Job summary

Jobgether is seeking a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in Turkey for a fully remote, globally distributed engineering org. You will be the first dedicated SRE, embedding reliability practices across teams and shaping AI-enabled incident response and observability.

You will own SLIs/SLOs, incident leadership, and reliability culture while partnering with architects and leadership to design resilient systems with strong engineering standards.

Qualifications

10+ years in engineering with 3+ years in SRE or reliability-focused leadership across multiple teams.
Own reliability at platform or organizational level, not just individual services.
Experience designing and deploying SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
Strong incident leadership for high-severity incidents and postmortems.
Deep understanding of distributed-system failure modes and resilience patterns.
Hands-on with Kubernetes, AWS, and modern observability platforms (Datadog).
Ability to read and write production code in Go, TypeScript, or similar.
Influence teams and change engineering practices without formal authority.
Coaching skills to grow engineers into reliability owners.
Excellent written and verbal communication for engineers and executives.
Preference for asynchronous decision-making and clear technical docs.
Experience using AI tools for incident investigation, telemetry, and tooling.
Know-how to structure operational data and runbooks for safe AI-assisted ops.
Pragmatic reliability balance of risk, investment, speed, and business priorities.
Experience with fraud detection, identity, payments, or real-time/adversarial environments is a plus.
Multi-region or cell-based architectures experience is a plus.
Experience with Elasticsearch, Redis, DynamoDB, or Kafka at scale and their failure modes.
Familiarity with FinOps and cloud cost-reliability trade-offs is a plus.
Authorized to work from the hiring location; visa sponsorship not provided.

Responsibilities

Define and implement SLIs and SLOs for critical production paths and tie them to engineering decisions.
Introduce error budgets as a framework balancing reliability with delivery.
Maintain reliability metrics used by leadership to guide investments.
Own the incident management lifecycle from detection to postmortems.
Improve alerting, anomaly detection, escalation, and tooling with infra teams.
Lead reliability assessments for high-risk changes and new services.
Introduce chaos engineering practices to validate safety margins.
Collaborate with engineering teams to tackle complex reliability challenges.
Coach staff and lead engineers to become reliability advocates.
Develop lightweight operational standards for runbooks, on-call, and change safety.
Embed reliability and failure tolerance into system design with architects.
Be hands-on during incidents and build tooling, dashboards, and reference implementations.
Promote AI use for incident investigation, telemetry analysis, and tooling.
Structure operational data so AI agents can safely diagnose and operate.
Contribute production fixes and improvements directly through code and infra changes.
