Remote Systems Reliability Engineer

Introduction: Elevate Infrastructure Reliability from Anywhere

Are you a systems thinker with a passion for uptime, observability, and infrastructure at scale? We are looking for a Remote Systems Reliability Engineer who thrives in distributed environments and is excited to optimize the availability and performance of mission-critical services. This remote-first opportunity empowers you to work on globally scaled systems that demand reliability-first engineering. With an annual salary of $178,470, this opportunity rewards technical excellence and proactive problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

Systems Design & Automation

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable system architectures that ensure continuous availability and fault tolerance across multiple environments.
• Leverage infrastructure-as-code principles using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK to build and manage resilient systems.

Observability & Monitoring

• Enhance observability with proactive logging, metrics, and tracing strategies utilizing platforms such as Datadog, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry.
• Develop automated monitoring and alerting systems that minimize false positives and reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR).

Incident Management & Reliability

• Conduct thorough root cause analysis for incidents and drive long-term remediation through blameless postmortems.
• Enhance system robustness by stress testing, chaos engineering, and load simulations.
• Be part of an on-call schedule to address critical infrastructure issues and improve incident response workflows.

Collaboration & SLOs

• Collaborate with software engineers, product teams, and infrastructure stakeholders to create service-level objectives (SLOs) and service-level indicators (SLIs).

Work Environment & Culture

Join a team of performance-obsessed engineers committed to transparency, collaboration, and engineering excellence. We promote a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, empowering you to take initiative and experiment with new approaches. As part of our globally distributed infrastructure group, you'll work with peers across time zones who value diverse thinking and respect deep focus. Our remote-first philosophy is grounded in trust, flexibility, and purpose-driven execution.
