About the role
We’re hiring a Senior SRE for a Platform Engineering team inside NICE/LiveVox. This is a builder / owner role: you’ll design and evolve the AWS platform foundations that product engineering teams rely on to run services safely and efficiently.
This is not a ticket-queue operations job. We’re looking for someone who enjoys ambiguous problems, makes sound engineering decisions, and builds automation to reduce toil long-term.
What you’ll do (Key Responsibilities)
- Own platform reliability outcomes across AWS: availability, latency, resiliency, and operational readiness.
- Design and implement platform foundations (IAM, networking, compute, deployment patterns, and guardrails) that enable teams to build safely at scale.
- Build infrastructure automation using IaC (Terraform) and CI/CD workflows that improve repeatability and reduce manual work.
- Lead incident response for platform-level issues (detection → mitigation → root cause analysis → permanent fixes) and drive measurable prevention.
- Improve observability and operational maturity (metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, alert design) with a bias toward actionable signals.
- Partner with engineering teams to improve service design, deployment safety, and runtime behavior through pragmatic reviews and mentoring.
- Document and standardize platform patterns, runbooks, and decision records so the system gets easier to operate over time.
What we’re looking for
We’re not looking for a specific background as much as strong ownership and technical judgment. You’ll be successful here if you are comfortable being the person who says:
“Here’s the tradeoff, here’s the decision, here’s how we’ll measure if it worked.”
Minimum qualifications
- 5+ years in SRE / Platform Engineering / Infrastructure Engineering (or similar)
- Strong experience operating services in AWS in production
- Strong Linux fundamentals and troubleshooting skills (used for engineering judgment, not ticket processing)
- Experience building automation with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred)
- Fluency with at least one language used for automation (Python, Go, or similar)
- Clear written and verbal communication (you can explain complex operational topics without drama or vagueness)
Preferred qualifications
- Experience designing multi-account AWS environments, governance controls, and secure-by-default patterns
- Deep familiarity with Kubernetes, ECS/Fargate, or other production orchestration platforms
- Experience with SLO-based reliability, alert tuning, and reducing operational noise
- Experience mentoring engineers or leading reliability efforts across teams
This role is a good fit if you…
- Prefer engineering fixes over repeating manual work
- Can work with incomplete information and still make good decisions
- Enjoy building “paved roads” (platform standards) that teams can use independently
- Are curious, self-directed, and comfortable taking ownership without needing constant direction
This role is probably not a fit if you…
- Want a role primarily focused on helpdesk-style support, routine ticket queues, or “keep the servers patched” operations
- Prefer clearly defined tasks over designing solutions in ambiguous situations
- Avoid cross-team collaboration, tradeoff conversations, or writing down decisions
(That’s not a judgment — it’s just not this job.)
