Job Description

STAND 8 provides end to end IT solutions to enterprise partners across the United States and with offices in Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, and more; including internationally in Mexico and India.

Overview
We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with a true software engineering background. This is not a systems administrator role - we're looking for someone who approaches reliability through code, automation, and engineering best practices. The ideal candidate comes from a full-stack development background and has transitioned into operations, with a strong passion for building, coding, and solving complex problems at scale.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable, and high-performance systems in a Kubernetes-based environment.
• Write production-quality code to improve observability, automation, and system resilience.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure services are designed for reliability and scalability from the ground up.
• Drive best practices in monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, and incident response.
• Partner with developers to identify and resolve performance, availability, and scalability issues.

What We're Looking For

• Strong background as a software engineer (experience writing production code is essential).
• Experience in full-stack development with a desire to focus on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and how to operate effectively within containerized environments.
• Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and applying creative problem-solving - someone with an "engineer's spark."
• Passion for coding - whether it's Golang, Rust, Python, Java, or another language - as long as you've built production-grade systems, you can learn Golang here.
• Bonus: personal projects, open-source contributions, or demonstrable side work that shows genuine curiosity and technical passion.
