Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Description

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Material Security, you'll own the reliability of the infrastructure every product team builds on, including GCP, Kubernetes, and Postgres across hundreds of GCP projects. This is a software engineering role, where you’ll be building systems and the culture that removes manual on-call work, fixes the underlying causes of alerts, and gives engineers a clear view of system health. You'll work with every team and work with leadership to decide where things go..

Responsibilities

• Design and build software that removes manual on-call intervention and recurring sources of toil.
• Lead infrastructure projects end to end.
• Find where cost-driven limits create latency or reliability problems, and fix the trade-off.
• Build tooling that shows system health across our GCP projects at a glance.
• Define SLOs with product teams and raise the bar on reliability practice across engineering.
• Pioneer reliability engineering for agent-first production systems.

Requirements

• Technical Ability : Solid software engineering fundamentals and raw coding ability. Production code is your default way of solving a problem.
• Infrastructure Depth : Hands-on experience running GCP (or a comparable cloud) and Kubernetes at production scale, including autoscaling and capacity management.
• Automation First : You have built tools and automation that other engineers depended on, not just runbooks that describe a manual fix.
• Ownership : Comfortable driving ambiguous, cross-team reliability work on your own, from diagnosis to a shipped fix.
• Material Security is a remote-first workplace with an office in San Francisco, California.
• Compensation at Material Security is determined by a range of factors, including but not limited to the individual’s particular combination of knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience. The projected annual compensation range for this position is $213,000-$229,000.
