Job Description
Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer
A US based startup is confidentially hiring a fully remote senior-level SRE / DevOps engineer to help scale the reliability, performance, and operational maturity of a rapidly growing cloud platform.
This is a highly hands-on infrastructure role focused on improving system reliability, strengthening platform foundations, and enabling engineering teams to move faster safely. The position is not a traditional people-management or feature-delivery role.
This engineer will operate as a senior technical contributor who raises the operational bar across the organization through infrastructure improvements, technical reviews, observability work, and incident support.
What You'll Do
Reliability and Platform Engineering
- Improve platform availability and operational resilience
- Drive improvements around RTO, system performance, and operational recovery
- Identify and remediate reliability bottlenecks across infrastructure and deployment systems
- Strengthen observability, alerting quality, and operational tooling
Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure
- Maintain and improve production Kubernetes infrastructure
- Enhance deployment and CI/CD systems, including GitHub Actions and Argo CD workflows
- Build and evolve reusable Terraform modules and infrastructure patterns
- Contribute to AWS and Cloudflare infrastructure architecture and reliability
