Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Radiance Technologies•Dayton, OH

About The Position

At Radiance our SREs own the reliability of systems they don't write - defining what "reliable enough" means from the user’s perspective, instrumenting and measuring against those targets, and building the tooling and runbooks that make failure recoverable. They partner with dev teams pushing operational quality upstream before code ships, and they lead the resolution in production when things go wrong. SREs are comfortable debugging distributed systems, resolving incidents, and translating findings into lasting reliability improvements.
