Senior Site Reliability Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Kubernetes-focused team in Cloud Integration Engineering. CIE ensures the continuous availability of the technologies and systems that are the foundation of athenahealth’s services. We are directly responsible for thousands of servers, petabytes of storage, and handling thousands of web requests per second on a Hybrid cloud architecture, all while sustaining growth at a meteoric rate. We enable an operating system for medical offices that removes administrative complexity, leaving doctors free to practice medicine. But enough about us, let’s talk about you.
You are an engineer with a passion for working hands-on with the latest and greatest cloud technology. You want to use the newest tech, but you want to do so in a large environment so you can see how that technology is used when scale matters.

The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of Kubernetes and hybrid cloud computing, as well as leadership and communication skills.
Responsibilities:

Work with other teams to ensure that our platform meets the needs of our business and stakeholders
Establish standards and best practices for our stakeholders to better achieve success, specifically around Kubernetes & containers
Stay up-to-date on the latest cloud computing technologies and best practices
Mentor and train other engineers
Qualifications:

We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness, accountability, and support.
Our DEI commitment:Our vision of accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas, our partners, customers and the communities where we work and serve.
