About this role
We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer with up to 4 years of experience to own and build critical cloud infrastructure at an early-stage company working with cutting-edge aerospace, defense, and manufacturing customers. You'll be the first dedicated SRE on the team – designing, scaling, and automating systems with high agency and full end-to-end ownership. This is a greenfield opportunity to architect the path from AWS to on-prem deployments, support customer cloud environments, and improve observability across the platform. You should be a quick learner who thrives in restricted, regulated environments and is excited to make tough architectural decisions independently.
What you will be doing
Owning infrastructure end-to-end – designing, building, and scaling cloud and on-prem systems as the sole SRE
Architecting the migration path from AWS to on-prem and air-gapped environments for defense and federal customers
Deploying and supporting customer-specific cloud environments, ensuring the platform runs reliably across multiple tenants
Building observability and monitoring to improve signal from existing infrastructure and drive proactive reliability
Automating and improving current CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code practices, and deployment workflows
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
Culture & values
High-trust, high-agency environment where people are given real ownership
Trust employees to use their judgment, move quickly, and take responsibility for outcomes
Culture of stepping up and solving problems in front of the team
Challenge each other openly
Adapt quickly as a team
High bar held for themselves and the team
Deep-rooted culture of people who genuinely care about the mission and each other
Know someone who'd be great for this?
