Department: Marketing Technology
Location: Santa Monica, Ca
Overview
The Associate Site Reliability Engineer helps keep Marketing Technology services reliable, observable, and supportable in production. This role is designed as an entry-level-to-early-career SRE position, but grounded in the type of operational work seen in the team today: incident triage, troubleshooting infrastructure and application behavior, improving observability, and reducing toil through automation.
Key responsibilities
Monitor service health, respond to alerts, and participate in incident response for cloud and application environments.
Investigate reliability issues across Kubernetes, networking, DNS, application runtime behavior, and dependent services, escalating when appropriate.
Build and maintain dashboards, alerting, runbooks, and operational documentation that improve detection and recovery speed.
Contribute small automations and scripts that reduce repetitive operational work and improve environment hygiene.
Support release and deployment reliability by validating changes, helping with rollback readiness, and improving change safety.
Participate in post-incident follow-up and help close corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
Qualifications
1–3 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or software engineering internships / early-career roles.
Familiarity with Linux, HTTP, DNS, containers, Kubernetes, Git-based workflows, and scripting in Bash, Python, or similar languages.
Exposure to monitoring, logs, metrics, dashboards, and incident management practices.
Strong troubleshooting mindset, clear communication, and willingness to learn in a production-support environment.
