Company overview

Teallight Labs employs 520 people across engineering hubs in Aurora and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

SRE role with a heavy software component. We expect you to write code that removes toil, not just run playbooks.

• Write tooling in Go or Python to automate failover, scaling and routine operations
• Tune Linux kernel, network and JVM settings when performance requires it
• Review architecture proposals for reliability risks before launch
• Define SLIs and SLOs with service owners and track error budgets

Skills and experience

• 7+ years in SRE, production engineering or infrastructure roles
• Understanding of distributed systems: consensus, replication, partitioning, backpressure
• Clear writing for postmortems and runbooks
• Experience participating in and leading on-call rotations
• Strong programming skills in Go, Python or Java

Preferred

• Multi-region or active-active architecture
• CKA or CKS certification
