Role Summary:

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Filevine, you will be a well-rounded reliability leader
embedded with a cross-functional team — and a primary driver of Observability excellence. You
bring broad, deep SRE expertise across the full software development lifecycle, and you bring
mastery in making complex systems visible, understandable, and actionable through best-in-class
monitoring, alerting, incident management, and platform tooling.

You will establish and own the observability posture for your team’s systems, serve as an
authoritative voice for reliability, and invest meaningfully in the engineers around you. As you ramp
up and gain context in the Filevine environment, you’ll grow into increasingly impactful work —
taking on mission-critical objectives that build out and improve our autonomous, observable
systems while cementing your reputation as an exceptional engineer who designs and maintains
systems that perform reliably at enterprise scale.

• Own and continuously advance the observability strategy for your team — including
  monitoring, alerting, dashboards, distributed tracing, log aggregation, and SLI/SLO/SLA
  frameworks.
• Lead incident management end-to-end: detection, triage, communication, resolution, and
  blameless post-mortems that drive lasting improvements.
• Serve as a Reliability Engineering leader on your team — providing strong technical
  leadership, sound judgment, and a clear voice on reliability across the SDLC.
• Design and maintain autonomous systems for building, deploying, testing, and operating all
  Filevine products with minimal human intervention.
• Continuously enhance CI/CD pipelines, automation scripts, playbooks, and tooling to reduce
  toil and accelerate resolution time.
• Proactively identify and resolve gaps in system availability, performance, and security while
  defending overall security posture.
• Mentor engineers — dedicating meaningful time to growing those around you, sharing
  knowledge proactively, and leaving people more capable than before.
• Document processes, architecture, procedures, and best practices; take full ownership of
  documentation for the technologies in your domain and actively close gaps for fellow SREs.
• Participate in 24/7 on-call rotation for production support and emergency response;
  communicate clearly with technical and management stakeholders at all levels.
• Build roadmaps for the technologies and workflows you own, giving the team a clear direction
  for ongoing improvement.

• 8+ years of hands-on technical experience in software engineering, infrastructure, or
  operations roles, including a minimum of 5 years dedicated to Site Reliability Engineering.• Expert-level, well-rounded SRE skill set — proficient across monitoring/alerting, incident
  response, capacity planning, performance optimization, CI/CD, and reliability engineering best
  practices.
  • Deep hands-on expertise with New Relic or a comparable observability platform; strong
  preference for candidates who have led observability platform adoption or migration at scale.
  • Demonstrated experience owning incident management programs: on-call processes,
  escalation design, post-mortem culture, and measurable MTTR/MTTD improvement.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Bash, PowerShell, and other common SRE scripting and
  automation technologies.
  • Expert-level experience designing, building, and maintaining autonomous systems that handle
  software build, deployment, testing, monitoring, and operations.
  • Proficient hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, EKS/Kubernetes, CloudWatch, Lambda, S3,
  IAM) and the broader cloud-native ecosystem.
  • Strong communicator who proactively informs stakeholders, operates transparently, and can
  bridge technical complexity for product and management audiences.
  • Proven track record of mentoring engineers, leading initiatives to completion, and making
  those around them measurably better.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field; equivalent
  certifications (e.g., AWS certifications, Google Cloud Professional); or substantial comparable
  direct work experience
