Our Senior Cloud Site Reliability Engineer works in partnership with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Support teams to help design and develop reliable, scalable, and cost-effective systems that meet corporate and client standards. At CentralSquare, we’re passionate about building software and processes that solve problems. We count on our Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to pursue their missions for successful Cloud deployments, performance and reliability.
Site Reliability Engineers incorporate software engineering aspects and apply them to infrastructure and operations problems. They apply software engineering principles to systems administration and serve as bridges between a company’s development and operations. They perform functions and on-call duties and develop the systems and software that bolster site reliability and performance. They build self-service tools for user groups that provide automation and rely on their services, including automatic system provisioning, automated product upgrades and statistical visualizations.
SREs strive to create services that reduce the amount of work in progress for all parties, allowing developers to focus on feature development. They collaborate with product developers to ensure designed solutions respond to non-functional requirements including security and maintainability and work with release engineers to confirm that software delivery pipelines are as efficient as possible.
CentralSquare Technologies is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
