Staff Site Reliability Engineer

Remote

🚀 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.

But we didn’t stop there. 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. No installs. No setup. Just smart automation and instant dev environments that let you move at the speed of thought.

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

This is your chance to join a small team with a big vision. If you love shipping fast, solving real problems, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, we’d love to meet you.

✨ 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. The heart of this role is making the pager ring less over time, but the pager is real. Every SRE here shares our on-call rotation, and sometimes the work genuinely is rolling up your sleeves and digging into a live incident.

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, at the scale of millions of developers building real products on Bolt.new every day.

🛠️ How You'll Contribute 

  • Embed With Teams Early: Partner with development teams throughout the project lifecycle, from design and architecture reviews through launch readiness. Bringing an SRE perspective before code is written, not after it breaks. Shepherd projects to completion with reliability designed in.
  • Define Production-Readiness Standards: Establish and evolve the design reviews, launch checklists, and operational acceptance criteria that projects pass through, and own how teams adopt them across the org.
  • Make Reliability Measurable: Define meaningful SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in collaboration with product and engineering, and help teams use them to make real prioritization decisions.
  • Build the Paved Roads: Create the frameworks, tooling, and golden paths across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with Terraform as the common backbone, that make the reliable way the easy way for every engineer.
  • Cross-Team Leadership: Partner across engineering, product, and design to align reliability work with business objectives. Influence roadmaps, resolve technical disagreements, identify process and technical debt across the organization, and propose solutions that accelerate velocity for multiple teams. Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raising the bar for operational excellence everywhere.
  • Mature Our Incident Practice: Lead by influence on incident management and blameless postmortems, turning failure modes and operational signals into systematic, durable improvements.
  • Represent Us Externally: Build relationships with our cloud and infrastructure provider teams to influence roadmaps and unlock early access to new capabilities, and represent StackBlitz in customer trust conversations and the broader reliability community.
  • On-call rotation: Every SRE shares our on-call rotation, currently one week per month.

đź’ˇ Qualifications

  • Multi-Cloud Fluency: General fluency across AWS, GCP, and Azure matters more to us than deep specialization in any one, we run across all three. Terraform is our common infrastructure-as-code layer everywhere.
  • Our Stack: Comfort supporting and contributing to TypeScript (frontend and backend) and Ruby on Rails (backend) services. We're opinionated about our stack, and you'll work alongside it daily.
  • SRE / Production Engineering Experience: Significant experience as an SRE, production/platform engineer, or software engineer with a deep reliability focus, including time operating at scale.
  • Software Engineering Excellence: Strong software engineering fundamentals; you write production-quality code and can go deep with the teams you partner with, balancing immediate needs against long-term maintainability.
  • Technical Leadership & Influence: A track record of changing how teams work, not just how systems run, leading across team boundaries without formal authority.
  • Strategic Execution: Ability to take ambiguous, high-scope problems and drive them to completion with minimal oversight.
  • Systems Thinking: Ability to identify process, communication, and technical debt across the organization and propose solutions that accelerate velocity for multiple teams.
  • Data-Driven Leadership: Experience building measurement and evaluation frameworks, identifying patterns in operational data, and translating findings into organizational improvements.
  • Strong verbal and written English communication skills are required, as this role involves frequent collaboration with team members, stakeholders, customers, and external audiences where English is the primary working language.

🎯 Bonus Points 

  • Experience standing up or maturing an SRE practice at a growth-stage company.
  • Background working as an embedded SRE or partnering closely with product teams.
  • Experience designing chaos/resilience testing or progressive delivery practices.

đź“Ś A Few Notes

  • You do not need a college degree to apply

  • You do not need to be located in the U.S. — we’re remote-friendly

  • You do not need to meet every qualification listed above

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
