Site Reliability Engineer

About the Role

This Site Reliability Engineer III role is a senior, hands-on position serving as the PostgreSQL subject-matter expert across a modern, cloud-native data platform. You'll play a critical role in database architecture, performance, reliability, security, and observability, partnering closely with application, security, and platform teams.

What You'll Own

You'll partner directly with platform, architecture, and product engineering teams to:

• Migrate legacy on-prem .NET systems to .NET 8 + AWS in a regulated, high-integrity environment

• Build internal tooling and services in Rust for security, performance, and cost efficiency

• Optimize PostgreSQL on AWS RDS (indexes, query plans, concurrency)

• Own observability end-to-end with Datadog (instrumentation, tracing, custom metrics, SLOs)

• Identify and eliminate operational toil at scale

This is an ownership role. You build it, ship it, and stand behind it.
