Job description

The Site Reliability Engineer keeps our business-critical systems running optimally as part of a small DevOps team supporting a large and varied infrastructure. Your first priority is continuity of service; your second is improving operational efficiency through automation.

You will design, build, and maintain stable, efficient infrastructure across production, QA, and development environments — building cloud environments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), improving build and deployment pipelines, and automating monitoring, backups, and security tooling. Much of this role is writing code to automate operations, so you should be comfortable scripting and programming in an operational context, including working familiarity with Java.
