About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to lead the evolution of Tabs’ platform as we scale. In this role, you’ll operate as a senior individual contributor, partnering closely with engineering and product teams to design, build, and operate systems that are reliable, observable, and easy to develop on.

You’ll own our infrastructure direction, shape how we ship software, and set the standard for operational excellence across the company. This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys solving complex systems problems, influencing architecture, and raising the reliability bar without becoming a gatekeeper.

What You’ll Own

AWS infrastructure direction and platform evolution, including the migration from ECS/Fargate toward a more modern, scalable runtime

CI/CD systems with a strong emphasis on developer experience, safety, and automation (GitHub Actions today; maturing CD tomorrow)

Ephemeral environments and preview deploys to speed iteration and increase confidence in changes

Observability standards across metrics, logs, and tracing, including alert hygiene, dashboards, and SLO development

Incident response, postmortems, and the reliability culture that surrounds them

What You’ll Do

Define and evolve reliability standards, SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets

Improve observability, alerting, and incident processes across services

Lead high-severity incidents and drive clear, actionable follow-ups

Partner with engineering teams to design resilient, scalable systems

Build automation to reduce toil and lower operational risk

Mentor engineers and influence best practices across teams

Who You Are

You’ve run production systems on AWS and can lead platform-level change

You think in systems: risk, rollback strategy, blast radius, and feedback loops

You treat CI/CD and environments as products that should be fast, reliable, and self-serve

You influence through trust and clarity rather than control

You balance pragmatism with long-term system health

You value learning from failure and improving processes over assigning blame

You communicate clearly and work well across teams

Experience

10+ years in SRE, infrastructure, or backend engineering roles

Strong software engineering experience in one or more modern languages

Expertise operating distributed systems in production at scale

Deep experience with AWS, observability tooling, and CI/CD systems

Comfortable navigating ambiguity and setting direction in a fast-moving environment

Additional Information

This role is based onsite in our Soho office in New York City

Perks and Benefits (Full-time Employees)

Competitive compensation and equity

Unlimited PTO

Up to 100% employer covered monthly healthcare premium (medical, dental, vision)

Lunch provided via Sharebite, plus dinner for any later in office days.

Parental leave up to 12 weeks

Tax free commuter and parking benefits

Voluntary insurances (Life, Hospital, Critical Illness, Accident)

Employee Assistance Program (Rightway)

Free One Medical Membership
