About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to support the development and
operation of our Kubernetes-based platform in regulated environments. In this role,
you’ll collaborate with engineers across the stack to ensure the platform remains
reliable, observable, compliant, and easy for developers to use—while maintaining team
velocity.
This is a hands-on position centered on strengthening reliability, advancing automation,
and driving operational excellence within environments that have rigorous security and
compliance standards.
What You Will Do
• Own and operate components of the Kubernetes platform, including
deployment, upgrades, and maintenance
• Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable and reliable platform
features
• Build and improve automation, tooling, and CI/CD workflows to reduce
operational overhead
• Monitor system health and respond to issues; participate in on-call rotations and
incident response
• Contribute to defining and tracking SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
• Support FedRAMP High / IL5 compliance efforts, including system hardening,
documentation, and audit readiness
• Collaborate with senior engineers, technical leaders, and cross-functional
teams to deliver platform improvements
• Participate in on-call rotations supporting customer requests and paging alerts
• Participate in post-incident reviews and implement follow-up improvements
What You Bring
• 8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads in
production
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar; GovCloud
experience a plus)
• Strong working knowledge of Linux systems, networking, and distributed
systems fundamentals
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
• Ability to write and maintain scripts or services (e.g., Python, Go, Bash)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana,
logging systems)
• Basic understanding of security and compliance concepts (e.g., NIST 800-53,
STIGs, RMF)
Nice to Have
• Exposure to FedRAMP High or DoD IL5 environments
• Experience with CI/CD systems and deployment automation (e.g., ArgoCD)
• Familiarity with container security and vulnerability management
• Experience working in regulated or audited environments
How You Work
• You take ownership of well-scoped problems and drive them to completion
• You are comfortable working independently, while seeking input on more complex
decisions
• You collaborate effectively with senior engineers and technical leaders
• You prioritize simplicity, reliability, and maintainability in your work
• You are eager to learn and grow into broader technical ownership over time
