Position Overview

We’re seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our fast-paced Engineering team.

• Support software engineers and collaborate on infrastructure needs
• Guide teams on best practices for infrastructure, deployment, and reliability
• Implement monitoring and logging standards for infrastructure and applications

This is a highly fast-paced environment where no two days will look alike. For the right candidate, with the right attitude, there are fantastic opportunities for career progression. We are an agile, fast-moving team that likes to roll up our sleeves and solve some of the biggest issues in shipping.
