Wilson Language Training is growing and is looking to hire a Site Reliability Engineer.

The Site Reliability Engineer will work on one of our most critical, high-traffic systems.

If you’re looking for meaningful, high-impact work on a strong team, this is the role for you.

Essential Job Functions:

• Manage monitoring, alerting, and disaster recovery for your systems, including regular DR testing
• Design for scale and cost: capacity planning, performance tuning, and high availability for high-traffic workloads
• Work across both AWS and Azure alongside our cloud engineering team, applying consistent reliability practices across our environments
• Build security into everything you do, from CI/CD and code scanning to incident response
• Mentor teammates, document what you build, and take part in on-call rotation for your systems
• Understand and display WLT's values
• Other duties as assigned

Skills and Experience:

• 5+ years in IT, including 2-3+ years focused on DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering, with hands-on production experience on AWS and/or Azure
• Strong, hands-on experience architecting, deploying, and operating highly available workloads on AWS (EC2, VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, etc.), and comfort working in Azure as well
• Hands-on infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation/CDK, or ARM/Bicep)
• Comfort with modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Azure DevOps) and monitoring/alerting tooling (Datadog, PagerDuty, or similar)
• Solid scripting or coding ability (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar
• Some exposure to cloud migration or re-platforming projects
• Experience with hybrid or multi-cloud networking (VPNs, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, peering)
• Container orchestration experience (Kubernetes or similar)
• Security tooling experience (Snyk, OWASP, SonarQube, or similar
• A calm, methodical approach to troubleshooting complex systems under pressure

Nice to Have:
