Job Details

Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Red River is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to develop, scale, and operate our OpenShift managed cloud services. OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes distribution. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer you will contribute to running OpenShift at scale by enabling customer self-service, enhancing our monitoring system, and eliminating work through automation.

At Red River, teamwork and openness drive success. Our global team cultivates a transparent environment that welcomes diverse voices. We learn from our failures in a blameless environment to continuously improve and grow together.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI within development workflows.

What You Will Bring

A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred, though hands-on SRE experience may substitute. Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Golang, Java, C, C++, or similar) and experience with public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) are required. Experience with SaaS/PaaS, distributed systems, Kubernetes/OpenShift, Unix/Linux, and configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef) is highly valued.

Desired Skills

  • 5+ years managing Linux servers on cloud platforms.
  • 3+ years with enterprise systems monitoring and configuration management.
  • 2+ years programming in an object-oriented language, preferably Golang, Java, or Python.
