Role Overview:The ideal SRE/DevOps engineer is a technically strong, security‑minded problem‑solver who operates production systems with a calm, data‑driven approach, proactively improves tooling, and communicates effectively across teams while continually leveling up their own skills and those of the organization.
Primary Responsibilities:
Automate Software Delivery
  • Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD) that integrate automated testing, security scanning, and one‑click rollback to accelerate safe releases.

Operate Production Infrastructure
  • Provision, configure, and manage secure, highly‑available cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on‑prem environments with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation).

Observe, Troubleshoot & Remediate
  • Instrument systems with metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry); own the on‑call rotation, rapidly diagnose incidents, and drive blameless post‑mortems.

Optimize Performance & Cost
  • Continuously assess latency, capacity, and cloud spend; tune applications and scale containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) to meet SLAs while controlling costs.

Continuously Improve Tooling & Process
  • Research, evaluate, and standardize new tools or practices that boost reliability, security, or developer velocity; automate toil wherever it appears.

Collaborate & Coach
  • Partner with software, QA, and security teams to embed DevOps/SRE best practices; create clear documentation and share operational knowledge.

Must‑Have Skills & Experience:


  • 5–7 years in production SRE/DevOps or related software‑engineering roles, including participation in an on‑call rotation

  • Practical use of monitoring, logging, and tracing stacks; comfortable leading incident bridges and post‑incident analysis
  • Fluency with Git workflows, code review culture, and clear written/verbal communication
  • Proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, or Bash) to automate tasks and build small services
  • Self‑starter who is proactive, curious, and relentlessly focused on eliminating manual toil

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:


  • Security or compliance experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)
  • Database operations at scale (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB)
  • Observability platform tuning (Grafana Loki, Elastic, Honeycomb)
  • Relevant certifications (CKA/CKAD, AWS SA‑Pro, Terraform Associate)

To be a strong fit you also need:


  • Bias Toward Action: Demonstrated ability to take initiative, make decisions under uncertainty, and move projects forward even in the face of ambiguity. We value individuals who are self-starters and ready to act on opportunities and challenges alike.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit: Strong adaptability to changing business needs with a knack for building and optimizing processes. Your entrepreneurial mindset will be crucial in navigating the dynamic landscape of our industry, ensuring our platform remains competitive and responsive to user needs.

At Function Health, our core mission is to empower you to live 100 healthy years. We believe that a fulfilling life is intrinsically linked to good health, and that true health awareness is the key to unlocking your body's potential. You are the source of your own truth, and we are here to provide you with the deepest understanding of what's happening within you. Our journey began with the recognition that traditional healthcare often focuses on treating symptoms rather than identifying and addressing root causes. It can take years, even decades, for scientific breakthroughs to translate into everyday medical practice. We're here to change that, aiming to bring the latest in medical knowledge and AI-driven insights directly to you, transforming that 18-year lag into 18 seconds.

Our team is comprised of individuals who have personally experienced the shortcomings of conventional healthcare, alongside the brilliance of modern medicine. These experiences fuel our passion to simplify the complex, to place powerful health technologies directly into your hands, and to always prioritize your privacy. We are led by a world-class team, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark Hyman, a renowned leader in functional medicine, alongside dedicated founders and experts in technology and AI. Jonathan Swerdlin, our CEO, is a repeat founder who has personally benefited from the principles Function Health is built upon. COO Pranitha Patil brought her expertise from health strategy at Accenture, even leaving her graduate studies at Harvard to co-found this company. CTO Mike Nemke, a former Green Beret and AI engineer, and CPO Seth Weisfield, previously a Product Design Director at Meta working on AI, round out our innovative leadership. Together, we are committed to engineering the future of how we live, inspired by the profound impact health has on our lives and the lives of our families. We envision a future where everyone has the tools and knowledge to proactively manage their well-being, catching potential health issues early and benefiting from the rapid advancements in AI and data science. This isn't just about lab tests; it's about a new routine, a new understanding, and a new level of control over your health journey.
