You’ll own making sure that doesn’t happen: uptime, performance and how we respond when something breaks.\nYou’ll work across our contractor and supplier products. The architecture that got us here now carries heavier workloads, enterprise SLAs and AI agents working in the background. Your job is to make it hold as we keep growing fast. We expect you to do this with AI: agents and automation should handle the repetitive operational work, so one SRE can cover what used to take a team.\nWhat you'll do\nDefine and track our core reliability metrics and SLOs, report them to the company every week, and act when they slip.\nMake production observable in Datadog, so we catch problems before customers do.\nCut alert noise and set clear escalation paths.\nRun incident response and on-call. You’ll carry the rotation and part of the job is making it sustainable.\nLead root-cause analysis and see the fixes through.\nRemove bottlenecks across Kubernetes, our databases and heavy data workloads, and make sure backups and recovery are tested.\nUse AI to automate the work: alert triage, incident investigation, runbooks and routine operations.\nKeep improving through experiments: form a hypothesis, test it on a small slice, measure, and keep what works.\nWork with engineers so new services ship observable and resilient by default.\nAbout You\nYou’ve owned a production system under real load and can walk us through an incident you led and what changed afterwards.\n3+ years in SRE, infrastructure or backend engineering.\nStrong experience running Kubernetes on AWS, with infrastructure as code. We use tools like Terraform, Flux and Helm.\nHands-on with metrics, logs and traces. We use Datadog.\nYou’ve operated relational databases in production: query performance, replication and backups.\nYou use AI tools such as Claude and Codex every day to automate what you’d otherwise do twice.\nYou back changes with data, and can tell us about one you rolled back because the numbers didn’t move.\nYou’ve been on-call before, stay calm in an incident and write clearly about what happened.\nStartup experience is a must. Having been the first or only SRE is a strong plus.\nWhat we offer\n Competitive salary in USD\n Attractive stock options\n Unlimited PTO\n Relocationallowance\n Top-notch equipment\n Team offsites around the world!","description_format":"text","description_chars":2419,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T15:54:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T06:11:49Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":83280,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/handoff-sre-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/handoff-sre-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T06:11:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10463,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2348737},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2348737"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhandoff-sre-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhandoff-sre-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhandoff-sre-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/handoff-sre-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhandoff-sre-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4262728}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"handoff.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4262728},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
