Job description

Join to apply for the Site Reliability Engineer role at Equifax.

Synopsis of the role

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) at Equifax is a discipline that combines software and systems engineering for building and running large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that internal and external services meet or exceed reliability and performance expectations while adhering to Equifax engineering principles.

SRE is also an engineering approach to building and running production systems – we engineer solutions to operational problems. Our SREs are responsible for overall system operation and we use a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad set of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on operational work, blameless postmortems, proactive identification, and prevention of potential outages are integral to our culture.

Our SRE culture emphasizes diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and openness. Equifax brings together people with varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage collaboration, big thinking, and risk-taking in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction on meaningful projects and provide support and mentorship for growth and pride in work.

What You’ll Do

• Manage system uptime across cloud-native (AWS, GCP) and hybrid architectures.
• Build infrastructure as code (IaC) patterns that meet security and engineering standards using technologies like Terraform, scripting, and cloud SDKs.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment using platform tools like Jenkins and cloud-native toolchains.
• Create automated tools for deploying service requests and detailed runbooks for managing, detecting, remediating, and restoring services.
• Troubleshoot complex distributed architecture service maps and participate in on-call for high-severity incidents, improving runbooks to reduce MTTR.
• Lead blameless postmortems and own actions to prevent recurrences.

What Experience You Need

• BSc in Computer Science or related field involving coding, or equivalent experience.
• 5-7 years in software engineering, systems administration, database administration, or networking.
• 2+ years developing and/or managing software in public cloud environments.
• Experience monitoring infrastructure and application uptime and performance.
• Proficiency in languages such as Python, Bash, Java, Go, JavaScript, or Node.js.
• Knowledge of systems, storage, networking, security, and databases.
• Skills in system administration, automation, and orchestration using Terraform, Chef, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.
• Experience with CI/CD practices and tools.
• Cloud Certification is strongly preferred.

What Could Set You Apart

Demonstrate skills in:

• DevSecOps practices and engineering resilience.
• Operational excellence and system monitoring.
• Systems thinking and technology trend awareness.
• Technical communication and presentation skills.
• Troubleshooting and problem resolution.
