Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to help make k-ID reliable at scale. This role sits in the middle of our production backbone. You will own and improve the systems that keep our platform available, observable, secure, and resilient as traffic grows and our client base expands globally.

What You Will Do

Own the reliability, availability, and performance of the systems behind k-ID’s platform and public APIs, design and improve scalable infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes, build and maintain strong observability, improve deployment safety, drive incident response and production readiness practices, reduce operational toil, and partner with engineering teams.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You should be comfortable writing code, automating away toil, and partnering closely with engineers to improve reliability through better architecture and better operating practices. You should have a strong understanding of distributed systems, failure modes, service reliability, and production debugging.
