Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Salary: $162,000 Employment Type: Full-time Location Type: Remote (U.S. with preference for East Coast candidates)

Position Overview

At Oura, our mission is to empower every person to own their inner potential. With our award-winning Oura Ring and app, we help over 2.5 million people turn insights about sleep, activity, and readiness into healthier, more balanced lives. We believe that starts from within — by creating a culture where our team feels supported, included, and inspired to do their best work. Our values guide how we show up for each other and our community every day.

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our SRE Squad. Our team is responsible for governance and observability of the Oura AWS infrastructure. We combine the power of the ring & the app with backend services and integrations to provide a data-rich and secure platform. Our APIs power most Oura apps, services, and machine learning components. Good reliability and scalability of the Cloud platform provides the technical foundation for our growth.

This is a remote U.S. role with a preference for candidates based on the East Coast. We have offices in San Francisco and San Diego for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Oura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and further develop Oura’s AWS infrastructure and related services.
• Build tooling, observability, and fault tolerance into our cloud platform.
• Build our infrastructure as code platform and help migrate services to run on shared good practices.
• Build our deployment and dependency management to ensure a fast and robust way to test and release our code.
• Build a team and culture of operational excellence and maintain SLAs.
• Ensure that our platform adheres to the latest security and compliance regulations.
• Take part in on-call duty.

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• 5+ years of backend development experience.
• Architected and built data-intensive distributed systems in production environments, and can apply proper architectural patterns.
• A pragmatic, can-do attitude and delivery-focused mindset; ability to handle trade-offs between short-term goals and long-term tech debt.
• Experience designing for scale and growth (e.g., preparing for user demand peaks, building fault-tolerant and secure systems).
• Experience from the Healthcare business and supporting large enterprises is an asset.
• Built robust deployment pipelines and have experience in related tools. Experience with GitHub Actions is a bonus.
• Strong experience running, monitoring, and debugging production systems at scale on AWS.
  • We are running on AWS infrastructure and use key AWS services like EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, Kinesis, Lambda, and DynamoDB.
• Experience building production systems on serverless architecture.
• Experience running and orchestrating containers in AWS with tools like ECS, Fargate, or EKS.
• Ability to configure and manage Kubernetes resources, including pods, services, deployments, and namespaces.
• Solid programming skills in languages such as JavaScript or Python.
• Although not required, a good understanding of database management is appreciated.
