** GEICO's Cyber Security Engineering & Analytics, Automation (SEA) team is seeking a Staff Cyber Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) — a hands-on, engineering-minded practitioner who is passionate about building reliable, observable, and scalable systems at the intersection of security and infrastructure. This is a strong individual contributor role for someone who bridges the gap between software development and infrastructure engineering, thrives writing code and automation to solve operational problems, and takes pride in keeping mission-critical security platforms running at their best.

If you love making systems more reliable through engineering — not just process — this role is for you.
** Position Description
** As a Staff Cyber SRE, you will be embedded in the Cybersecurity Engineering & Analytics team, partnering directly with software developers and infrastructure engineers to improve the reliability, performance, and operability of GEICO's security platforms and tooling. You will write production-quality code and automation, own observability and incident response practices, and continuously drive improvements that reduce toil and increase system resilience.

Python expertise is required;
Golang experience is strongly preferred. You operate in a high-velocity agile environment with a bias toward shipping working software and measurable reliability improvements.

Experience with AI/ML and working knowledge of LLMs is a meaningful differentiator.
** Position Responsibilities
** As a Staff Cyber SRE, you will:
* ** Own Reliability Engineering:
** Define and drive reliability standards for cybersecurity platforms — establishing SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets; identifying systemic weaknesses; and engineering solutions that improve uptime, latency, and fault tolerance.
* ** Write Code and Build Automation:
** Develop production-quality software in Python (required) and Golang (preferred) to automate operational workflows, build internal tooling, eliminate toil, and improve the day-to-day velocity of security engineering teams.
* ** Partner with Developers and Infrastructure Engineers:
** Work closely with software engineers and infrastructure teams to review system designs for reliability, provide feedback on deployability and operability, and ensure that what gets built can be confidently operated and maintained in production.
* ** Drive Observability:
** Instrument security platforms and pipelines with meaningful metrics, logs, and traces; build dashboards and alerting that give the team real operational visibility using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and similar observability stacks.
* ** Lead Incident Response and Post-Mortems:
** Be a first-responder for production issues affecting security systems; drive structured incident response, coordinate resolution, and produce blameless post-mortems with actionable follow-through to prevent recurrence.
* ** Build and Maintain CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code:
** Develop and own deployment pipelines (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins) and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible) that enable safe, repeatable, and fast delivery of security platform changes.
* ** Improve Security Platform Performance:
** Profile, benchmark, and tune security services, detection pipelines, and data ingestion workflows — identifying bottlenecks and shipping targeted improvements that matter.
* ** Contribute Actively in Agile:
** Be a…
