At Priority Commerce, we're driven by results. We expect our people to be known for results - bringing expertise, momentum, and relentless focus to every challenge, helping our clients and each other thrive.

About the Role:

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will be a key individual contributor ensuring the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of Priority’s mission-critical financial technology platform. This role focuses on hands-on engineering, technical execution, and team-level influence.
You will partner closely with product and infrastructure teams to ensure services are observable and resilient. You will resolve complex incidents, automate operational workflows, and implement standards that maintain high reliability within your domain.
This is an ideal role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, systems, and operations, and who wants to drive a strong reliability culture through technical excellence.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the resolution of complex incidents within your domain and conduct thorough retrospectives to drive reliability improvements.

• Own cross-cutting platform concerns such as observability, monitoring, alerting, performance, scalability, and resiliency.

• Partner with engineering leadership and product teams to embed reliability best practices into design, planning, and delivery.

• Automate detection, resolution, and recovery for recurring production issues, reducing toil and increasing delivery velocity.

• Evaluate and introduce new technologies, frameworks, and practices to improve reliability, cost efficiency, and performance.

What Success Looks Like:

• Delivery & Execution: Services are deployed frequently and safely; incidents are resolved quickly with minimal customer impact; operational load is reduced through automation and reliable processes.

• Product Quality & Reliability: Systems consistently meet availability, latency, error-rate, and performance SLOs; incidents are rare, well-mitigated, and quickly remediated; redundancy and fault tolerance are built into all layers of the stack.

• Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Teams design with reliability in mind; incidents are resolved faster with shared playbooks; engineers across disciplines feel confident in operational practices; blameless postmortems drive organizational learning.

• Business & Product Impact: Reliability improvements directly enhance customer experience, reduce churn, and support adoption of new products and features without sacrificing stability.

• Professional Growth & Team Contribution: You are recognized as a mentor and thought leader, elevating engineering maturity across the org; teams continuously improve reliability practices, automation, and resilience.

Candidate Requirements:

Required:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering / systems engineering experience, including 3+ years in SRE or reliability-focused roles.

• Demonstrated experience leading reliability initiatives.

• Strong background in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), CI/CD, and microservices.

• Deep expertise in observability, monitoring, alerting, and incident management.

• Proficiency in modern programming languages (Java, Nodejs/JavaScript, or similar) and scripting for automation.

• Experience with relational and non-relational databases.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and business stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Prior experience in high-throughput, regulated industries such as payments, fintech, or banking.

• Familiarity with event-driven and asynchronous architectures.

• Strong mentoring background, helping senior engineers adopt higher-level reliability thinking.

• Advanced certifications in cloud, reliability, or system design (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, SRE Foundation).
