Company website
Satine Technologies is looking for a Sr Staff Site Reliability Engineer to lead platform reliability and infrastructure engineering for a mission-critical program. You'll set the technical direction for how systems are built, deployed, and operated - not just execute against someone else's architecture. This is a hands-on IC role, not a management position. We're looking for someone who still wants to be close to the code. No government or federal contracting experience required. If you've built and operated reliable systems at scale in the private sector, you have the foundation we're looking for. We'll bring the mission context. This is a contingent position - employment is subject to contract award and funding. Public Trust eligibility required (US citizenship or LPR).
About Satine Technologies
Description
About the Role
You'll own the reliability posture of a large-scale healthcare platform. That means infrastructure design, deployment pipelines, observability, incident response, and the hard conversations about when something isn't production-ready. You'll work alongside software engineers and security engineers who are building real capabilities - your job is to make sure what they build actually runs.
This isn't a ticket-queue SRE role. At this level, we expect you to define what good looks like and pull the team toward it.
What You'll Do
- Design and own the infrastructure architecture for a cloud environment: multi-region, high-availability, built for real operational load
- Set reliability standards: SLOs, error budgets, incident response playbooks, runbooks
- Lead the observability practice - define what gets measured, how, and what gets done about it
- Own CI/CD pipeline architecture and deployment strategy across environments
- Be the senior technical voice in design reviews when reliability, scalability, or operational risk is on the table
- Mentor Staff-level engineers - raise the floor on how the team builds and operates systems
- Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response for platform issues
- Partner with security engineers to ensure infrastructure meets security and compliance requirements without making the platform slow to ship
What We're Looking For
Required:
- 10+ years of SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering experience
- Expert-level Kubernetes - you've designed and operated production clusters, not just deployed to them
- Deep Terraform and infrastructure-as-code experience at scale
- Strong CI/CD pipeline design and implementation experience
- Experience operating production systems in a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- US citizenship or Lawful Permanent Resident status (Public Trust eligibility required)
Paths In - You Might Be a Fit If You:
- Have been the most senior SRE on a team and found yourself setting architecture direction, not just executing on it
- Come from a hyperscaler, high-growth startup, or product company and want to apply that scale experience to systems where the stakes are higher than uptime SLAs
- Have been carrying a team's platform reliability on your back informally and want a title and scope that match what you're actually doing
- Are a strong infrastructure engineer who wants to work on something more meaningful than the next product sprint
Helpful but Not Required:
- Experience with Kafka, Prisma, or event-driven microservices architectures
- Familiarity with security or compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, or similar)
- Experience mentoring or technically leading a distributed engineering team
- Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or similar observability stack experience
