The roles on this page span hands-on engineering, staff-level technical leadership, and people management. Individual contributor work centres on platform reliability: defining SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, owning incident response and disaster recovery, and building observability pipelines covering metrics, tracing, and logs. The Senior Infrastructure Engineer, SRE at Rocket Money illustrates this scope, focusing on a high-volume financial platform. At the staff level, roles shift toward architectural ownership — designing and managing Kubernetes clusters, automating deployments, and enforcing security posture at scale. The Staff SRE – Kubernetes role at Okta is a clear example, requiring deep expertise in Helm, Karpenter, Istio, and Terraform. Several titles explicitly require a TS or TS/SCI clearance, reflecting the federal and defence-oriented employers in this sample. Manager-level postings add team leadership and programme ownership to the technical baseline.
Across these 22 postings, AWS is by far the most commonly mentioned skill, appearing in nearly all of them. Python and Kubernetes appear together in most postings, with Terraform and CI/CD close behind, suggesting infrastructure-as-code and pipeline automation are consistent expectations. Docker and Azure appear in a minority. Skills counts reflect mentions in job descriptions, not formal requirements, and the sample is small enough that one employer's repeated postings can skew the figures.
The strong majority of postings in this sample are listed as onsite, with a small number described as hybrid. Only one posting is stated as fully remote. Given that several roles mention federal programmes, clearance requirements, or government-adjacent work, the onsite weighting is consistent with those constraints rather than a general market signal. No postings had an unknown work mode, so each listing does state a location arrangement, but candidates should confirm current terms directly with the employer before applying.
