Site Reliability Engineer

Job Description

Commenda is building the worlds first global business console, allowing multinational businesses to seamlessly comply with regulations everywhere that they operate. With paying customers and real production traffic, reliability is already a top-line business metric. You ll be the first dedicated SRE, setting the vision and hands-on practices that keep our web app, backend services, and critical third-party integrations up and humming even as we scale 10 . This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role: you ll report to the CTO, work shoulder-to-shoulder with every engineer, and have the authority to knock down whatever walls stand between our users and 99.99% availability. What youll do First 90 days: Audit our current infra (AWS, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD) and spin up a pragmatic roadmap for reliability, observability, and incident response. Stand up monitoring & alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, PagerDuty or better tools you champion). Harden CI/CD pipelines and IaC templates so every deploy is boring and reversible. Draft, socialize, and enforce lightweight runbooks; mentor engineers to own their services in prod. Next 12 months: Drive our SLO/SLI program own the numbers, surface them to the org, and course-correct when we drift. Lead game days, post-mortems, and deep-dive root cause analyses that actually change systems & culture. Evolve our capacity-planning, autoscaling, and cost-to-serve models as we land bigger customers. Champion security best practices (least privilege, secret management, vulnerability scanning). Continuously hunt for toil and automate it away think one-click staging envs, zero-touch rollbacks, etc. We care less about your education and work experience and more about culture fit, commitment and drive. This is probably the right role for you if: You read the Site Reliability Engineering book and felt
