A Contract Reliability Engineer is a professional hired on a temporary or project basis to ensure the reliability, availability, and maintainability of systems, equipment, or processes. They analyze failure data, perform root cause analysis, and implement strategies to improve system performance. This role often involves collaborating with maintenance teams, design engineers, and operations personnel to optimize asset life and reduce downtime. Contract roles may vary in duration and scope, depending on the project's needs.
As a Contract Reliability Engineer, your responsibilities usually revolve around conducting reliability assessments, analyzing failure data, and implementing preventative maintenance strategies for client equipment or systems. You might be tasked with performing root cause analysis, recommending design improvements, and supporting maintenance teams in optimizing asset performance. Projects can vary widely by industry but often involve collaborating with operations, quality, and engineering teams to identify reliability risks and drive continuous improvement. This dynamic role provides the opportunity to work on diverse assignments, enhance problem-solving skills, and make a tangible impact on client operations.
To thrive as a Contract Reliability Engineer, you need a strong background in reliability engineering principles, statistical analysis, and mechanical or electrical systems, often supported by an engineering degree and relevant project experience. Familiarity with reliability software (such as Weibull analysis tools), FMEA, and certifications like Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) are highly valued. Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and project management skills are important for collaborating with cross-functional teams and clearly conveying technical findings. These abilities are essential for ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and delivering measurable value to clients on a contractual basis.

Site Reliability Engineer II
Bay Area, offices in San Jose Hybrid 24/7 FedRAMP Operations Rotational Shift Initial Contract till March 27.
KEY REQUIREMENT
This role requires US citizenship and residence on US soil. It sits within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment, so FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are non-negotiable, not preferred.
Eyes on glass. Hands on the pipeline. Real ownership from day one.
This isn't a watch-and-wait monitoring seat. Our client needs engineers who can read a Kibana query at 3am, know the difference between a blip and a breach, and act on it, on a FedRAMP-authorised cloud platform that genuinely can't afford downtime. If you're a couple of years into SRE or cloud support and want your next role to open doors into FedRAMP and GovCloud work, this is a strong place to build that experience.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Real-time monitoring and first-response triage. Across AWS (Commercial/GovCloud) and EKS infrastructure.
Log-level root cause investigation. In Kibana and Elasticsearch, you'll actually dig, not just escalate.
CVE remediation and STIG hardening. On your patch, within FedRAMP SLA windows.
Deployment execution and troubleshooting. Through GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.
Requirements
3+ years in SRE, DevOps, systems administration, or cloud support.
Solid Linux administration (RHEL, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu) and comfort with bash/Python scripting.
Working knowledge of Kubernetes/EKS, AWS core services, and L4/L7 load balancing troubleshooting.
Prometheus, Grafana, and ChatOps-via-Slack experience.
US citizenship and US-soil residency, with genuine availability for overnight/weekend rotational shifts. This is non-negotiable.
Benefits
WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US
A defined engagement. Mid-September through end of March, with clear shift expectations up front.
Competitive W2 hourly rate. $70-$90/hr, with overnight/weekend shift premium built in, DOE.
A genuine reference point. For FedRAMP/GovCloud experience on your CV, and a real stepping stone toward Senior SRE.
Real support. From a delivery partner that treats contractors like people, not headcount.
