Job description

ByteWorks is scaling its technology platform across NM, and the Site Reliability Engineer we hire becomes one of its load-bearing decisions. Here $73,000 - $113,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind ByteWorks trusts mid-level people to steer.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Stakeholder Management-based applications
• Stress-test GitHub Actions systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Translate a napkin idea from ByteWorks founders into a Datadog flat-and-fast prototype
• Own the mid-level Disaster Recovery workstream that unblocks the rest of ByteWorks's Santa Fe, NM roadmap
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Kubernetes and Linux Administration

What You'll Bring

• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Comfort with freelance arrangements and the rhythms of a builder-led workplace
• Mid-level fluency in Apache Kafka, with Datadog on your roadmap
• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• Demonstrated knack for making the fast-paced feel manageable

At ByteWorks, the high-energy Santa Fe crew believes technology should feel boring and reliable, never thrilling and fragile. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

Step in at $73,000 - $113,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility ByteWorks is genuinely proud of.

We touched the timestamp today; the Site Reliability Engineer hunt continues in earnest.

This freelance opening in Santa Fe is built for someone like you.
