Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure roles, with 2+ years in a technical leadership or principal capacity
- Deep expertise with Kubernetes internals (controllers, networking, autoscaling, operators, etc.) and production-grade clusters on cloud providers (EKS, GKE, or AKS)
- Proven experience designing and scaling CI/CD systems using tools such as GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Tekton, Spinnaker, or similar
- Strong proficiency in Terraform and modern IaC practices
- Advanced knowledge of automated testing strategies, including performance, load, and failure testing
- Proficient in one or more programming/scripting languages (Python, Go, Bash, etc.)
- Deep experience with monitoring and observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog
- Strong communicator with the ability to align technical initiatives to business objectives and influence across engineering teams
Desirable
- Experience implementing multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes strategies
- Exposure to chaos engineering and building resilient distributed systems
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.) as they relate to infrastructure and deployment
- Contributions to open-source Kubernetes tooling or SRE frameworks
- Familiarity with JVM- or Node-based application stacks
What the job involves
- As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a strategic and technical leadership role in shaping the reliability, scalability, and velocity of our engineering platform
- Your primary focus will be advancing our Kubernetes-based infrastructure and CI/CD systems to support high-scale, high-availability services
- You will partner with engineering leaders across the organization to define and drive platform-wide initiatives that enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments, and foster a culture of reliability and operational excellence
- Lead the design and evolution of Kubernetes-based infrastructure to support multi-tenant, high-scale applications with strong isolation, resilience, and security
- Architect and optimize CI/CD pipelines to support fast and reliable build, test, and deploy cycles across a polyglot environment
- Establish and evangelize best practices for GitOps, canary deployments, rollback strategies, and progressive delivery
- Define and implement scalable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns using tools such as Terraform, Helm, and Crossplane
- Drive the adoption of automated testing throughout the delivery lifecycle—unit, integration, load, and chaos testing—to ensure high confidence in production changes
- Guide teams in designing for observability, SLOs, and alerting, ensuring actionable signals and minimizing alert fatigue
- Partner with security, compliance, and development teams to ensure infrastructure and delivery systems meet modern security and governance standards
- Lead incident response retrospectives and foster a blameless culture of continuous improvement
- Mentor and influence senior engineers across multiple teams, helping to up-level platform reliability capabilities organization-wide
Our take
Organizations understand the value of data and the value of business partnerships that will help them leverage it. However, involving more companies increases the risk of vulnerabilities, and therefore costly data breaches. SecurityScorecard is a cloud-based enterprise SaaS solution that helps organizations assess and manage cybersecurity risks, offering analyses of potential partner companies using A-F security ratings.
SecurityScorecard looms over its competitors as it covers millions of companies, offering near-instant cybersecurity analyses and an array of capabilities. It has a large, global, and big-name customer base, including 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies and 9 of the top 10 banking institutions, and it is likely to go public in the next few years.
It has both developed and consolidated an impressive lead in a sector that will continue growing and rewarding cutting-edge security solutions. It looks set to remain an industry leader with demonstrable, accessible, and highly attractive customer offerings. In 2024, this included a supply chain cyber risk management platform - MAX - which is driving record revenue.
