Staff Site Reliability Engineer
About The Position
PayJunction is seeking a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to own the reliability, security, and automation of the platform that moves billions of dollars a year, across AWS, containers, and the physical servers we still rack ourselves. The SRE / DevOps team’s mission is to securely deliver reliable and responsive computing platforms for our customer products to run on. We keep production available and responsive, manage our infrastructure as code across physical, virtual, containerized, and AWS estates, treat PCI DSS compliance as an engineering property of the platform rather than an annual scramble, and provide the secure internal platform that PayJunction's operational, analytics, and BI tooling runs on. The vision is to have customers who rave about our secure, reliable, and responsive products that are always there for them, safely storing their important information.
Requirements
- 10+ years of relevant experience across development, DevOps, or site reliability engineering.
- 5+ years administering Linux servers in production.
- 3+ years building and operating production AWS infrastructure.
- 3+ years running production container workloads.
- 3+ years with configuration management and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Puppet, Ansible, or similar).
- 3+ years scripting for automation.
- Hands-on physical server and data center experience, with willingness to do periodic on-site work in Santa Barbara for physical server support.
Nice To Haves
- experience operating in an audited or regulated environment such as PCI DSS
- experience standing up infrastructure beneath a BI or analytics stack
- a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Keep production available and responsive, owning uptime and incident response for the systems that process payments around the clock.
- Drive the containerization of our internal DevOps estate, moving legacy services into a modern, reproducible container platform.
- Engineer and evolve our AWS infrastructure with Terraform, building for reliability, security, and cost-awareness.
- Manage infrastructure as code across physical, virtual, containerized, and cloud estates using Puppet / OpenVox, Terraform, and Ansible.
- Administer Linux servers end to end, from cloud instances down to the physical hardware and data center work behind them.
- Build PCI DSS compliance into the platform itself, through patching, vulnerability management, logging, and monitoring that hold up under audit.
- Provide technical leadership on architecture and tooling decisions, and document them so the whole team can operate what you build.
- Stand up and support the secure infrastructure underneath PayJunction's analytics and BI stack.
