Staff Site Reliability Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to lead reliability initiatives across multiple engineering teams in a fully remote, globally distributed organization. As the first dedicated SRE, you will shape reliability practices, embed SRE principles into the engineering culture, and drive measurable improvements in system resilience.

Key responsibilities

• Define and implement SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for critical production paths.
• Establish reliability metrics and dashboards for engineering leadership.
• Strengthen the incident management lifecycle, including detection, response, communication, post‑mortems, and follow‑up actions.
• Improve alert quality, anomaly detection, and escalation processes in partnership with infrastructure teams.
• Lead reliability assessments for high‑risk changes, covering production readiness, capacity, failure modes, and rollback strategies.
• Introduce deliberate failure testing, game days, and chaos engineering exercises.
• Coach engineers to become reliability advocates and promote distributed SRE ownership.
• Develop lightweight operational standards for on‑call practices, runbooks, and change safety.
• Collaborate with architects to embed reliability and failure tolerance into system design.
• Remain hands‑on during incidents, building tooling, dashboards, and automation as needed.

Required profile

• Proven senior‑level experience in Site Reliability Engineering or related fields.
• Strong leadership and influence across multiple engineering teams.
• Hands‑on mindset with the ability to build tooling and automation.
• Excellent communication skills for incident coordination and post‑mortem facilitation.
