The Role


Join our dynamic team as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on the Vault Platform team, where you'll ensure the scalability and reliability of our enterprise applications. You'll tackle complex challenges at a global scale, drawing on your deep expertise in Java and modern open-source technologies to make a tangible impact on production systems.
You should have extensive experience with Java applications and the latest open-source technologies, ideally from enterprise software development or a high-growth tech company. As a Senior SRE, you'll need to be naturally curious and skilled at problem-solving. You'll also bring a unique engineering perspective, understanding how systems integrate in production to operate at a global scale for hundreds of customers across North America, Europe, and Asia.

What You'll Do

  • Build Cloud Infrastructure: Rapidly build new cloud infrastructure from scratch, adhering to software development best practices
  • Drive Reliability & Scalability: Ensure our platform meets the scalability and reliability needs of our hundreds of global customers (across North America, Europe, and Asia)
  • Lead Incident Management: During an incident, effectively lead triage and mitigation efforts, potentially performing periodic on-call duty for escalations
  • Automate & Optimize: Develop tools and automation to eliminate manual work and reduce issue resolution times
  • Full-Stack Diagnostics: Proactively learn all necessary systems to provide full-stack diagnostics and determine root causes of production problems
  • Strategic Engineering Partnership: Strategize with engineering teams on complex problems, offering insights on what will work at scale (supporting 2M+ users) and guiding development decisions before features ship
  • Influence Design: Participate in engineering design reviews of new features and drive initiatives to improve operational efficiency and platform scalability
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with Product Management, Design, and QA to deliver cutting-edge solutions and direct customer value
  • Backend Focus: Work across multiple layers of our technology stack, with a primary focus on backend development, and opportunities in frontend and infrastructure
  • Effective Communication: Communicate clearly with engineering teams, succinctly describing problems for seamless hand-offs during outages with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Mentorship: Actively mentor team members, contributing to a positive and high-performing team environment

Requirements

  • Deep Java Expertise: 5+ years of experience in Java development, with a strong preference for experience within enterprise cloud software companies
  • Operational Experience: Hands-on operational experience in a high-volume or critical production service environment, including incident management and root cause analysis
  • Code Quality: Proven ability to write clean, testable, readable, and maintainable code within a collaborative team setting
  • Open Source Proficiency: Hands-on experience with a range of open-source technologies, such as Spring, MySQL, Hibernate, Solr, Maven, Git, Tomcat, Linux, AWS, Vagrant, Docker, and Kubernetes
  • Database Mastery: 3+ years of experience in relational databases with expert-level SQL skills
  • Scripting Skills: Solid scripting proficiency with languages such as Shell, Bash, Ansible, Python, Go, Ruby, etc.
  • Leadership & Communication: Demonstrated history of incident management and leadership ability, with effective communication skills across all levels (individual contributors to executives)
  • Mentorship: Proven record of making your team better through mentorship
  • This role requires a working schedule of Monday - Friday, 6 AM - 2 PMEST, and candidates must be located in the EST or AST time zones to be considered

Perks & Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
  • PTO and company-paid holidays
  • Retirement programs
  • 1% charitable giving program

Compensation

  • Base pay: $130,000 - $225,000
