Okta is seeking a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to design, build, and operate highly scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure powering production systems across AWS and GCP. This is a technical leadership role focused on driving major reliability and modernization initiatives, including container platform migrations (ECS to EKS/GKE) and microservice enablement across multi-cloud environments.
Key responsibilities include serving as a technical authority in Kubernetes (EKS and GKE), cloud infrastructure, and modern CI/CD practices. You will partner with development teams to architect microservice-based applications, implement infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and drive improvements in observability, performance, and cost efficiency. The role emphasizes SRE best practices—defining SLOs/SLIs, conducting blameless postmortems, and continuously improving incident response.
You will lead complex technical projects from conception to completion, mentor engineers across teams, and collaborate with security and compliance partners. Participation in on-call rotation is expected, with incidents treated as learning opportunities.
Required experience includes 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering; 3–5 years with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) and related tools in production; 3–5 years with AWS and GCP; and 3–5 years using Terraform for multi-cloud infrastructure. You should have 3+ years of coding experience in Python, Go, or similar languages, a proven track record leading high-impact projects (especially migrations and microservice enablement), and experience implementing SLOs/SLIs and performing root cause analyses. Prior work in SaaS or high-scale, cloud-native environments is a strong plus. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience is required.
