About the Role

We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to support the development and operation of our Kubernetes-based platform in regulated environments. In this role, you will work closely with senior engineers and technical leaders to improve reliability, scalability, and compliance across the platform. This is a hands‑on engineering role where you’ll contribute to key systems, build infrastructure to support production operations, and help implement solutions that improve the overall health and performance of the platform.

What You Will Do

• Contribute to the design, implementation, and operation of Kubernetes platforms in FedRAMP High / IL5 environments
• Support day-to-day reliability and performance of platform services, including monitoring and alerting
• Implement automation and tooling to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort
• Work with senior engineers to define and track SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
• Assist in maintaining compliance and security requirements, including support for audits and continuous monitoring
• Contribute to infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipeline improvements
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Security, Platform, Application teams) to resolve issues and deliver platform capabilities
• Participate in on‑call rotations supporting customer requests and paging alerts

What You Bring

• 4–6 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
• Experience with Kubernetes in production environments
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar; GovCloud experience a plus)
• Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking, and containerization
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
• Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Go)
• Exposure to observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, logging systems)

Nice to Have

• Experience working in FedRAMP High or DoD IL5 environments
• Exposure to CI/CD systems and deployment automation (e.g., ArgoCD)
• Familiarity with container security practices and tools
• Experience supporting regulated or audited systems

How You Work

• You take ownership of your work while seeking guidance when needed
• You collaborate effectively with more senior engineers and technical leaders
• You focus on building reliable, maintainable solutions
• You are comfortable working in structured, compliance-driven environments
• You are proactive about learning and improving systems

This is a remote position.
