We continuously innovate to make our product more reliable, robust and fault-tolerant to fulfill our business-critical mission. SRE team plays a key role in Magnolia’s mission to further evolve its product in a world of automation and microservices.

This is a full-time, remote role. We are primarily looking for candidates based in the USA (East Coast) and/or Europe.

  • You will monitor service performance and ensure its smooth operation
  • You will leverage your experience and knowledge of complex customer-facing systems to improve and automate existing tools, processes, and infrastructure
  • You will be involved in the design, build, and deployment of scalable and secure services and provide architectural reviews, vulnerability testing, security reviews, and availability and reliability assessments
  • You will participate in an on-call schedule 

What do we need from you?
  • BA/BS in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

We are for you if you like to:
  • take charge: You are in the driver’s seat and set the direction according to what customers, colleagues and cultures need. No matter the roadblocks you see ahead, you take charge in (re)shaping the destination.

  • connect: You never drive alone. Building meaningful connections means creating experiences together that form a foundation of trust so next time there’s a bump in the road, you know someone else has your back.

  • be you: Choose your own ways and means. You make every perspective count so that everyone feels safe enough to follow their purpose and at the same time pursue one common goal. Your way of growing is to mutually question yourself and others.
