Site Reliability Engineer - Remote Eligible

Site Reliability Engineer

We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join a high-impact cloud infrastructure team at one of Virtasant's key technology partners. You'll play a critical role in improving system observability, ensuring platform reliability, and embedding proactive engineering practices across a globally distributed environment.

This is a hands-on technical role ideal for someone who brings a developer's mindset to SRE work. You'll be expected to anticipate problems before they happen, automate smart solutions, and elevate how reliability is measured, built, and maintained.

What You'll Do

• Drive the creation and evolution of observability systems — including dashboards, logging, alerting, and instrumentation.
• Identify trends, anomalies, and early warning signs through data analysis.
• Work with engineers to drive the adoption of observability best practices across squads.
• Surface, propose, and implement proactive reliability improvements across AWS environments.
• Contribute to build, test, and deploy workflows (CI/CD), with a strong emphasis on automation.
• Collaborate across teams using agile ceremonies, async-first workflows, and direct feedback loops.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Experience

• Deep knowledge of observability tooling, preferably with Datadog
• Hands-on SRE experience within AWS, including Lambda, containers, and IAM
• Strong programming skills in Python and Ruby
• Experience with Terraform and infrastructure as code (IaC) practices
• Familiarity with incident management, on-call rotations, and SLAs
• Ability to identify patterns and risks from telemetry and act on them proactively

Nice-to-Haves

• Previous experience as a software developer or DevOps engineer
• Knowledge of reliability strategies for containerized workloads
• Comfortable contributing to CI pipelines and deployment strategies
• Experience working in environments with limited QA/BA handoffs

Tools & Environment

• Languages: Python, Ruby
• Cloud: AWS (Lambda, ECS, IAM)
• IaC: Terraform
• Observability: Datadog
• Workflow: Agile (Scrum), Jira, Git, CI/CD pipelines

Why This Role is Exciting

• Observability-first culture – You won't just respond to alerts; you'll design the systems that prevent them.
• Hands-on impact – You'll drive real improvements that increase uptime, performance, and engineering confidence.
• Autonomy & ownership – Work independently while contributing to high-performing global teams.
• Real scale challenges – Help support large-scale, distributed systems with meaningful end-user impact.
