\nCome join the SRE team at Stack Overflow! As one of the top 50 websites by traffic volume worldwide, we hit some unique challenges.

Experience with managing internet-facing services is a plus. We don’t expect you to know everything about all of the technologies we use, so you’ll work with other members of the team to learn and develop your skills.\n\nAs an SRE, you’ll bring a developer mindset to system administration, always looking for ways to automate manual work and create repeatable, scalable systems and processes. We are wiki-centric and prefer to document and automate in small increments as we work.\n\nWe are a remote-first team with members in many timezones.
