Join the Site Reliability Engineering team at one of the fastest growing tech startups in NYC!

At Namely, we are self-starters and problem solvers, obsessed with creating the best experience for our clients. We are a team of smart and self-motivated engineers who are eager to learn, grow and collaborate with each other. Each person is the owner of their work and directly impacts the success of our products and company.

Namely’s mission is to help mid-sized companies build a better workplace. We are transforming HR, payroll, and benefits into a platform and experience HR professionals and employees love to use. People are at the center of everything we do, and we believe every company and employee deserves a great workplace, supported by innovative HR technology.

SRE’s job is to keep the platform that our 1,100 customers use running smoothly and efficiently. We build powerful automation that impacts everything from development and testing through to production deployment, scaling, monitoring, and alerting. Put another way, we eliminate work through automation. We have fun leveraging cutting edge technologies such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Istio, Jenkins, and Spinnaker.
