Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Senior Site Reliability Engineer — AWS / EKS / Istio / IaC

<<< 100% remote / Full time / English CV only / LATAM >>>

We're looking for a senior, hands-on SRE to improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of a cloud platform running on AWS and Kubernetes — embedded full-time with a US engineering team. This is a build-and-own role, not a coordination seat.

What you'll do

• Design, maintain, and improve AWS infrastructure
• Operate and harden Kubernetes on Amazon EKS and manage Istio service mesh
• Provision infrastructure as code with OpenTofu / Terraform (reusable modules, state management, environment separation)
• Define SLIs, SLOs, dashboards, and alerting; improve uptime and incident detection
• Review and improve CI/CD and build pipelines for reliability, speed, and developer feedback loops
• Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted capabilities into CI/CD, testing, code review, and build workflows
• Lead incident investigation and root-cause analysis; write the runbooks the support team relies on

What we're looking for

• Strong commercial experience as an SRE, DevOps, Platform, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
• Advanced hands-on AWS and strong production Amazon EKS
• Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting at a senior level
• Production experience with Istio or a comparable service mesh
• Hands-on OpenTofu or Terraform with mature IaC practices
• Real depth in monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability
• Strong grasp of cloud networking, load balancing, DNS, certificates, IAM, and secrets management
• Strong scripting/automation and strong written and spoken English

Nice to have

Datadog, AI-assisted tooling in engineering workflows, event-driven / distributed architectures, multi-tenant SaaS, and healthcare or other regulated-software experience.

📍 Nearshore, South America preferred · Full-time · US-hours overlap

• This is a senior role for someone who can assess infrastructure independently, propose practical improvements, and ship them in production.

Benefits

• Opportunities to work on diverse and challenging projects
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
• 12 vacation days per year
• 5 sick days per year
• English classes
• Access to therapist and psychologist support for mental well-being
