Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up. Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll join a team of 6 engineers building and maintaining Virtru's cloud-native infrastructure. We collaborate closely with the Security team and multiple other engineering teams at the company. The SRE team owns cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, the Kubernetes platform, developer tooling, and observability. This role includes mentorship and structured ramp-up time. Whatever your background, you'll grow your skills alongside experienced engineers who want to help you get there.
