The Senior SRE will be responsible for building and maintaining tooling to support applications in Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform.

Experience with Helm and Crossplane for application deployment, building and securing container images, and working with cloud-based environments such as CloudSQL databases and Pub/Sub is essential. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Crossplane, monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, and CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions or ArgoCD is required. Strong communication skills and the ability to support developers empathetically are also important.

The target salary range for this role is between $145,000 and $190,000 USD annually, with additional bonus eligibility and equity options. Benefits effective on day one include a 401(k) match, health, vision, and dental insurance, among others.
