Senior Site Reliability Engineer (AWS)

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day administration across AWS services, accounts, and access, as well as database administration across PostgreSQL and our other data stores.
• Own backup posture across databases, S3 buckets, and queues; verify restores regularly and maintain a tested disaster recovery plan.
• Proactively monitor production — CloudWatch dashboards, metric alarms, log-based metrics, and Slack alerting — addressing operational issues before they impact users.
• Lead production debugging and incident response: build and maintain runbooks, participate in the on-call rotation, and resolve queue and dead-letter-queue failures through retry, redrive, and recovery.
• Continuously refine our infrastructure to ensure it is easily deployable and scalable: keep infrastructure as code (SST/Pulumi) accurate, retire unused infrastructure, and keep cost visible and justified.
• Share your knowledge of production operations with the team, fostering a culture of learning and growth.
