Site Reliability Engineer, Incident Response

Site Reliability Engineers (SRE's) are responsible for keeping all user-facing services and other Chainlink production systems running smoothly. SRE's are a blend of pragmatic operators and software craftspeople that apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline, and mature automation to our environments.

The experience of our team feeds back into other engineering groups within the company, as well as to Chainlink Node Operators.
