Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Linux)
Location: Remote, prefer PST hours
Visa Requirements: UC Citizenship
We are looking for a Senior SRE (Linux) to build and operate the systems that run on every host across our infrastructure.
Our team owns OS configuration, automation, AMIs, and container base images across a large-scale hybrid environment (AWS + on-prem). If you enjoy working across layers—from automation to low-level debugging—this role sits right at that boundary.
What You’ll Do
• Build automation for Linux host lifecycle (config, patching, images)
• Own system services, base images, and infrastructure components
• Debug production issues across OS, performance, and service layers
• Work across codebases (C, Go, Python, Ruby) to diagnose and fix issues
• Lead projects from ambiguous problems to production
• Improve reliability through automation and system design
• Partner on security and FedRAMP requirements
• Participate in a sustainable on-call rotation (~16 days/year)
What Makes This Role Interesting
• Own the Linux layer across the entire platform
• Work across the stack: kernel → containers → automation
• Solve real tradeoffs: reliability, security, and developer experience
• High ownership with direct impact on how engineers run services
What We’re Looking For
• 7+ years working with Linux in production
• Strong automation skills (Python and/or Ruby, Ansible preferred)
• Experience debugging complex systems issues
• Comfortable working across cloud + on-prem environments
• U.S. Person required (FedRAMP; U.S.-based work)
Nice to Have
• Docker / Kubernetes
• AMIs or container image building
• Go, C, or other systems-level languages
• Experience with compliance environments (FedRAMP, NIST, etc.)
Team Culture
We value engineers who take ownership, dive deep, and build systems that make the “right
