Position Purpose:

As an SRE within our growing eCommerce organization, you will be the engineer our development teams count on for smooth builds, deployments, and day-to-day platform support. You will build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, containerize services, and deploy them to Azure. Working alongside developers, you will support them with Docker, DNS, certificates, and traffic routing, and help keep our services reliable through our observability stack. In cooperation with the SRE lead and other engineers, you will independently own well-scoped automation and reliability work, while growing toward broader platform ownership over time.

Requirements:

• 2–3+ years of hands-on experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering

• Practical, hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) - able to build independently, not only run existing & writing and optimizing Dockerfiles

• Confident with Git / GitHub workflows

• Solid networking fundamentals - DNS, HTTP/HTTPS and status codes, TLS/SSL certificates, reverse proxies, firewalls, and traffic routing; able to debug

• Hands-on with progressive delivery - Blue/Green deployments

• Hands-on with observability - not just actively using logs, metrics, and traces to debug production issues but also building dashboards, alerts, thresholds; experience with New Relic is a strong plus

• Scripting in Bash and/or Python

• Works independently on well-scoped problems and knows when to escalate

• Hands-on and pragmatic - solves the problem, not just closes the ticket

• Good communicator - supports development teams directly, day to day

• Proactive with an ownership mindset

• Curious and open to learning new tools

• Reliability mindset - thinks about what can break, and why, before it does

• Reduces operational toil through automation, and documents operational tasks so they're repeatable and reliable

Nice to have: Azure ACA, APIM; Cloudflare; API versioning and feature flags (LaunchDarkly); secrets management / OIDC federation; e-commerce or high-traffic environments
