We merge the power of our proprietary, high-resolution weather radar and satellite network with advanced weather prediction modelling and decades of industry expertise to reduce existing coverage gaps and drastically improve forecasting ability. Our revolutionary new approach to climate technology weather solutions is poised to help reduce the economic risks of climate change on companies, governments, and societies alike. We are backed by The Rise Fund, the world’s largest global impact platform committed to achieving measurable, positive social and environmental outcomes alongside competitive financial returns. Climavision is headquartered in Louisville, KY, with research and development operations in Raleigh, NC.\n\nThe Work\nAre you an experienced Site Reliability Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and production operations? Do you take pride in keeping mission-critical customer systems reliable under real-world operational pressure? Are you looking for an opportunity to own production reliability for a modern hybrid infrastructure platform spanning cloud, colocation, and edge environments?\nIf so, we have an exceptional opportunity for you.\nClimavision is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to contribute towards reliability, operational excellence, and production resilience across the company's platform and data services. This role sits on a shared SRE team that supports the full business rather than a single product line, covering both the radar network and the weather intelligence sides of the company as priorities shift. A central focus of this role is building the observability layer that puts the health of the full fleet in one place, and then automating recovery so that systems heal themselves. Multi-cluster and multi-replica high availability across our distributed edge fleet remains a core part of the work.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role for someone who is equally comfortable troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters, leading incident response, and improving operational maturity across the organization. The successful candidate will combine deep production operations expertise with a disciplined approach to reliability engineering and strong automation skills.\nClimavision operates a hybrid infrastructure footprint spanning Microsoft Azure, colocation data centers, and edge Kubernetes clusters, deployed alongside weather radar systems. This role will drive production reliability across Azure, colocation, and edge environments. Right-sizing cluster resources and migrating workloads off Azure to reduce spend are active priorities for the team.\n35% Kubernetes Platform Reliability and Operations\n30% Production Reliability Engineering and Incident Response\n20% Observability, Monitoring, and Alerting\n15% Automation, Recovery, and Cost Optimization\n\nPrimary Responsibilities:\nOwn production reliability for Climavision's customer-facing platform and data services across Azure, colocation, and edge Kubernetes environments.\nWork as part of a shared SRE function supporting the whole company rather than a single product line, taking on work across both the radar network and the weather intelligence sides of the business as priorities shift.\nContribute to the definition and improvement of SLIs, SLOs, alerting standards, and operational metrics used to measure platform reliability.\nBuild and own the observability layer for the fleet. Today the underlying metrics exist but are only reachable from the command line inside each cluster. This role is responsible for surfacing that data in shared dashboards and building the alerting that tells the team something is going wrong before a customer does.\nDesign and build automated recovery and self-healing for production systems, so that common failure modes are detected and remediated without human intervention.\nOptimize cluster resourcing and cost, including right-sizing workloads and nodes and supporting the migration of workloads off Azure to reduce spend.\nSupport and coordinate production incident response efforts, including troubleshooting, mitigation, communication, and postmortem analysis.\nDiagnose and resolve complex production issues across application services, Kubernetes infrastructure, storage, and distributed systems.\nDrive multi-replica and multi-cluster high availability across Climavision's services, including workload placement, scheduling, and deployment patterns that allow services to run safely as multiple replicas across multiple clusters.\nContribute to the multi-cluster high-availability strategy across Climavision's hybrid fleet, including active-active and active-passive failover behavior, traffic routing, data replication considerations, and graceful degradation when a cluster becomes unavailable.\nOperate and improve Climavision's self-managed Kubernetes platform spanning cloud-hosted, colocation, and edge clusters, with a focus on availability, resiliency, recovery, and operational performance.\nEnsure Kubernetes platform lifecycle activities including upgrades, patching, cluster health, node management, and production change management are executed in a manner that preserves service availability and minimizes customer-facing risk.\nImprove reliability and operational maturity of production platform services, including observability, autoscaling, ingress, and distributed storage. Partner with the teams responsible for the underlying networking and security primitives rather than owning those areas directly.\nDesign and validate Kubernetes workloads for resiliency, scalability, and operational efficiency, including autoscaling behavior, workload placement, resource management, and graceful degradation strategies.\nPartner with software engineering teams across the company to improve production readiness, resiliency patterns, deployment safety, and operational visibility before services reach production.\nMaintain and improve deployment pipelines, Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and infrastructure automation supporting safe and repeatable production releases.\nSupport and evolve Climavision's observability platform, including metrics, logging, distributed tracing, dashboarding, and alerting.\nConduct performance engineering and capacity-planning efforts for customer-facing services during peak weather-event demand.\nHelp facilitate blameless postmortem reviews and drive operational follow-up items through completion.\nImprove disaster recovery, failover, and business continuity capabilities across cloud, colocation, and edge environments.\nDrive operational excellence initiatives, including automation, reduction of operational toil, game days, production readiness reviews, and reliability best practices.\nContribute as a senior technical resource and mentor on reliability engineering and production operations practices.\n\nOn-Call Expectation:\nClimavision operates customer-facing production systems under contractual SLAs that do not pause outside business hours. The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will participate in a rotating on-call schedule made up of two separate rotations:\nA weekday rotation. The engineer on a weekday shift is the first point of contact for production incidents and for engineering teams needing support during the business week.\nA separate weekend rotation, so that the engineer carrying weekday support is not also carrying the weekend.\nAt current and planned team size, engineers can expect a weekday shift roughly every five weeks and a weekend shift roughly every five weeks. The two are scheduled as far apart from each other as the rotation allows, so that a weekday shift and a weekend shift do not fall close together.\n\nQualifications\nA bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field; equivalent professional experience considered.\nMinimum of 7 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Production Engineering, Platform Engineering, or a related infrastructure-focused role, with at least 4 years in a role formally titled Site Reliability Engineer or carrying explicit SLO / error-budget accountability.\nDeep, hands-on experience operating native Kubernetes. Managed distributions such as AKS and EKS are acceptable, but experience running native or self-managed Kubernetes is strongly preferred and is the primary technical requirement for this role.\nDemonstrated experience optimizing Kubernetes clusters, including right-sizing workloads and node pools, resource management, and reducing infrastructure cost without sacrificing reliability. Be prepared to walk through a specific cluster optimization project you led.\nDemonstrated experience increasing operational visibility, including building dashboards, metrics pipelines, and alerting in an environment where little or none existed before.\nExperience designing and operating workloads for safe horizontal scaling across multiple replicas, including idempotency, concurrency, and state handling considerations.\nExperience designing or operating multi-cluster high-availability architectures, including failover behavior, traffic routing, and cross-cluster service deployment.\nExperience supporting customer-facing production systems with uptime, reliability, and incident-response responsibilities.\nExperience diagnosing and resolving production incidents across application, platform and Kubernetes infrastructure layers, including workload scheduling, storage, ingress, and cluster-level failures.\nExperience operating Kubernetes outside of strictly managed cloud environments, including bare-metal, colocation, edge, or hybrid infrastructure.\nExperience with Kubernetes operational tooling and ecosystem technologies such as Rancher, Helm, autoscaling frameworks, observability stacks, or distributed storage systems.\nStrong understanding of infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code concepts using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.\nExperience supporting CI/CD and production deployment pipelines. GitHub Actions is used for CI/CD at Climavision.\nExperience with monitoring, logging, and observability platforms such as DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, or comparable technologies.\nExperience operating distributed systems and microservice-based architectures in production environments.\nWorking knowledge of Microsoft Azure infrastructure.\nStrong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, application, and platform layers.\nDemonstrated experience participating in a structured production on-call rotation supporting business-critical systems.\nWorking familiarity with Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft Entra, which the team uses day to day for ticketing, documentation, and authentication.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including incident documentation and postmortem authoring.\nExperience working in start-up, scale-up, or other fast-moving engineering environments, and comfort with the pace and ambiguity that comes with them.\n\nNice to have, but not required:\nExperience operating Kubernetes platforms using RKE2 and Rancher, which is how Climavision manages its clusters.\nExperience with Octopus Deploy.\nExperience with SOC 2 or comparable security auditing and compliance work.\nExperience supporting hybrid cloud and colocation infrastructure environments.\nExperience with service mesh technologies such as Istio.\nExperience with Kubernetes-native storage platforms such as Longhorn.\nExperience operating PostgreSQL or PostGIS in Kubernetes environments.\nExperience with distributed messaging systems such as RabbitMQ or NATS.\nExperience supporting GPU-enabled workloads in Kubernetes.\nFamiliarity with reliability engineering practices, including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and operational maturity metrics.\n\nPhysical Demands & Work Environment:\nThis is a full-time, exempt position\nFully Remote -
