This engineer will partner with more than 16 engineering teams to establish scalable practices, improve on-call health, and lead cross-team incident response. Success requires strong technical depth, proactive execution, and the ability to influence teams with different priorities. The position is a US-remote full-time role with an explicitly stated base-salary range plus equity and benefits.

Sample interview questions
I would begin by identifying critical user journeys and agreeing on measurable service-level indicators with each service owner. I would define pragmatic initial SLOs, connect them to dashboards and alerting, and use error budgets to guide reliability trade-offs. A phased rollout with shared templates, office hours, and regular reviews helps teams adopt the standard without blocking delivery.
I would first establish incident command, assess customer impact, and stabilize the service through rollback, traffic management, scaling, or failover where appropriate. I would use metrics, logs, traces, deployment history, and AWS service signals to test hypotheses across affected dependencies. After recovery, I would lead a blameless root-cause review with clear corrective actions, owners, and follow-up dates.
I have created reusable modules and versioned patterns for common resources such as Kubernetes clusters, IAM roles, networking, databases, and observability integrations. I enforce plans and policy checks in pull requests, maintain clear ownership boundaries, and provide documented migration paths for existing infrastructure. This improves repeatability while allowing teams to use approved self-service components.
I would standardize reusable GitHub Actions workflows, use dependency caching and parallel testing, and ensure artifacts are traceable to commits and deployments. I would protect secrets through short-lived credentials and least-privilege permissions, then add deployment gates, automated rollback signals, and progressive delivery where appropriate. Pipeline health metrics and clear failure diagnostics are also essential for developer adoption.
I would first understand the team’s constraints and show how the standard addresses a concrete operational pain point rather than presenting it as a mandate. I would offer a lightweight adoption path, documentation, and direct implementation support, while measuring outcomes such as reduced alert noise or faster recovery. If trade-offs remain, I would make them explicit and align on a decision with engineering leadership.

About your role
We’re looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer II to help us scale our infrastructure and reliability practices as we grow our engineering org by 90+ people this year. You’ll take ownership of reliability and observability for your team’s systems, work hands-on across Kubernetes, AWS, and CI/CD, and partner with 16+ engineering teams to roll out standards and automation that reduce friction org-wide.
This role is for someone who’s proactive by nature — you see a problem and go fix it without waiting to be asked. You’re comfortable working across teams with different workflows and priorities, and you’re already using AI tools as part of how you build, debug, and ship. You won’t be working in a vacuum: you’ll partner with a Staff-level architect and engineering leadership on the biggest calls, while owning execution and cross-team rollout yourself.
What you’ll do
Own reliability and observability across the organization — SLAs/SLOs, instrumentation, and on-call health
Design, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes infrastructure (Helm, EKS/ECS) and core AWS services (RDS/Aurora Postgres, networking, scaling)
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Argo/Helm
Drive adoption of Infrastructure as Code standards (Terraform, and increasingly Crossplane) across multiple teams
Partner with 16+ engineering teams to roll out new standards, tools, and processes — adapting the rollout to how each team actually works
Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response/root-cause analysis for issues that cross team boundaries
Use AI tools daily to work faster and more effectively, and help less AI-fluent teammates pick up the same habits
Represent SRE’s perspective in planning conversations with engineering leadership
Qualifications
Required
8-10 years of experience as a Senior SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineer
Background at smaller-to-mid-size, high-growth SaaS companies (Series A/B through C/D) — you know how to move fast and own ambiguity, not navigate a large, slow-moving org
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS or ECS), GitHub Actions, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Helm/Argo
Real database experience with Postgres and DocumentDB (Mongo) across RDS/Aurora
A track record of working cross-functionally — managing timelines, setting expectations, and collaborating with other teams’ engineers, not just your own
Already using AI as part of your actual workflow (coding, debugging, design)
Preferred
Crossplane
Datadog
What sets you apart
Proactivity and bias to action — you don’t wait for permission to fix what’s broken
Comfort driving change across teams with different priorities and some natural resistance
Genuine fluency talking through your own technical decisions in depth — the “how” and “why,” not just the “what”
Compensation
Compensation for this position includes a base salary, equity, and a variety of benefits. The U.S. base salary range for this role is $165,000 – $195,000 USD. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable.
Benefits include:
Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family
Life insurance
Mental wellness coverage
Fertility and growing family support
Flex Time Off in addition to company-paid holidays
Paid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies
Retirement saving plans
Allowance to customize your work and technology setup at home
Annual professional development stipend
Your recruiter can provide additional details about compensation and benefits.
