Senior Site Reliability Engineer – FedRamp

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Familiarize yourself with the entire platform — encompassing all VDC workloads, dependencies, and risk factors. Much of this will be achieved through code, documentation, and discussions rather than direct access to the environment.

• Collaborate with subject matter experts across the organization to bridge knowledge gaps and create onboarding materials for the team.

• Draft and maintain runbooks, architecture documentation, and operational guides.

• Design infrastructure that ensures high availability and fault tolerance on Azure (including Azure Government).

• Establish SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets where they currently do not exist.

• Manage incident responses and conduct blameless postmortems. Transform incidents into enhancements.

• Identify reliability risks within both modern and legacy workloads and develop feasible remediation plans that adhere to compliance constraints.

• Address observability gaps — determine instrumentation needs and oversee implementation.

• Set standards for alerting, telemetry, and monitoring in collaboration with partner teams.

• Create automation to minimize manual effort and facilitate fleet management.

• Engage in on-call rotations.

• Work with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, deployment automation, and configuration management — including in air-gapped or compliance-restricted settings.

• Develop and sustain testing, canary deployment, and release validation pipelines.

• Integrate chaos engineering and monitoring tools, adapting selections to comply with regulatory requirements.

• Collaborate across product, platform, security, legal, compliance, and operations teams.

• Take ownership of problems end-to-end — pinpoint gaps, drive solutions, and do not await direction.

• Mentor fellow engineers and promote SRE practices throughout the organization.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 7 years of experience in Software Engineering, including at least 3 years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or a related field — preferably across multi-service platforms rather than single-service environments.

• Familiarity with Government or Sovereign Cloud (e.g., Azure Government, AWS GovCloud).

• Experience in regulated compliance environments — such as government (FedRAMP, CMMC, IL2/IL4/IL5), financial (PCI-DSS, SOX), or healthcare (HIPAA, HITRUST). You understand the influence of compliance on architecture and operations.

• Extensive experience in building and managing production services on cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred, including Azure Government).

• Quick learner of large, complex platforms with minimal guidance — adept at developing understanding from code, documentation, and architectural artifacts when direct access to the environment is limited.

• Capable of independently investigating systems and producing clear documentation, risk assessments, and improvement strategies.

• Comfortable collaborating with various teams — engineering, product, security, compliance, and operations.

• Proficient in one or more programming languages: TypeScript/JS, Go, Java, C#, or similar.

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK stack).

• Knowledge of IaC (Terraform, Terragrunt, Pulumi) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Experience with CI/CD and GitOps tools — GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, FluxCD, or Dagger.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, and cloud-native architecture.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
