Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Astreya is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to support the stability, scalability, security, and efficiency of infrastructure and applications powering its FedRAMP cloud platform. The role owns vulnerability management through remediation and closure, develops infrastructure automation and deployment tooling, troubleshoots distributed systems, and partners with engineering and business teams to improve reliability and reduce operational overhead.

Responsibilities

  • Own findings for FedRAMP Vulnerability Management from intake through validated remediation and closure. Triage and prioritize host, OS-package, container, base-image, and application-dependency findings using exploitability, asset criticality, and remediation deadlines. Identify the real source of vulnerable software and determine whether the right action is a dependency update, image rebuild, promotion, host change, deviation, false-positive correction, or ticket cleanup. Implement or coordinate fixes through Ansible, GitLab CI, package managers, container builds, Artifactory, and Federal promotion-train workflows and validated promoted artifacts. Validate fixes using effective package versions, build artifacts, image manifests, deployed-host evidence, and scanner rescans before resolving vulnerability tickets. Maintain Jira evidence, ownership, due-date escalation, exception rationale, backlog metrics, runbooks, automation, and knowledge transfer. Success will mean reducing the overdue backlog, improving ownership and evidence quality, delivering repeatable automation and runbooks, and transferring a sustainable process to the CSI team for future use
