Job Level

About the role

  • Define and evolve reliability standards for the SmarterDx platform, including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets that align engineering work with customer impact.
  • Implement a “reliability” platform using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code best practices.
  • Enhance observability systems (metrics, logs, traces, alerting) to provide actionable insights and reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and resolve (MTTR).
  • Lead incident response, drive blameless postmortems, and implement systemic improvements to prevent recurrence.
  • Reduce operational toil through automation, self-healing systems, and improved deployment and rollback mechanisms.
  • Provide production support for the SmarterDx platform, applying SRE principles to ensure availability, performance, and data durability.
  • Research,prototype, and advocate for new reliability practices, tooling, and architectural improvements across the engineering organization.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software and software reliability engineering experience, with significant time spent operating and scaling distributed systems in production environments.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience running cloud-native infrastructure in AWS, including deep familiarity with containers, Kubernetes, monitoring, and alerting in live production systems.
  • Proven experience defining and managing SLIs/SLOs, leading incident response, and driving postmortems and systemic reliability improvements.
  • Strong expertise with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices for managing production infrastructure safely and reproducibly.
  • Deep experience with Kubernetes architecture and operations, including workload reliability, cluster scaling, networking, and failure modes.
  • Experience working in security-conscious, compliance-oriented environments where reliability and data protection are first-class concerns.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience operating large-scale systems.
