The titles on this page span several overlapping disciplines: classic SRE, production engineering, DevOps, and one hybrid SRE/backend position. Day-to-day responsibilities described in the postings include designing and operating observability stacks, defining service-level objectives, managing incident response, and reducing operational toil through automation. Distributed systems reliability at scale is a recurring theme, as is on-call ownership.
At the individual contributor level, roles like the Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Legora centre on building foundational platform services end-to-end and improving incident response processes. Staff-level positions, such as the Staff Site Reliability Engineer also at Legora, shift toward cross-functional architecture, setting production standards across multiple teams, and leading design reviews. The Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Duolingo emphasises partnering with product and platform teams to keep distributed systems running reliably at consumer scale. A minority of postings carry manager titles, reflecting responsibility for team direction alongside technical delivery.
Skill counts reflect mentions in descriptions across all postings on this page, not stated requirements, so the same posting may mention several. With a sample of this size, patterns are indicative rather than definitive. Cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code dominate: AWS, Kubernetes, Python, and Terraform are each mentioned in the majority of postings. Azure and GCP appear in roughly half. CI/CD pipelines are similarly common, while AI-adjacent terms such as LLMs and GPU references appear in a smaller subset, suggesting some employers are operating AI workloads.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
All postings on this page specify a work mode. The majority are fully on-site in New York, with no remote positions listed. A significant minority are hybrid, meaning some in-office attendance is expected but the exact schedule is not always stated in the posting itself. None of the postings are listed as fully remote. Candidates who need flexibility should check individual listings carefully, as the specific hybrid cadence — days per week or per month — is not always disclosed in the summary information shown here.
