Overview /

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on our Platform Operations team, you will wield your expertise to ensure that Numerated’s innovative SaaS products are built on reliable, scalable, resilient and secure cloud infrastructure. You will help create a bridge between operations and product development by applying an operations mindset to our software engineering and vice versa. Furthermore, you will play a key role in maintaining and evolving our operations and information security praxes and in helping to ensure that our infrastructure meets the demands of our fast-paced, dynamic organization.

You bring a deep understanding of cloud native architectures, practices, and tools. With a background in software development, site operations, and infosec, you are just as comfortable writing code, building out an environment, building an IDS policy, or responding to the alerts it generates.

In this role you will be all-in on tactics, managing, maintaining, monitoring, and supporting the day-to-day operations of our cloud computing presence and strategy, anticipating our future infrastructure needs and designing and implementing elegant solutions that meet them.

This is a 100% remote work from home opportunity!
