This critical position focuses on maintaining the availability, performance, and scalability of a mission-critical Azure-hosted platform serving thousands of financial professionals nationwide.

As an individual contributor, you’ll leverage your growing expertise in cloud infrastructure, automation, and observability to improve and support platform reliability. You’ll work hand-in-hand with Agile development teams, integrating reliability practices throughout the application lifecycle and driving meaningful improvements.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex infrastructure challenges and enjoys working with cutting-edge cloud technologies.

This is an FTE Direct hire opportunity. You will be working onsite with the team in Austin, Texas!

  • Enhance Observability: Define and refine SLIs/SLOs, configure monitoring, logging, and alerts using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics (KQL).
  • Automation & Tooling: Eliminate manual processes by developing automation scripts and tools using PowerShell, Bash, Python, and optionally C#/.NET.
  • Incident Management: Take part in a rotating on-call schedule, leading incident resolution, root cause analysis, and implementing post-incident improvements.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with developers, QA, and tech teams throughout the SDLC to ensure performance and reliability goals are met.
  • Capacity & Performance: Contribute to system load testing, performance tuning, and capacity planning, especially within a .NET/React microservices architecture.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain system documentation, runbooks, FAQs, and mentor peers in SRE practices.
  • Integration Support: Troubleshoot API integrations, SSO setups, and secure file transfer protocols.
  • Continuous Improvement: Contribute ideas and solutions to improve automation, cost efficiency, security posture, and reliability processes.

What you need to be successful in this role:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, including IaaS and PaaS (networking, compute, storage, databases, messaging, security).
  • Deep knowledge of Azure observability tools and KQL for metrics/log analysis.
  • Proficient in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
  • Experience with CI/CD practices and tools (preferably Azure DevOps).
  • Solid understanding of Git workflows and platforms (e.g., Azure Repos, GitHub).
  • Strong foundation in networking concepts (DNS, TLS, firewalls, etc.).
  • Skilled in diagnosing complex, distributed system issues.
  • Strong communicator with collaborative mindset; effective independently or in a team.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and Scrum practices
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 2–5 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Systems Administration, or a related field with operational focus.
  • Prior experience supporting production systems in Azure is strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to implement observability practices and contribute to on-call operations.
  • Track record of successful automation and operational improvement.
  • Background in financial services or other regulated industries is a plus.

Certifications (Preferred but not required)
