About the role

Site Reliability Engineer — Cloud / DevOpsNYC | Hybrid 4 Days Onsite | Mid–Senior | $150,000–$185,000We're a fast-growing fintech platform transforming how institutional markets operate — and we need someone to own the infrastructure underneath it all. This isn't a ticket-taker role. We need a builder and enforcer who understands how things work at depth, not just how to configure them. You'll own cloud architecture, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, observability, and enforcement end to end — with real architectural authority and visibility into every layer of the stack. You should be able to speak to: How Docker isolation actually works at the kernel level — cgroups, namespaces, what's happening underneathCI/CD pipelines built as reusable systems, not one-offs — full code-to-cloud ownership Enforcing standards in the pipeline: linters, security scanning, policy-as-code Cloud architecture decisions you can justify on performance, security, cost, and ROIObservability as a discipline you've enforced across an engineering org, not just implemented for yourself Strong signal: If you've implemented OPA in a production pipeline or describe Open Telemetry as a specification rather than a tool — say so explicitly. We'll want to talk immediately.
Required: 5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE. AWS, Terraform, Python, Linux. Production distributed systems experience. Track record of owning — not just supporting — production environments. This is a full-time, W2 direct hire position. No C2C, no consultants, no visa sponsorship. AI workload infrastructure is on our roadmap. If that interests you, there's real room to grow into it. Tools and OS are secondary. Depth of thinking is not.

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.
