## About the role

This role is located in Somerville, MA. - We are a hybrid work environment and are in the office 3+ days/per week. To be considered for this role, candidates must have United States Citizenship due to the nature of the assignments. If you do not have U.S. Citizenship, you will not be considered for the position.

## What they're looking for

- 5-7+ years of hands-on DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production cloud environments at scale
- Proficiency with modern cloud infrastructure tooling — experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, and major cloud providers (AWS and/or Azure) is highly relevant
- Proven experience mentoring and coaching engineers — whether formally or informally — and a genuine interest in developing the people around you
- Experience managing enterprise-grade data persistence layers, including NoSQL and SQL databases, key/value stores, and messaging systems (e.g., AMQP, MQTT)
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Mimir, Thanos, Grafana) and a strong understanding of what good SRE practice looks like in a fast-growing SaaS environment
- Comfort driving team rituals — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives — and contributing to a high-performing team culture
