Site Reliability Engineer II

Site Reliability Engineer II

The world's most critical–and at-risk–business applications have been neglected for far too long. Onapsis eliminates this blind spot by providing cybersecurity solutions dedicated to business-critical applications. Onapsis helps nearly 30% of the Forbes Global 100 understand the threats and risks across their SAP and Oracle landscapes, whether running on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer II to join our global engineering team. In this role, you will apply software engineering principles to operations, ensuring our cloud platform and distributed security products remain highly available, scalable, and resilient. You will be directly accountable for monitoring, inspecting, troubleshooting, and resolving service and product issues while continuously working with engineering partners to improve telemetry and related operation automations.

Rather than performing manual operational maintenance, you will write code, build automation, and design observability frameworks that eliminate toil and prevent system failures. You will work side-by-side with product development teams to embed reliability into the software lifecycle from day one.

As a member of our global SRE team, you will take shared full-stack ownership of Onapsis production environments, balancing active operational response with modern software engineering principles. You will develop a deep, end-to-end understanding of our system architecture, technical dependencies, and service behaviors to maximize the performance, scalability, and resilience of our enterprise security platforms.

Your time will be split between managing live production environments and driving engineering initiatives that ensure long-term system stability. When troubleshooting live incidents, you will diagnose complex issues across distributed cloud services and stateful infrastructure. Between operational cycles, you will shift into a software engineering mindset—designing, developing, and maintaining custom automation tooling to eliminate repetitive toil, optimize monitoring telemetry, and increase operational efficiency.

The ideal Site Reliability Engineer II brings a strong foundational toolkit spanning the software development lifecycle (SDLC), Linux systems administration, core networking protocols, and cloud computing (AWS preferred). You excel at viewing operational friction through a software lens, leveraging coding and automation to transform system vulnerabilities and outages into permanently solved engineering problems.
