About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Filevine, you are the senior technical authority on the SRE team and a strategic partner to engineering leadership.
You don’t just maintain systems — you shape engineering culture, define the technical standard for how Filevine runs in production, and bridge the gap between high-level business goals and robust, internet-scale technical execution.
You own the roadmap across two critical SRE domains — Observability & Alerting and Platform Infrastructure — and are accountable for ensuring the team solves reliability problems permanently rather than absorbing them as toil.
You operate as the senior IC counterpart to the Engineering Manager: technical correctness lives with you.
You partner with the Reliability Architect and engineering leadership on significant technical decisions, mentor engineers across experience levels, and influence reliability strategy across the broader organization.
Reliability at Filevine protects revenue.
You are the senior technical voice responsible for ensuring that uptime, incident response, and every production change meet the operational standard the business demands.

Requirements

What you’ll need

12+ years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE, including 6+ years in SRE and 3+ years leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives for distributed production systems.
Expert-level depth in observability and platform infrastructure, with broad expertise in incident response, capacity planning, automation, and reliability engineering.
Advanced experience with a major container-orchestration platform, preferably Kubernetes, and an observability platform such as New Relic, Datadog, or equivalent.
Strong software-engineering ability in Python, Go, Bash, or another general-purpose language, with experience building production tooling, automation, or platform capabilities.
Proven ability to mentor engineers and communicate technical risk clearly to engineering, product, and executive audiences.
Experience in a regulated environment such as FedRAMP, CJIS, HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI is strongly preferred.
