## About the role

Are you a systems-minded engineer who is happiest when production tells you something you didn't expect? Do you care less about how a system looks on a diagram than about how it behaves at 3am under load it wasn't designed for? Do you want to own reliability for a platform that answers millions of identification requests a day, where being wrong or being slow is a customer-visible event? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

## What they're looking for

- 6–10 years of experience in SRE, production engineering, infrastructure, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments (AWS preferred), with meaningful time spent responsible for systems in production
- A track record of owning a system end to end — you've designed something significant, shipped it, operated it, and lived with the consequences when it misbehaved
- Hands-on experience defining and operating against SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets — not just reading the book, but getting targets adopted and acted on
- Strong incident skills: you've led or been a primary responder on high-severity, customer-facing incidents, and you've improved how an organization learns from them
- Depth in distributed systems failure modes in high-throughput, low-latency environments — cache and database saturation, cascading failure, retry storms, capacity limits, degradation and load shedding
- Depth in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), and distributed systems
