About Fingerprint

Powered by the most accurate device fingerprinting technology, Fingerprint enables engineers to prevent fraud, improve user experiences, and better understand their traffic. Backed by Craft Ventures.

About the role

You will be Fingerprint's first dedicated Site Reliability Engineer. You will work alongside our Architect on the shape of the platform, with Cloud Platform on the infrastructure that runs it, and with every product team on how they operate what they own — without direct reports. The mandate has three parts. First, make reliability measurable : define SLIs and SLOs for our critical paths, get teams to own them, and make error budgets the shared language for prioritizing reliability against features.

What they're looking for

  • Deep experience with SLI/SLO design and error budgets in practice, including the hard part: getting product teams to adopt and act on them
  • Strong incident leadership: you have run incident response and postmortems for high-severity, customer-facing incidents and materially improved how an organization learns from them
  • Comfortable reading and writing production code (Go, TypeScript, or similar) and infrastructure as code. You can ship a fix, not just recommend one
  • Track record of leading through influence: you have changed how teams you did not manage operate, and can explain how adoption actually happened
  • Teacher's instinct. You have coached engineers into owning reliability and can point to practices that persisted after you stepped back
  • Exceptional written communication. You make incidents, risks, and trade-offs legible to engineers and executives alike, and you default to async, documented decision-making
