🛠️ How You'll Contribute
- Embed With Teams Early: Partner with development teams throughout the project lifecycle, from design and architecture reviews through launch readiness. Bringing an SRE perspective before code is written, not after it breaks. Shepherd projects to completion with reliability designed in.
- Define Production-Readiness Standards: Establish and evolve the design reviews, launch checklists, and operational acceptance criteria that projects pass through, and own how teams adopt them across the org.
- Make Reliability Measurable: Define meaningful SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in collaboration with product and engineering, and help teams use them to make real prioritization decisions.
- Build the Paved Roads: Create the frameworks, tooling, and golden paths across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with Terraform as the common backbone, that make the reliable way the easy way for every engineer.
- Cross-Team Leadership: Partner across engineering, product, and design to align reliability work with business objectives. Influence roadmaps, resolve technical disagreements, identify process and technical debt across the organization, and propose solutions that accelerate velocity for multiple teams. Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raising the bar for operational excellence everywhere.
- Mature Our Incident Practice: Lead by influence on incident management and blameless postmortems, turning failure modes and operational signals into systematic, durable improvements.
- Represent Us Externally: Build relationships with our cloud and infrastructure provider teams to influence roadmaps and unlock early access to new capabilities, and represent StackBlitz in customer trust conversations and the broader reliability community.
- On-call rotation: Every SRE shares our on-call rotation, currently one week per month.
💡 Qualifications
- Multi-Cloud Fluency: General fluency across AWS, GCP, and Azure matters more to us than deep specialization in any one, we run across all three. Terraform is our common infrastructure-as-code layer everywhere.
- Our Stack: Comfort supporting and contributing to TypeScript (frontend and backend) and Ruby on Rails (backend) services. We're opinionated about our stack, and you'll work alongside it daily.
- SRE / Production Engineering Experience: Significant experience as an SRE, production/platform engineer, or software engineer with a deep reliability focus, including time operating at scale.
- Software Engineering Excellence: Strong software engineering fundamentals; you write production-quality code and can go deep with the teams you partner with, balancing immediate needs against long-term maintainability.
- Technical Leadership & Influence: A track record of changing how teams work, not just how systems run, leading across team boundaries without formal authority.
- Strategic Execution: Ability to take ambiguous, high-scope problems and drive them to completion with minimal oversight.
- Systems Thinking: Ability to identify process, communication, and technical debt across the organization and propose solutions that accelerate velocity for multiple teams.
- Data-Driven Leadership: Experience building measurement and evaluation frameworks, identifying patterns in operational data, and translating findings into organizational improvements.
- Strong verbal and written English communication skills are required, as this role involves frequent collaboration with team members, stakeholders, customers, and external audiences where English is the primary working language.
🎯 Bonus Points
- Experience standing up or maturing an SRE practice at a growth-stage company.
- Background working as an embedded SRE or partnering closely with product teams.
- Experience designing chaos/resilience testing or progressive delivery practices.
