A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) in a remote role is responsible for ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of software systems while working from a remote location. They bridge the gap between development and operations by implementing automation, monitoring, and incident response strategies. Remote SREs collaborate with distributed teams to improve infrastructure, troubleshoot issues, and optimize system performance. Strong communication skills, proficiency in cloud technologies, and expertise in software development are essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Site Reliability Engineer Remote position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Site Reliability Engineer Remote, you need expertise in systems administration, cloud infrastructure, automation, coding (often in Python or Go), and a solid grasp of networking fundamentals, usually demonstrated with a degree in computer science or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure, monitoring platforms like Prometheus, and certifications like AWS Certified SysOps Administrator are highly valued. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills are essential, especially when troubleshooting incidents and passing information across distributed teams. These abilities ensure reliable, scalable services and smooth coordination in a remote work environment.

What are some common challenges faced by Site Reliability Engineers working remotely, and how are they addressed?

Site Reliability Engineers working remotely may encounter challenges like coordinating across multiple time zones, maintaining clear communication during urgent incidents, and managing complex systems without direct on-site access. These are often addressed by leveraging collaborative tools (like Slack, Zoom, and incident management platforms), implementing well-documented processes, and participating in regular team syncs or on-call rotations. Remote SREs also benefit from automation and observability practices that provide in-depth systems insights without needing physical presence. Many organizations support their success through robust onboarding, continuous training, and establishing clear lines of communication for rapid response scenarios. This blend of technical and teamwork strategies helps remote SREs maintain service reliability and stay connected with their colleagues.

Job description

Group 1001 is a consumer-centric, technology-driven family of insurance companies on a mission to deliver outstanding value and operational performance by combining financial strength and stability with deep insurance expertise and a can-do culture. Group1001's culture emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, core business focus, risk management, and striving for outcomes. This goal extends to how we hire and onboard our most valuable assets - our employees.
Why This Role Matters:
The Platform Engineering Services team at Group 1001 is building a Site Reliability Engineering practice with a network scope. We're hiring an Sr. Network Reliability Engineer who embodies Innovation and Excellence, and will apply SRE principles - code-as-source-of-truth, SLOs and error budgets, alerting on symptoms rather than causes, failure-mode-first design, and the elimination of toil - to the firm's network platform from carrier edge through cloud fabric to Kubernetes pod boundary. This is not a "keep the lights on" role. You will systematically engineer the lights-on work out of existence, build the abstractions that let other engineering teams express network intent in code, and treat the network as a single engineered system rather than a collection of vendor consoles. You will operate inside a DevSecOps practice spanning multi-cloud, multi-region environments, and you will partner closely with Cloud and Data Platforms, the NOC/SOC, and Cyber Security to extend reliability practice across the firm.
How You'll Contribute:
  • Treat reliability as an engineered property. Define SLOs and error budgets for the network platform - DNS resolution, edge availability, mesh ingress success, cross-region path health - and use them to gate changes, not just to color dashboards. Lead postmortems with a focus on permanent remediation, not pattern-recognition. Alert on symptoms users feel, not on causes that may or may not produce impact.
  • Move network state into code. Use Terraform (or Pulumi), Ansible, and Python to replace CLI-driven configuration with declarative, version-controlled, peer-reviewed change running through Infra CI/CD. This applies equally to the edge tier (Cloudflare), security platforms (Zscaler ZIA/ZPA, ZTNA policies, next-gen firewalls), the cloud network fabric (Transit Gateway, Cloud WAN, VPCs, Route53, IPAM), and increasingly the Kubernetes and service-mesh layer.
  • Build network policy as intent, not rule lists. Express what flows are permitted, what segments are isolated, what egress is inspected, what zones share DNS - and engineer the compilers that turn that intent into per-vendor configuration. Use Policy as Code (OPA/Rego, Sentinel, Cilium NetworkPolicy) to catch invariant violations at plan time, not apply time.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design, deploy, and manage network infrastructure using Terraform or Ansible, moving the firm away from manual configuration to a code-first approach.
  • Engineer the cloud network platform. Operate and extend our multi-account AWS Landing Zone - Cloud WAN segmentation, Transit Gateway peering, IPAM-driven CIDR allocation, shared private DNS, cross-account telemetry pipelines. Build the platform abstractions that make a new account or service land correctly with policy and connectivity composed from declarative inputs.
  • Extend platform thinking into the container tier. Kubernetes networking, service mesh (Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect), eBPF-based observability and policy (Cilium, Hubble), and the integration points where mesh-level authz meets cloud-tier identity. Recognize that an "internal" service is one logical hop on a chain of policy enforcement points and engineer for that explicitly.
  • Improve telemetry and observability with intent. Build alerts as structured payloads with runbook links, suspected blast radius, and dependency-aware suppression. Author both system-health dashboards for operators and end-user monitoring dashboards that reflect actual user experience. Use Grafana, Elastic, Open Telemetry where each fits.
  • Mentor and grow the team. Provide technical guidance to junior engineers, foster a culture of learning, and work out loud across Platform Engineering so the patterns you build cross-pollinate to adjacent domains.
  • Handle hardware when required. Provide maintenance and configuration support for routers, switches, and firewalls at data centers and offices when needed - bringing code-first practices to physical hardware where possible (templating, change validation, zero-touch provisioning) and direct hands-on competence where it isn't.
  • Incident Response: Serve as an escalation point for network issues, some complex and some basic but not yet covered by runbooks. Troubleshooting with a focus on root cause analysis and permanent remediation with a documentation-first mindset.
  • Reduce toil and hand off cleanly. Repetitive operational tasks are scoped engineering problems with measurable payoff. Author runbooks and SOPs that the NOC can execute confidently; package routine work for L1/L2 handoff so engineering interrupt drops over time. Coordinate across Data Platforms, NOC/SOC, and Cyber Security so reliability practices spread instead of staying siloed.

What We're Looking For:
  • Network Engineering: Deep understanding of TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VPNs, and SD-WAN architecture.
  • Automation: Proven experience with Terraform (state management, modules) and Ansible (playbooks, roles) - or similar - in a production environment. Proficiency in Python for automation and API interaction, or similar.
  • Security Platforms: Hands-on experience with Cloudflare, zScaler, and/or enterprise firewalls.
  • Observability: Experience configuring monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) to create meaningful alerts and dashboards.

Nice to Have
  • Service mesh experience (Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect, Cilium).
  • eBPF-based observability (Hubble, Pixie).
  • AWS Multi-account landing zone tooling experience (AFT, Control Tower, or equivalent).
  • Policy as Code experience (OPA/Rego, Sentinel, Cilium NetworkPolicy).
  • Professional Attributes
  • Documentation First: A strong belief that a job isn't done until the documentation in written.
  • Toil Reduction: A mindset that actively seeks to automate repetitive tasks.
  • Hybrid Capability: Willingness to handle physical hardware tasks when required while maintaining a software-centric engineering mindset.

Compensation:
Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several U.S. geographic markets. The base pay for this position ranges from $135,000/year in our lowest geographic market up to $190,000/year in our highest geographic market. Pay is based on factors such as market location, job-related skills, and experience.
