The Role

We are looking to add a highly experienced and impactful colleague to the organization to drive the transformation of Addepar’s Production Engineering and SRE team. This role focuses on evolving our platform towards enabling high-level declarative infrastructure orchestration and its operations. This platform closely integrates our Compute, Network, and Storage control planes, allowing us to develop highly efficient and fast-to-iterate-on services tailored to various product areas within the company, abstracting our developers from the nuances of underlying infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will play a staff, leading role in implementing, maintaining, and strategically evolving Addepar’s Production Infrastructure. You will bring a robust combination of leading innovative solutions across functional teams and extensive hands-on development experience in AWS/cloud, Linux/Unix, networking, advanced scripting abilities, containerization, Kubernetes, Terraform, Information Security, deep debugging, and comprehensive monitoring/observability skills. This includes designing, deploying, monitoring, automating, and optimizing all operational aspects of Addepar's platform with a focus on reliability, scalability, and efficiency.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design, implementation, and operationalization of container infrastructure using Kubernetes (k8s), ensuring high availability, performance, and security.
• Architect, build, and maintain advanced, automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ArgoCD, AWS CodeBuild/Pipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar, establishing best practices for deployment strategies (e.g., blue/green, canary).
• Drive the adoption and evangelism of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Terraform, focusing on scaling the Addepar Platform across regions with a focus on cost optimization and operational efficiency.
• Develop deep application-level knowledge to proactively inform and influence infrastructure requirements and constraints for Developers, QA, and Management, including implementing sophisticated dashboards for Cost and Inventory management, performance analysis, and capacity planning.
• Perform advanced monitoring and troubleshooting of our infrastructure and application stack using a wide array of logging/monitoring tools, driving root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
• Initiate and lead collaborations with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve complex Application or infrastructure issues, serving as a technical subject matter expert.
• Serve as a primary on-call responder for critical incidents, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills under pressure and contributing to post-incident reviews to improve system resilience.
• Highlight team-specific activities, followed by how this role will interact with other teams and groups.

Who You Are

• Extensive progressive experience in the SRE/DevOps/Systems Engineer field, with a track record of taking on increasing responsibility.
• Expert-level understanding of Cloud Infrastructure fundamentals (AWS preferred), including advanced networking, security, and managed services.
• Exceptional Programming/Scripting skills in various common languages (Python, Bash, and general Linux tools are essential; Java is a strong plus).
