## About the role

Babylist's Platform team is the foundation every engineering team builds on — and this role is at the center of keeping it reliable, fast, and scalable. As a Staff SRE, you'll own the infrastructure and reliability practices that support 9 million+ users and the engineers who build for them. Babylist started as an e-commerce and registry platform, and we're actively growing beyond that — into health, media, mobile, and new product surfaces that don't exist yet.

## What they're looking for

- Deep hands-on Terraform expertise — you own IaC, not just contribute to it
- Proven AWS experience at scale — EKS, RDS, cloud networking, DNS, CDNs, load balancers — you know the gotchas
- Experienced operating Kubernetes in production — you've debugged the hard stuff, not just deployed the easy stuff
- Comfortable designing and improving CI/CD systems — CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or similar, you care about developer velocity, not just pipeline uptime
- Strong observability instincts — Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, Cronitor — you build alerting that's actionable, not noisy
- Experienced with on-call and incident management — you've run the post-mortems and actually changed things afterward
