Site Reliability Engineer, Linux (Remote)

About the role

The Site Reliability Engineer (Linux) role is the critical link between our low-level infrastructure and high-level service delivery, ensuring the stability of 6,000+ servers as we transition to Kubernetes. You will take full ownership of our OS configuration and automation strategy, serving as a key driver in reducing operational toil for the entire engineering organization.

Responsibilities

• Automate Linux host lifecycle management, including configuration, patching, and image creation, to ensure consistent and reliable deployments across our hybrid environment.
• Migrate Ansible components from our existing monorepo into isolated, purpose-built repositories to improve maintainability and accelerate infrastructure delivery.
• Debug complex production issues across OS, performance, and service layers to minimize downtime and enhance the overall stability of our network services.
• Design, build, and improve infrastructure tooling that increases engineering velocity and streamlines adoption of best practices.
• Partner with security and compliance teams to embed FedRAMP requirements into our infrastructure-as-code, ensuring that secure practices are built into every deployment.
• Lead the transition of workloads to Kubernetes clusters by optimizing container base images and host configurations to support our evolving service architecture.
• Owning the reliability of critical infrastructure end to end, iterating and adapting as necessary to evolving requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in STEM and 5+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree in STEM and 3+ years of relevant experience or equivalent related work experience.
• 5+ years of experience working with Linux in a production environment.
• Experience with Python or Ruby for infrastructure automation and scripting.
• Experience with Ansible for configuration management at scale.
• Experience debugging complex system issues across OS, performance, and service layers.
• Ability to work in a hybrid cloud and on-prem environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Kubernetes cluster management and containerization (Docker).
• Knowledge of systems-level languages such as Go or C.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks like FedRAMP or NIST.
• Proven ability to lead technical projects from ambiguous requirements to production.
• Strong sense of ownership and a proactive approach to identifying and solving systemic reliability issues.
