## Job description

We are looking for a Systems Development Engineer to build the automation, tooling, and operational infrastructure that keep this large-scale, mission-critical service reliable, secure, and efficient. In this role you will treat operations as a software problem — eliminating manual toil, hardening our deployment and monitoring systems, and ensuring our replication and recovery fleet runs flawlessly across a broad and heterogeneous environment.

### A key dimension of this role is breadth

DRS supports a wide range of operating systems (multiple Linux distributions and Windows versions) and both x86/64 and ARM64 (Graviton) architectures, so your automation and tooling must be robust across diverse OS and hardware combinations.

### Key job responsibilities

* Operational automation: Design and build software that automates infrastructure provisioning, deployments, and recurring operational workflows, reducing manual effort and on-call burden across the DRS fleet.

* CI/CD and deployment safety: Build and improve pipelines, deployment guardrails, and rollback mechanisms to ship changes safely across all regions and platform variants.

* Cross-platform support: Develop and maintain tooling that works reliably across a wide range of operating systems (various Linux distributions and Windows) and both x86/64 and ARM64 (Graviton) architectures.

* Monitoring and resilience: Implement monitoring, alarming, and self-healing systems to detect and remediate issues before they impact customers' replication and recovery operations.

* Scaling and performance: Tune and scale the systems behind continuous replication, capacity management, and recovery orchestration to handle growth gracefully.

* Operational excellence: Drive down ticket and incident volume through durable, programmatic fixes; lead root-cause analysis and contribute to runbooks and operational best practices.

* Security and compliance: Partner with security teams to harden the service and remediate findings, ensuring fixes are deployed consistently across the fleet.

* Cross-team leverage: Build automation and tooling that serves multiple teams and raises the operational bar across DRS.

### About the team
