About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic Senior Site Reliability Engineer to ensure k-ID's reliability at scale. This pivotal role resides within our production backbone, where you will take ownership of and enhance the systems that maintain the availability, observability, security, and resilience of our platform as we experience traffic growth and an expanding client base.
You will engage in infrastructure, tooling, deployment workflows, incident response, and systems design to ensure our scalability without compromise. This position is not about closing tickets; we seek a proactive individual who can assess systems, pinpoint vulnerabilities, and fortify them. You should possess a keen understanding of failure modes, blast radius, deployment safety, recovery time, cost efficiency, and the realities of managing production systems under pressure. Comfort with coding, automating processes, and collaborating closely with engineers to enhance reliability through improved architecture and operational practices is essential.
