Site Reliability Engineer
Greenhouse is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our team!
This role sits on our Datastores team, within the Platform domain. The team owns all production datastore infrastructure across every product. As the pace of new software development accelerates, you'll help scale the platform to keep up, while building the self-service tooling that lets product teams manage their own datastores end to end. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll extend our self-service datastore platform, build observability and disaster recovery as defaults rather than afterthoughts, and turn recurring support requests into reusable platform features or AI tooling.
Who will love this job
A platform builder – you'd rather build self-service tooling than be the bottleneck other teams wait on
An automator – manual toil bugs you, and you default to scripting, codifying, or templating it away
A database generalist – you’ve worked with and are excited to grow your experience in RDS, Redis, OpenSearch, or a Kubernetes-hosted datastore
A reliability owner – you think in defaults with observability, alerting, and backup/DR built into every datastore from day one
An AI fluent engineer – you already use tools like Claude to move faster, and you're excited to build that fluency into the platform itself
What you’ll do
Extend the self-service datastore platform provisioning automation, guardrails, and paved paths for product engineering teams
Ship observability, alerting, and backup/disaster recovery as built-in defaults with every datastore, without manual intervention from the team
Convert recurring pull-in work (reliability issues, scaling questions, schema-change safety) into platform features or AI tooling that other teams can use directly
Codify compliance, capacity management, and cost management into the platform itself
Support the operational needs of the growing database fleet alongside product engineering teams across all domains
Additional projects and responsibilities as business needs require
You should have
3+ years of experience as a Site Reliability Engineer or in a similar infrastructure-focused role
A proven track record directly managing, or building common tooling to support, production infrastructure in both AWS and Kubernetes
Experience building and delivering working software to production, whether tooling, platform, or product-facing services
Strong fluency with AI coding tools like Claude
