Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Remote Build)

Remote-Global

Remote Build is Remote's agentic shift: as AI agents proliferate across HR and Finance stacks, they need to route through the employment infrastructure layer—labour law across 100+ countries, payroll, entity structures, the compliance rail. The infrastructure powering these integrations must be rock‑solid, secure, and built for scale.

• Infrastructure as code at scale. Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure‑as‑code patterns using Terraform and Kubernetes that support both standard connectors and custom builds. Make it easy for engineers to deploy and operate with confidence.
• Observability and incident response. Build and maintain comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems. Lead incident response efforts, conduct post‑mortems, and drive continuous improvement in system reliability.
• Security and compliance in motion. Work with our Security team to embed security into every layer of Build infrastructure. Ensure we meet compliance requirements across 100+ jurisdictions without creating friction for developers or customers.
• Performance and cost optimisation. Continuously optimise system performance, resource utilisation, and cloud costs. Make recommendations that improve both reliability and unit economics.
• Automation and operational leverage. Identify manual operational toil and systematically eliminate it. Build tools and processes that let teams operate efficiently without scaling headcount.
• Platform reliability and developer experience. Partner with platform teams to ensure APIs, MCP, and CLI are resilient and observable. Give infrastructure feedback that shapes how the platform evolves.

• Senior‑level SRE experience: demonstrated experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, Dev Ops Engineering, or Sys Ops role. You have stood up and operated production systems at scale.
• Kubernetes and AWS: deep, hands‑on experience running Kubernetes in production. Solid AWS fundamentals across compute, networking, storage, and managed services.
• Infrastructure‑as‑code: Proficiency with Terraform or similar IaC tools. You write code to define infrastructure; you don’t click buttons in the console.
• CI/CD and deployment automation: real experience setting up and operating Git Lab, Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, or similar. You understand deployment strategies, rollback mechanisms, and safety nets.
• Scripting and systems knowledge: strong bash scripting. Comfortable debugging system‑level issues, reading logs, and understanding Linux kernel basics.
• Great communication: you explain complex infrastructure decisions clearly to both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders. You write clear runbooks and documentation.

• Experience with 1+ backend programming language (Elixir, Python, Go, Java, Node.js, etc.).
• Experience in consultancy settings.
• Container registry and artifact management (ECR, Docker Hub, etc.).
• Observability stack depth (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Grafana, or similar).
• Experience working with or scaling multi‑tenant platforms.

• You’ll report to: Engineering Manager.
• Location: Anywhere in the World.
• Travel: Whilst the majority of the work is Remote, expect around 10% travel for customer engagements.

Annual salary range: $54,000 – $150,000 USD.

• Budget for local in‑person social events or co‑working spaces.
