About the role

Join our Platform Engineering team as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), where you will help operate and improve the reliability of a large-scale, hybrid infrastructure spanning on-premises colocation datacenters and multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP). You will work alongside experienced engineers supporting a broad technology estate — including enterprise middleware, databases, storage, and growing AI workloads — applying DevSecOps and GitOps practices to keep our platforms performant, secure, and resilient. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate eager to build deep, hands-on infrastructure and reliability engineering experience in a complex, real-world environment.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor production systems and respond to incidents using enterprise observability tooling, contributing to alerting, dashboards, and SLO tracking.
  • Assist in operating and maintaining on-premises colocation and cloud infrastructure across compute, storage, networking, and enterprise middleware layers.
  • Support multi-cloud operations across Azure, AWS, and GCP, including compute, networking, storage, and identity management.
  • Contribute to automation and Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives to reduce toil and improve consistency across environments.
  • Participate in DevSecOps and GitOps workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and policy enforcement.
  • Support cloud security posture management efforts, helping remediate misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across cloud environments.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to blameless post-incident reviews.
  • Document runbooks, procedures, and system configurations to support team knowledge sharing.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Foundational understanding of Linux and/or Windows server operating systems.
  • Basic knowledge of networking concepts: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, and firewalls.
  • Exposure to at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
  • Familiarity with cloud computing concepts across one or more of Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a desire to learn in a fast-paced environment.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document technical processes clearly.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in infrastructure, cloud, DevOps, or SRE-related roles.
  • Hands-on exposure to observability or monitoring tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar).
  • Familiarity with IaC tools such as Terraform or Ansible and GitOps workflows.
  • Experience with containerization or orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Cloud certifications (AWS Cloud Practitioner, Azure Fundamentals AZ-900, GCP Associate, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with cloud security posture or compliance concepts.

Pay

The anticipated starting salary range for individuals expressing interest in this position is $120,000 - $150,000 per year.
