Site Reliability Engineer (Secret Clearance)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)2 rolesType: Full-TimeLocation: Huntsville, AL or Dayton, OHStart Date: On or after June 5th, 2026Senior SRE roles own the reliability of systems they don't write. They bring the experience to spend most of their time preventing fires rather than fighting them. They remain in the on-call rotation and are effective incident responders, but their primary contribution is the foundational work that raises the reliability floor for everyone. Working primarily with: Kubernetes infrastructure, GitOps patterns, progressive delivery, rollback automation, capacity planning, and disaster recovery (DR) strategy. Senior SREs are less focused on keeping platforms running and more focused on resilience and reliability outcomes - building the internal capability that lets SREs and dev teams ship with confidence. Their success is measured by the same standard, at a higher bar: most of their time is in planned, high-leverage work.Required Qualifications3 or more years of experience in Operations, Sys Admin, DevOps, or Software engineeringBachelor's Degree in CS, Computer Engineering, or related technical fieldUS CitizenshipMust have or be able to obtain a Top Secret Clearence Systems thinking - understanding how systems fail together, blast radius, and moreObservability Fundamentals - not just the 3 signals, but knowing why and how to use telemetry to optimize services and engineering quality of lifeSoftware engineering - building automation & non-trivial APIs, git workflows, leading code reviewsLinux/networking fundamentalsStrong Communication, Collaboration, and Organizational SkillsSpecialty Skills: (2 or more)Platform & Infrastructure - Kubernetes, ArgoCD/GitOps, DR, capacity planningObservability - OTel standards, Grafana/Perses, Tempo, Clickhouse, VictoriaMetricsAutomation & Toil Reduction - scripting, CI/CD, runbook automation, "DevOps"Developer Enablement - instrumentation SDKs, SRE practice onboardingData & Alerting - dashboard quality, alert design, anomaly detectionDesired QualificationsSRE Certifications from The DevOps Institute, AWS Solution Architect, or similarHands-on experience with: Python, Go, Kubernetes, Argo CD, GitLab/GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, Locust/Gatling, Prometheus, Grafana/PersesEqual Opportunity EmployerThis employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws.
