Job Title: Associate Site Reliability Engineer

Reporting To: Manager, Engineering

Department:Marketing Technology

Location: Santa Monica, Ca

Overview

The Associate Site Reliability Engineer helps keep Marketing Technology services reliable, observable, and supportable in production. This role is designed as an entry-level-to-early-career SRE position, but grounded in the type of operational work seen in the team today: incident triage, troubleshooting infrastructure and application behavior, improving observability, and reducing toil through automation.

Key responsibilities

  • Monitor service health, respond to alerts, and participate in incident response for cloud and application environments.

  • Investigate reliability issues across Kubernetes, networking, DNS, application runtime behavior, and dependent services, escalating when appropriate.

  • Build and maintain dashboards, alerting, runbooks, and operational documentation that improve detection and recovery speed.

  • Contribute small automations and scripts that reduce repetitive operational work and improve environment hygiene.

  • Support release and deployment reliability by validating changes, helping with rollback readiness, and improving change safety.

  • Participate in post-incident follow-up and help close corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

Qualifications

  • 1-3 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or software engineering internships / early-career roles.

  • Familiarity with Linux, HTTP, DNS, containers, Kubernetes, Git-based workflows, and scripting in Bash, Python, or similar languages.

  • Exposure to monitoring, logs, metrics, dashboards, and incident management practices.

  • Strong troubleshooting mindset, clear communication, and willingness to learn in a production-support environment.
