About the role

Senior Site Reliability Engineer responsible for measuring and improving the reliability, performance, and scalability of Parabola’s core systems, with on-call duties and involvement across performance, security & compliance, and foundational architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Monitoring our core business-logic software, both via on-call and in non-urgent situations: describing its existing behavior and defining SLOs or SLAs that get us (you and we) to respond.
  • Extending and monitoring our infrastructure stack.
  • Maintaining both a mental and a reified model of our systems: from this model, estimating risk, planning projects, and debugging efficiently.
  • Collaborating with our engineering team and company leadership from your unique lens on site reliability — being vocal and clear in your expertise in this specialization
  • Working on our core orchestration logic that determines how to efficiently run tens of thousands of workflows at the same time - we recently rebuilt our orchestrator on top of Temporal and we love it!
  • Advising many parallel major backend engineering projects, both early in planning and through release.
  • Optimizing our services for scalability, stability, and observability as our customer base grows and our product becomes more sophisticated.
  • Improving our developer experience in tactical ways, and improving our overall engineering processes and practices more broadly, especially given the opportunities & pressures of LLM coding agents.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of SRE, DevOps, or Platform engineering experience
  • A proven record of building efficient, performant, and easy to extend systems.
  • Has maintained quantitative metrics of site reliability, while also demonstrating judgment about appropriate strictness for SLOs & SLAs.
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and how they interact with backend services, and with Linux
  • Experience implementing and managing AWS infrastructure
  • You’re not afraid to ask for help, and you’re happy to give it, too.
  • You’re an enthusiastic communicator and you like working with a team that provides both mutual support and thoughtful critique.
  • You're excited to join a hybrid team and work out of our NYC or SF office ~3 days a week.
