Site Reliability Engineer | Growth and Transformation

The Growth and Transformation team at Red Ventures is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to ensure our platforms and applications are resilient, scalable, and perform at lightning speed. You’ll work across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes environments, helping us meet ambitious 99.99% uptime goals while driving automation, observability, and performance improvements at scale.

This isn’t a reactive role — you’ll be empowered to design reliability into our systems from the start, partner with engineers across the org, and continually improve how we build, monitor, and operate mission-critical services.

This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our South Charlotte, NC Headquarters (Tuesday through Thursday) and work fully remotely on Mondays and Fridays each week.

What You’Ll Do:

• Ensure system reliability and performance across multi-cloud, multi-region platforms.
• Build and maintain observability solutions (OpenTelemetry, New Relic, Grafana) for real-time insights.
• Automate infrastructure and deployments with Terraform and custom tooling.
• Lead and participate in incident response, troubleshooting issues, restoring service quickly, and driving root cause analysis.
• Define and manage SLOs/SLIs that hold us accountable to business-critical SLAs
• Scale infrastructure capacity to meet growth and traffic demands.
• Partner with developers to embed reliability best practices into application design and delivery
• Manage and optimize Kubernetes clusters across AWS and GCP.
• Contribute to architecture reviews with a focus on reliability and scalability.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and operational excellence.  

What We’Re Looking For:

• 3–5 years in SRE, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure engineering
• Strong experience with AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes orchestration
• Skilled in infrastructure as code (Terraform)
• Proficient in observability and monitoring tools (New Relic, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and scripting (Python, Bash, Go, etc.)
• Experience maintaining high-availability systems (99.9%+)
• Strong grasp of distributed systems, microservices, and scalability patterns
• Incident response and troubleshooting experience with a focus on learning from failures
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Bonus Points For:

• Certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect)
• Experience with chaos engineering, resilience testing, or load balancing at scale
• Familiarity with Salesforce or Adobe ecosystems
• Database performance tuning expertise
• Exposure to log aggregation tools (ELK, Splunk)
• Strong knowledge of cloud security and multi-region networking

Why Join Us?

At Red Ventures, we know reliability powers growth. As part of our Growth and Transformation team, you’ll not only keep systems running — you’ll shape how reliability is engineered into every layer of our platforms. You’ll work alongside passionate engineers in a culture that values automation over manual toil, learning from failure, and building systems that scale with confidence.

Here, your work won’t just keep the lights on. It will drive innovation, empower partners, and directly impact the success of our business.
