Design, build, and operate secure, scalable Kubernetes platforms and infrastructure as code (Terraform). Develop backend services and automation (Go, Python, JS/TS), improve CI/CD and observability, run on-call and incident response, define SLIs/SLOs and disaster recovery, embed security and compliance, mentor team members, and partner with product and engineering to raise reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency across hybrid and public-cloud environments.

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will enhance reliability of Block's platform, improve incident response using AI tools, and coordinate incident management. Responsibilities include building reliable systems, standardizing tools, and leading high-severity incidents during on-call rotations.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll design and improve critical production systems, lead incident response, and enhance observability while embedding with product teams to ensure reliability and performance at scale.

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will lead security design and implementation for cloud infrastructures, mentor teams, and automate security solutions.

Lead hardware test and reliability efforts for autonomous drones: define and execute validation strategies from prototype to production, perform failure analysis, drive corrective actions, contribute design-for-reliability, and use telemetry and data (Python/SQL/AI) to develop prognostics and reliability specs.

Design, deploy, and operate large-scale, multi-region cloud-native services to improve reliability, performance, and security. Partner with application teams to build automation, run SLO-driven incident response and on-call rotations, leverage Kubernetes and CNCF tooling, and implement scalable operations, chaos and scale testing, and infrastructure-as-code for a resilient SaaS platform.

Help design, scale, and improve platform reliability: define SLOs/SLIs, run on-call and incident response, build observability, improve resilience to external dependencies, enhance CI/CD and deploy safety, optimize cost and capacity, and influence infrastructure architecture.

The Hardware Reliability Engineer will oversee reliability testing for Skip's wearable devices, manage FMEA, perform environmental stress testing, and lead root cause analyses to ensure product performance in real-world conditions.

The Vehicle Reliability Engineer will diagnose issues, implement workarounds, collaborate on root cause analysis, and improve vehicle reliability through methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma.

Responsible for maintaining FedRAMP-compliant infrastructure, collaborating with software engineers, and ensuring system availability and security. Duties include infrastructure design, automation, monitoring, and incident response.

Lead Design for Reliability for electro-mechanical plant subsystems, define reliability requirements and validation roadmaps, design and run accelerated lifetime tests (focus on industrial control panels and outdoor power electronics), perform DFMEAs and root cause analysis, mentor peers, and champion safety across cross-functional teams.

Lead reliability efforts for iron-air battery packs: advise on Design for Reliability, run DFMEAs, create accelerated lifetime test plans for liquid/gas and electro-mechanical subsystems, identify root causes, and support cross-functional teams while championing safety.

The Reliability Engineer will drive reliability for Solid-State Transformers, conduct test plans, analyze data, document risks, and support hardware deployment.

The Reliability Engineer will define reliability requirements, conduct tests, analyze designs, and collaborate on hardware reliability within energy storage products.

Lead design and delivery of a reliability platform for production systems. Own quarterly goals, guide engineers through ambiguity, collaborate with PM/design/analytics, monitor and operate services (on-call), set quality and code standards, and mentor teammates.
