Site Reliability Engineer (Junior)
To further drive our vision of premier stability and rapid feature delivery, we are looking for a Junior Site Reliability Engineer to join our team. As a Junior SRE, you will be responsible for assisting in the implementation of flexible cloud architectures with an automation-first emphasis. You will be challenged along the way to adopt the shared mentality that observability is everything, and push for that philosophy to be realized throughout the platform. As a Junior SRE you will be guided in what it looks like to be proficient at integrating multiple technologies together to form a single, coherent view of platform health. You should have an understanding of cloud and microservice security. When challenged with building out a new feature in the infrastructure, you are confident in your implementations, ready to defend them in a room with other technical minds. You also recognize that the best designs come from collaboration, not dictation, and are willing to bring implementations to the table with an expectation that there will likely be collaborative changes to your initial work.
