Position Purpose:

As an SRE within our growing eCommerce organization, you will be the engineer our development teams count on for smooth builds, deployments, and day-to-day platform support. You will build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, containerize services, and deploy them to Azure. Working alongside developers, you will support them with Docker, DNS, certificates, and traffic routing, and help keep our services reliable through our observability stack.

• Hands-on with progressive delivery - Blue/Green deployments

• Scripting in Bash and/or Python

• Works independently on well-scoped problems and knows when to escalate

• Hands-on and pragmatic - solves the problem, not just closes the ticket

• Good communicator - supports development teams directly, day to day
