Title: Data Center Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Location: Portland, OR (Onsite)

Duration: FTE

About the Role

We are seeking a Data Center Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of large-scale data center infrastructure supporting advanced AI workloads. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to automate operations, enhance observability, and maintain high availability for distributed systems. This is a hands-on technical position in a dynamic environment, offering the opportunity to tackle complex challenges at the intersection of AI, data center operations, and software reliability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and improve the reliability and uptime of on-premises and cloud-based data center environments.
  • Design, implement, and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty).
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and continuous deployment pipelines (Buildkite, ArgoCD).
  • Participate in on-call rotations, respond to incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive post-mortem processes.
  • Analyze system performance, forecast capacity needs, and optimize resource utilization.
  • Collaborate with hardware, networking, and software engineering teams to design and implement resilient, scalable solutions.
  • Create and maintain documentation and standard operating procedures.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years in site reliability engineering, data center operations, or large-scale infrastructure management.
  • Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (on-prem and cloud), infrastructure-as-code tools (Pulumi, Terraform), and CI/CD systems.
  • Proficiency in at least one systems programming language (Rust, C++, Go) and strong scripting/automation skills.
  • Deep understanding of monitoring and observability technologies.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, networking, and distributed software systems.
  • Experience with incident management and root cause analysis.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting AI/ML workloads or high-density compute environments.
  • Familiarity with data center electrical, cooling, and network systems.
  • Certifications in SRE, Kubernetes, or data center operations.
  • Experience with both on-premises and cloud infrastructure at scale.
