About the role

Who We're Looking ForWe're looking for a hands-on, high-agency Site Reliability Engineer to help shape and scale the reliability layer of our stack. You'll own the release pipeline end-to-end — managing daily releases, weekly deploys, and hotfixes — while also automating infrastructure, monitoring systems, and GitHub workflows.

Set up and manage observability tools (logs, metrics, traces), configure alarms, and be the first responder for incidents. Triage, escalate, or resolve based on impact. Automation & Internal Tooling: Write scripts, services, and automations that reduce friction and improve deployment confidence. Using AI tools to generate code is encouraged and expected — you'll be comfortable guiding, adapting, and integrating AI-assisted outputs into production workflows.Software Development: You'll contribute code when needed — whether that's building internal tools, improving system reliability, or unblocking a deploy. This is not a sprint-based role, but strong software fundamentals are key to success.Support Global Teams: Work off-hours as needed to unblock offshore teams and maintain deployment velocity across time zones.You're a Great Fit If YouHave 3–6+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure roles with production ownership.Started your career in software development — and still enjoy writing code.Are fluent in or at least familiar with Bash, Python, TypeScript, and Postgres SQL.Are a confident AWS operator and know your way around EC2, Lambda, RDS, IAM, and VPCs.Have strong experience with GitHub workflows, including GitHub Actions and release automation.Are comfortable using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to generate code — and have the skill to audit and adapt that code to meet production standards.Are familiar with CI/CD principles and enjoy owning the full deployment lifecycle.Are comfortable being on-call and understand how to design systems for both speed and safety.Can operate with a high level of autonomy in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.SalaryAs an early-stage startup, we offer a competitive compensation package that includes base salary, meaningful equity, and benefits.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
