Staff Site Reliability Engineer - StackBlitz

🚀 About Us

We’re Bolt.new by StackBlitz!

We’re the team that brought you WebContainers, the first-of-its-kind technology that made it possible to run Node.js right inside your browser. That breakthrough kicked off our journey in 2019, and it’s what powers the blazing-fast online IDE used by over 1 million developers every month.

We doubled down on everything we learned and built Bolt.new — the fastest way to go from idea to production without writing traditional code. It’s a next-gen, AI-powered app builder that helps you create, edit, and deploy full-stack web and mobile apps instantly, right in your browser.

We’re a fully remote team, globally distributed, deeply collaborative, and seriously passionate about building the future of software development.

✨ About This Opportunity

As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer, you'll be the reliability conscience of our engineering organization, embedding with product and platform teams from the earliest stages of a project, shaping designs, and making sure what we build is observable, scalable, and operable long before it reaches production.

You'll set technical direction, define the standards other engineers build against, and drive initiatives that span multiple teams. This is a high-influence individual-contributor role: you won't manage people, but you will change how the whole organization thinks about reliability. You'll respond to incidents and share the on-call rotation alongside the rest of the team, but your lasting impact is the incidents that never happen because reliability was designed in from the start.

🛠️ How You'll Contribute

• Embed With Teams Early: Partner with development teams throughout the project lifecycle, from design and architecture reviews through launch readiness.
• Define Production-Readiness Standards: Establish and evolve the design reviews, launch checklists, and operational acceptance criteria that projects pass through.
• Make Reliability Measurable: Define meaningful SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in collaboration with product and engineering.
• Build the Paved Roads: Create the frameworks, tooling, and golden paths across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with Terraform as the common backbone.
• Cross-Team Leadership: Partner across engineering, product, and design to align reliability work with business objectives. Mentor senior and mid-level engineers.
• Mature Our Incident Practice: Lead by influence on incident management and blameless postmortems.
• Represent Us Externally: Build relationships with cloud and infrastructure provider teams and represent StackBlitz in customer trust conversations.
• On-Call Rotation: Every SRE shares our on-call rotation, currently one week per month.

💡 Qualifications

• Multi-Cloud Fluency: General fluency across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with Terraform as our common infrastructure-as-code layer.
• Our Stack: Comfort supporting and contributing to TypeScript (frontend and backend) and Ruby on Rails (backend) services.
• SRE / Production Engineering Experience: Significant experience as an SRE, production/platform engineer, or software engineer with a deep reliability focus.
• Software Engineering Excellence: Strong software engineering fundamentals; you write production-quality code and can go deep with the teams you partner with.
• Technical Leadership & Influence: A track record of changing how teams work, leading across team boundaries without formal authority.
• Strategic Execution & Systems Thinking: Ability to take ambiguous, high-scope problems to completion and identify organizational technical debt.
• Data-Driven Leadership: Experience building measurement frameworks and translating findings into improvements.
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills.
