📋 Description

• Own SLI/SLO/SLA definitions for the Akuity SaaS platform and drive continuous improvement against them • Design, instrument, and maintain observability systems (metrics, logs, traces) across multi-region AWS infrastructure • Identify reliability gaps, lead blameless post-mortems, and close the loop with permanent fixes • Partner with engineering teams to build reliability into new features before they ship to production • Participate in an on-call rotation and act as incident commander for high-severity production events • Build and maintain runbooks, escalation paths, and incident playbooks that keep mean time to resolution low • Drive improvements to alerting fidelity; reduce noise, increase signal, eliminate toil • Lead post-incident reviews with clear timelines, root cause analysis, and follow-through on action items

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of SRE, platform engineering, or production operations experience in a SaaS environment • Deep hands-on Kubernetes expertise; you understand the scheduler, networking, storage, and autoscaling at a level where you can debug anything • Strong AWS fundamentals across compute (EC2, EKS), networking (VPC, NLB, Route53), storage (S3, RDS), and IAM • Experience defining and operating against SLOs in production; you've written error budgets, not just read about them • Proficiency with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or equivalent) • Solid scripting and automation skills; Go, Python, Bash, or similar; you automate what you touch • Strong written communication: clear runbooks, sharp incident reports, thoughtful post-mortems • Live within US time zones (Pacific through Eastern), including Canada and other regions

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience • Equity participation in a well-funded, growing company • Fully remote: work from anywhere within US time zones (Pacific through Eastern), including Canada and other regions • Home office stipend and equipment budget • Flexible time off and a culture that respects it • Work directly with the engineers who built Argo CD and Kargo; you'll learn a lot here • US-based employees receive full benefits, including comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. Candidates based outside the US will be engaged as contractors.
