Senior Site Reliability Engineer
We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join a growing engineering team at a high-growth, mission-driven tech startup.

As a Senior SRE, you'll play a crucial role in building and scaling our platform with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and automation. You'll work closely with product and engineering teams to develop and implement best practices that ensure uptime, speed, and security-while mentoring others and driving a culture of continuous improvement.

This position is hybrid 3 days in-office in NYC (Tues, Wed, Thurs)

Responsibilities:
  • Architect & Automate: Design and build scalable, highly available infrastructure using IaC (Terraform preferred).
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with software engineers, data teams, and product managers to improve system reliability and performance.
  • Drive Excellence: Set high standards for observability, incident response, CI/CD, and operational practices.
  • Lead & Mentor: Support fellow engineers in adopting SRE best practices and encourage a culture of ownership, agility, and innovation.

Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or related engineering roles-preferably in a startup or high-growth environment.
  • Strong experience with AWS (VPC, Route 53, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS).
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
  • Proficient in a modern programming language (Python, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of monitoring, incident management, and observability tools (DataDog a plus).
  • Experience with Terraform or similar IaC frameworks.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis now and in the future.
