This is a role for someone who takes pride in operational excellence, enjoys working across a broad technology stack, and wants to grow their skills in both cloud infrastructure and reliability engineering.

  • Support Lingo's SRE practice by contributing to SLO and SLI definitions, building and maintaining alerting rules, and participating in on-call rotations as part of a shared 24x7 operational coverage model.

  • Monitor, triage, and respond to platform and infrastructure incidents, contributing to root cause analysis and implementing remediations that prevent recurrence.

  • Build and maintain observability tooling across Lingo's production environment, including dashboards, log pipelines, distributed tracing integrations, and metrics collection for platform and application services.

  • Implement and maintain cloud security controls in collaboration with the Security team, including identity and access management, network security configurations, and compliance tooling for HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI requirements.

  • Contribute to disaster recovery and backup processes, ensuring Lingo's production systems can be restored reliably and within committed recovery time objectives.

  • Partner with product and feature engineering teams to support their deployment needs, onboard them to platform tooling, and reduce friction in the path from development to production.

  • Document infrastructure, runbooks, deployment procedures, and operational processes in a way that supports knowledge sharing across a globally distributed team.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering with hands-on work in a production environment.

  • Working knowledge of Azure cloud services, with practical experience provisioning and managing infrastructure across Azure compute, networking, storage, and identity services.

  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling, preferably Terraform or Bicep, including writing, reviewing, and maintaining reusable modules in a team environment.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline design and operation, including experience building or maintaining pipelines in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent tools.

  • Understanding of SRE principles including SLOs, alerting, on-call practices, and incident response workflows.

  • Experience with observability tooling for monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing in a cloud-native environment.

  • Basic understanding of cloud security practices, including identity and access management, network security groups, and secrets management.

  • Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams across multiple time zones.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting IoT, biosensor, or real-time data platforms where operational reliability is critical.

  • Exposure to SRE practices including error budget management, post-incident review processes, and toil reduction.
