The Role: Lead SRE – Java Focused
We are seeking a hands-on SRE to act as an evangelist for continuous integration, testing, and safe, automated deployments. This is a practitioner role—not a manager role. You'll embed with development teams to solve their hardest reliability and deployment challenges, making change safe and boring for them.
What You'll Do:
- Automate Everything: Upgrade applications to supported runtimes (Java or NPM), containerize apps, implement continuous library updates with Renovate
- Test to Deploy: Source test data, implement data masking, run smoke tests as part of deployment
- Embed Reliability: Introduce observability patterns, overhaul logging, implement hot-hot cross-datacenter topologies
- Secure by Design: Implement secrets management, authentication, authorization, and secure coding patterns
- Simplify Deployment: Automate database changes with Liquibase, infrastructure with Ansible
- Unblock Teams: Conduct targeted engagements with teams struggling with release cadence or vulnerability resolution
What You Bring:
- Several years of experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) using multiple test frameworks.
- Deep understanding of different automation testing approaches and ability to choose the best approach—with AI support.
- Proficiency in JVM languages (Java)
- Highest quality coding skills and build automation experience (Gradle, Maven, npm).
- Excellent understanding of safe practices for critical systems, including deployment architecture and observability.
- At home with multiple CI/CD systems and actively embracing AI coding tools.
- Competent with Docker, OpenShift, and (RedHat) Linux.
- Excellent understanding of secure coding practices.
- Advantageous: Spring framework and Ansible skills.
Location: This role is hybrid-based in the following locations:
- New York, NY
- NJ
- Irving, TX
- Tampa, FL
- Jacksonville, FL
