SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEER-APPLICATIONS
We are looking for a talented Applications Site Reliability Engineer (ASRE) to work alongside our applications developers to help them design, deploy and operate the next generation of Fastly’s production service platform. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) drives the reliability, speed, efficiency, and security of our backend systems. Each ASRE is embedded in a particular application team for a period of 6-12 months, where they consult with and assist that team on scalability, reliability, deployment, observability, operational documentation, and production readiness. This embedding model allows the ASRE to get real depth in a particular Fastly application and build ongoing relationships with that application engineering team, while also gaining technical breadth of experience via team rotation.
At Fastly, ASRE is critical for the company. This is a place where as an ASRE you can be part of the main-line of the product, not a sideline.
