This role offers the opportunity to design, improve, and operate highly scalable cloud infrastructure supporting a global technology platform.
You will work at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure, helping build reliable systems that handle billions of daily requests.
The position requires strong technical expertise, a problem-solving mindset, and a passion for automation, performance, and operational excellence.
You will collaborate with engineering teams to strengthen platform reliability, improve observability, and develop solutions that support long-term scalability.
The ideal candidate thrives in complex environments, enjoys solving challenging infrastructure problems, and takes ownership of critical systems.
This is a hands-on engineering role where your contributions will directly impact platform stability, efficiency, and customer experience.

Accountabilities:

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will be responsible for improving the reliability, scalability, and performance of complex cloud-based systems. This role combines infrastructure engineering, software development, automation, and operational leadership to ensure highly available services and continuous platform improvement.

  • Develop and improve infrastructure tooling and automation to reduce manual processes, increase efficiency, and minimize operational risks.
  • Build, maintain, and support critical applications and platform services.
  • Monitor systems for capacity, availability, and performance while proactively identifying and resolving technical issues.
  • Collaborate with engineering and SRE teams to ensure reliable delivery of services to customers.
  • Analyze system weaknesses, identify improvement opportunities, and implement solutions to strengthen platform resilience.
  • Design and maintain observability solutions, monitoring frameworks, and performance tracking systems.
  • Improve monitoring, alerting, incident response processes, and operational documentation.
  • Participate in on-call rotations, troubleshoot production issues, and create effective runbooks for incident management.
  • Contribute to technical strategies that support platform growth, scalability, and long-term reliability.
  • Support best practices around cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Requirements:

    The ideal candidate is an experienced infrastructure and software engineer with a strong background in building reliable, scalable systems. You should have hands-on experience with cloud platforms, automation, observability, and modern infrastructure technologies, along with the ability to operate effectively in a collaborative engineering environment.

    • 4+ years of experience as a Site Reliability Engineer, Software Engineer, or similar role focused on scalable and resilient services.
    • Strong experience designing, building, and maintaining cloud-based infrastructure using platforms such as AWS or GCP.
    • Experience creating automation tools and improving operational efficiency through engineering solutions.
    • Solid understanding of observability platforms, monitoring strategies, and service-level objectives (SLOs).
    • Experience with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Thanos, or similar monitoring technologies.
    • Experience operating production systems in an on-call environment and improving incident response processes.
    • Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, with Terraform knowledge considered a major advantage.
    • Hands-on Kubernetes experience, including cluster operations, multi-tenancy strategies, and container orchestration best practices.
    • Proficiency with one or more programming languages such as Node.js, Go, Ruby, Python, and experience with shell scripting.
    • Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills.
    • Ability to work independently, identify technical challenges, and drive improvements proactively.
    • Benefits:

      • Competitive salary range of approximately CAD $140,000–$182,000 per year, with potential additional bonus opportunities depending on the role offered.
      • Comprehensive medical, financial, and additional benefits package.
      • Fully remote work flexibility within Canada.
      • Opportunity to work on large-scale cloud infrastructure supporting billions of daily requests.
      • Exposure to advanced technologies across cloud platforms, automation, observability, and AI-driven systems.
      • Collaborative environment with experienced engineering teams and opportunities for technical growth.
      • Opportunity to influence platform architecture, reliability strategies, and engineering best practices.
      • Inclusive workplace culture focused on diversity, collaboration, and professional development.
