Full Job Description
About the job Senior Site Reliability Engineer

About the Role

You will own the infrastructure that powers our factories-cloud, edge, and the networks that connect them. You keep systems available, secure, and fast. You're as comfortable architecting zero-trust environments as you are on the factory floor troubleshooting a network switch. This role wears a lot of hats: network architecture, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, security, and whatever else it takes to keep production running.

Base Qualifications
  • Expert in Kubernetes and managing workloads across cloud (AWS/GCP) and on-premise edge servers.
  • Experience with Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of VLANs, VPNs (Tailscale/Wireguard), firewalls, and isolating industrial networks from the internet.
  • Experience with zero-trust principles, identity management (Okta/Auth0), and secure access tunnels.
  • Experience standing up monitoring and alerting tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager) and building dashboards that give teams visibility into system health.
  • Ability to self-direct and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience securing endpoints and devices (MDM, MFA, encryption best practices).
  • Experience scaling and monitoring CI/CD systems.
  • Willingness to handle general IT admin (device setup, workspace configuration) in the early days before automating or delegating it.


Why Join

  • You are employee #1-5 in the software org. You define the tech stack and the culture.
  • The role evolves as we do. Lots of room to grow into leadership, go deep technically, or help spin up new teams as we scale.
  • You'll use the latest tools and work with a team that wants to continuously improve.
  • We take risks and spend where it counts. The best idea wins.


Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary + significant early-stage equity.
  • Unlimited PTO: We trust you to manage your time and take the breaks you need to stay productive and healthy.
  • Paid parental leave: Support for new parents during this important life transition.
  • We cover 100% of employees premiums and 80% of your family's premiums through industry-leading medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.

This role is based on-site in Cincinnati, OH and is not open to remote work.
