The Role

We are looking to add a highly experienced and impactful colleague to the organization to drive the transformation of Addepar’s Production Engineering and SRE team. This role focuses on evolving our platform towards enabling high-level declarative infrastructure orchestration and its operations. This platform closely integrates our Compute, Network, and Storage control planes, allowing us to develop highly efficient and fast-to-iterate-on services tailored to various product areas within the company, abstracting our developers from the nuances of underlying infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design, implementation, and operationalization of container infrastructure using Kubernetes, ensuring high availability, performance, and security.
• Architect, build, and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ArgoCD, AWS CodeBuild/Pipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar; establish deployment strategies (blue/green, canary).
• Drive the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Terraform, focusing on scaling the Addepar Platform across regions with cost optimization and operational efficiency.
• Develop deep application-level knowledge to inform infrastructure requirements and constraints for Developers, QA, and Management; implement dashboards for cost and inventory management, performance analysis, and capacity planning.
• Perform advanced monitoring and troubleshooting of the infrastructure and application stack; drive root cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
• Initiate and lead collaborations with cross-functional teams to resolve complex application or infrastructure issues, acting as a technical subject matter expert.
• Serve as a primary on-call responder for critical incidents, contribute to post-incident reviews, and improve system resilience.
• Collaborate with other teams to identify, communicate, and address platform needs and interactions.

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 7+ years of progressive experience in SRE/DevOps/Systems Engineering with a track record of taking on increasing responsibility.
• Expert-level understanding of Cloud Infrastructure fundamentals (AWS preferred), including advanced networking, security, and managed services.
• Programming/scripting skills in Python, Bash, and Linux tooling; Java is a plus; ability to build scalable automation and tooling.
• Broad and deep expertise with UNIX/BSD/Linux internals (Ubuntu preferred), including performance tuning and kernel-level debugging.
• Extensive containerization experience with Kubernetes (KOPS, EKS, ECS preferred), including cluster management, CRDs, and advanced deployment strategies.
• Demonstrated experience leading IaC initiatives with Terraform in complex, multi-account environments.
• Proficient experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, Sumologic, or AWS cloud-native tools; strong observability mindset.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate with multi-functional teams and influence outcomes.
• Experience contributing to automation tooling or open-source projects is a plus.
• Exposure to industry practices in financial services is a plus.

• Act Like an Owner - Think and operate with intention, purpose and care. Own outcomes.
