[Remote] Staff Site Reliability Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Arcadia is hiring a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to anchor its SRE/Platform Engineering team. The role owns reliability projects end to end, architects and operates hybrid infrastructure, and improves automation, observability, security, and incident response.

Responsibilities

• Own and deliver SRE projects end-to-end, from scoping and design through implementation, rollout, and documentation
• Serve as a technical anchor for the SRE team: run design reviews, pair on complex debugging, and mentor engineers to work through ambiguity independently
• Design and operate infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments, making sound tradeoffs between speed, reliability, and cost
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and similar) with reusable, well-reviewed modules across multiple environments
• Lead operations/solutions that may span across cloud and on-prem, including upgrades, capacity planning, networking, and scaling, and turn them into repeatable runbooks and automation
• Evolve CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual steps and improve rollback safety
• Drive observability improvements so engineering teams can monitor effectively with meaningful dashboards, SLOs, and low-noise alerting
• Identify and execute FinOps initiatives across cloud platforms, backed by data
• Contribute to database reliability for MySQL, PostgreSQL & MSSQL; including backups, performance, replication, and failover testing
• Strengthen security posture through least-privilege access, secrets management, monitoring, and audit readiness across hybrid environments
• Troubleshoot complex production issues spanning networking, cloud, compute, on-prem, Kubernetes, and databases, then convert the fix into a runbook or automation
• Write documentation the team actually needs: architecture decision records, runbooks, and post-incident action items that get closed
• Partner with SRE leadership and engineering teams on incident reviews, migration planning, and platform strategy
• Participate in on-call and drive post-incident analysis focused on systemic fixes over individual blame

Skills

• 6+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Engineering, with a clear progression from task execution to independent project ownership
• Hands-on expertise in AWS, Azure, and on-prem infrastructure; able to architect resilient hybrid solutions and explain the tradeoffs
• Strong Terraform skills, including multi-environment state management and reviewing others' IaC
• CI/CD design and ownership with a track record of improving deployment reliability
• Observability experience, including defining strategies to reduce alert noise
• Strong written and verbal communication; you will present proposals, write documentation others can follow, and work across teams daily
• Automation-first mindset with a record of reducing operational toil
• Incident management experience, including post-incident reviews that fix the system, not just the symptom
• Ability to operate autonomously: propose an approach, pressure-test it with peers, and execute
• Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position at this time
• FinOps experience across multiple cloud providers
• Kubernetes
• Mentorship ability, formal or informal (we will ask about this in interviews)
• Secrets management experience (e.g., Vault)
• Event-driven architecture experience
• Exposure to AI-enabled tooling and workflow automation
• Experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake
• Relevant certifications (AWS, Azure, CNCF, HashiCorp)
• Experience in a company that has grown through acquisitions, consolidating disparate infrastructure environments

Benefits

• Remote-first policy
• Flexible Leave Policy
• Comprehensive coverage including accident policy and life insurance
• Medical Insurance
• Flexible Benefit Plan
• Equity
• Bonus, if applicable
