Candidates must be able to pass a criminal background check and drug screen and must be legally eligible to work in the United States, as our client is unable to sponsor at this time.

  • Collaborate directly with architects and software engineers to incorporate reliability principles into new features and platform enhancements

  • Define and implement SLOs/SLIs and guide reliability best practices

  • Participate in design conversations for microservice-based and distributed systems; advise on patterns that improve fault tolerance and performance

  • Write production-quality code (Java, Python, or similar) for automation and platform improvements

  • Apply Infrastructure-as-Code practices (Terraform) to build, validate, and manage cloud environments (Azure)

  • Troubleshoot complex systems and improve resiliency, scaling, and performance

Qualifications

  • 5–7+ years in SRE, DevOps, or software engineering

  • Strong coding background (C#, Java, Python, etc.)

  • Deep Azure experience + Kubernetes (AKS)

  • Experience with CI/CD, IaC, distributed systems, and cloud monitoring

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
