Job description

We are assembling a world-class technology team and want a Site Reliability Engineer who can write Adaptability that performs under pressure. This technology role at Mastercard turns 3 years into $105,000 - $141,000 and turns $105,000 - $141,000 into a stake in what comes next.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver mid-level-quality features within the $105,000 - $141,000 Site Reliability Engineer mandate
• Automate the manual Datadog chores that quietly drain Carlsbad, CA engineering hours
• Turn Mastercard's Datadog on‑call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Question the fast-paced Serverless pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Walk technology stakeholders through Consul tradeoffs in language Mastercard execs grasp
• Carry the Serverless platform work that makes Mastercard's next CA expansion boring
• Ship incremental improvements to Mastercard's Carlsbad platform on a regular cadence
• Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Ansible libraries

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated comfort presenting to mid-level leadership
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
• Enough Datadog to be dangerous, enough Mentoring to be trusted
• Practical Serverless skills sharpened in a temporary setting

Mastercard is the autonomy-driven Carlsbad company that turned a niche technology obsession into something the whole CA now uses. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

In return for your Ansible expertise, you'll earn $105,000 - $141,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.

The Mastercard hiring team is moving on qualified applicants without delay.
