The Core Infrastructure Team is the backbone of Eightfold, responsible for the architecture, maintenance, and enhancement of critical elements of our technology stack. This includes infrastructure supporting our Search, Databases, Machine Learning, Data Warehouse, Developer Platform, and Application Infrastructure in AWS and Azure. This role is part of a team responsible for critical cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure, ensuring global reliability, scalability, security, cost optimization, and adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). We are looking for a Software Engineer/Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with a strong focus on production infrastructure health and operation to join our Core Infra team. You will be responsible for the stability, uptime, incident response, and operational excellence of Eightfold's multi-region production environments across AWS and Azure. This role emphasizes system health, rather than feature development velocity. You will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability of the core infrastructure that underpins all customer-facing solutions. We've built strong foundations with automation, monitoring, and runbooks to ensure on-call is predictable and manageable. This role offers engineers valuable hands-on production support experience as well as experience for improving overall infrastructure health through observability, health metrics, and reliability engineering practices.

  • Monitor, maintain, and improve the reliability, availability, and performance of production systems.
  • Participate in the daytime oncall rotation, triaging and resolving production incidents.
  • Execute and enhance automation, monitoring, alerting, and operational tooling to minimize manual intervention.
  • Follow and improve runbooks and escalation paths to ensure consistent incident management.
  • Collaborate closely with global SRE and development teams to implement best practices for system reliability.
  • Contribute to post-incident reviews, drive root cause analysis, and implement preventive solutions.
  • Support capacity planning, change management, and infrastructure upgrades.
  • Advocate for operational excellence by identifying process gaps and driving continuous improvement.
  • 3+ years of experience in CloudOps or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) with hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure.
  • Solid understanding of large-scale distributed systems, including real-time and async data processing, search, and DB systems.
  • Proficiency in managing cloud environments, specifically AWS and Azure.
  • Experience with automation tools, including Terraform, CloudFormation, Python, Shell Scripting, and Ansible.
  • Demonstrable skills in python scripting and triaging production issues using CloudWatch and other debugging tools.
  • Proven experience providing 24/7 on-call support and incident management for critical production infrastructure.
  • Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
  • Effective communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Hands-on experience with Prometheus and Grafana is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or similar).
  • Experience in load testing using Locust is a plus.
  • Experience in supporting highly restricted production environments (e.g. federal government customers) is a plus.
  • Bachelors and/or Masters degree in Computer Science or equivalent Engineering discipline.
  • Family medical, vision and dental coverage.
  • Competitive base salary.
  • Eligibility for equity awards and discretionary bonuses or commissions.
