Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

We’re looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to help build and scale a high-impact SRE function. You’ll be a technical leader on a team responsible for improving system reliability, reducing operational toil, and establishing best practices across engineering. In this position, you’ll design how reliability works in UJET, influence engineering decisions, and build the tooling and processes that make production safer and more predictable. This is an early position in the company's SRE function. You will have direct input into how reliability standards and practices are established, which forms the foundation on which product engineering builds.

Responsibilities

Lead efforts to improve system reliability, scalability, and performance across critical services; Define and implement SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, and use them to guide engineering priorities; Design and develop observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) that produce actionable alerts and data; Lead complex incident response, acting as incident commander when needed; Conduct postmortems focused on systemic causes rather than individual fault, and ensure corrective actions from those reviews are completed; Identify and eliminate toil through automation, tooling, and improved workflows; Partner with product and platform teams on architecture decisions, production readiness, and designing systems that recover from failure; Build reusable systems and “paved roads” that make it easier for teams to operate their services reliably; Mentor other engineers and raise the overall operational maturity of the organization

Requirements

Must be a South Korean citizen or currently reside in South Korea with a valid work visa; Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the country in which this position is located, without the need for current or future employer-sponsored visa sponsorship; 6-10+ years of experience in SRE, infrastructure, or backend systems engineering; Demonstrated experience of owning reliability outcomes for complex, distributed systems; Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and production-scale systems; Deep understanding of observability, incident management, and system performance; Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Java) with a focus on automation and tooling; Able to change how other teams work without having managerial authority over them; Strong competency in making clear decisions during incidents by following a defined process without reacting emotionally.

Nice to have
