We’re seeking a client-facing Senior Customer Reliability Engineer in San Francisco with a problem-solving mindset to support and resolve the technical issues experienced by some of our highest-valued customers.

Sysdig is the cloud-native intelligence company, and we’re at the forefront of the container and microservices adoption in the enterprise. We’re the people who are making reliable, secure containers a reality for enterprises everywhere.

We're passionate about solving the most complex operational challenges that companies face when they transition to Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native architectures on a massive scale.
