Remote Staff SRE: Bare-Metal Linux, Data Center Reliability

Doghouse Recruitment; United States; Remote; USD 210,000 - 350,000; Full time

Job summary

Senior/Staff Site Reliability Engineer role focusing on bare-metal Linux and data center infrastructure in a 100% remote US setting. You will own production reliability end-to-end, define SLIs/SLOs, run error budget conversations, and ship changes that reduce incidents and improve latency for high-throughput workloads.

This is a true systems role spanning Kubernetes internals, Linux performance, and network debugging, with on-call included but the aim to minimize it through automation and robust

Qualifications

• Extensive and recent production engineering experience with bare metal / on-prem / data center infra.
• Deep hands-on Linux kernel-level debugging and performance tuning.
• Strong networking expertise (DNS/TCP/TLS, latency, packet loss).
• Proficient in Go and/or Python for engineering beyond scripting.
• Experience in low-latency environments.

Responsibilities

• Own production reliability end-to-end for the client.
• Define SLIs/SLOs, run error budget conversations, and ship changes that reduce incidents and improve latency.
• Build automation to kill toil and improve deployment safety (canary/rollback).
• Turn observability into signal rather than noise.
