Buoyant
Buoyant builds tools that engineers around the world use to run reliable, high-scale applications on Kubernetes. Our mission is to create a world where people can trust the technology they rely on, by giving everyone the ability to build innovative, reliable, and secure software.
Our open source service mesh, Linkerd (linkerd.io), defined a whole new category of software, and now powers the production infrastructure of organizations around the globe from Nordstrom to Walmart to Strava to Planet Labs. Our "human control plane", Dive (dive.co), brings critical tooling to these same organizations, giving platform teams the ability to understand and coordinate not just the machines but the people and process involved in shipping and maintaining complex and fast-moving software.
We're looking for an SRE to help us scale Dive and continue our track record of reliability and trustworthiness for the customers who depend on us. You’ll work with our incredible and product-focused team in a supportive and friendly environment. Our ideal candidate has a strong engineering background, great communication skills, and a desire to do what's right for our users and customers.
Responsibilities
- You will lead the SRE effort for Dive (dive.co).
- You will work with product and developer teams to develop production readiness standards, deploy automation, incident response and postmortem processes, and everything else necessary to help us make Buoyant worthy of the trust our customers place in us.
- You will keep Buoyant honest with the SRE best practices we espouse in our products.

- You can give and receive constructive feedback
- You want to learn from and mentor teammates
- You want to help support our thriving open source community, e.g. on the Linkerd community Slack
- You use and love open source software
- You value an inclusive and diverse workplace

We’re not just building a product, we’re building a company. Come join us and let's build the next generation of infrastructure software at a company that we can be proud of.
