ABOUT ROCKET MONEY đź”®

Rocket Money’s mission is to empower people to live their best financial lives. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.

ABOUT THE TEAM 🤹

We're looking to expand our Cloud Infrastructure team with a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, SRE to lead the reliability and operational evolution of our platform. We run hundreds of services in production, which enable us to process billions of transactions, consume multiple terabytes of data, and produce hundreds of millions of logs per day, and our reliability practice needs to evolve to match our growing scale. This includes:

  • Building and improving the reliability and resiliency of our systems and services
  • Establishing SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for our most critical services and user journeys, and reviewing them regularly with the teams that own them
  • Owning and evolving our disaster recovery strategy: recovery objectives, failover and restore paths, and regular exercises that prove they work
  • Partnering with product engineering teams so they can own and operate their own services, with metrics that reflect real user experience
  • Evolving our observability platform and standards across metrics, tracing, and logs: including instrumentation paved roads, alert quality, and observability cost
  • Strengthening our incident practice: tuning paging thresholds, keeping runbooks current, and following through on postmortem action items
  • Contributing to day-to-day Cloud Infrastructure work alongside your reliability specialty — infrastructure build-outs, platform backlog, and a shared on-call rotation (1 week out of every 6 weeks)

You'll join the Cloud Infrastructure team and partner with engineering and internal support teams to drive this work.

We support millions of people to improve their financial lives, and this role ensures we can continue to do so reliably and at scale.

ABOUT YOU 🦄

  • You have 5+ years of hands-on cloud or infrastructure engineering experience, with substantial time spent on reliability and production operations at scale
  • You have defined SLIs and SLOs for real production services, and can talk about what changed as a result. What got fixed, what got deprioritized, and what you got wrong the first time
  • You have hands-on experience with an observability platform in production; Datadog strongly preferred
  • You're comfortable writing code (Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar) for internal tooling, production debugging, and automation
  • You write production Terraform and are comfortable in AWS, and when production breaks you can find the problem and fix it
  • You have built or operated a disaster recovery plan: you set the recovery goals, wrote the failover and restore steps, and ran the drills that proved it works
  • You have been on-call for services you helped build, and you have opinions about what makes an alert worth waking someone for
  • You prefer giving teams paved roads and good defaults over mandates, so they can own their own instrumentation

BONUS POINTS 

  • You have led a reliability or observability modernization project where you defined the vision, approach, and delivered the implementation
  • You have built internal tooling, libraries, or instrumentation standards that made it easier for other teams to operate their services well
  • You have run game days, chaos experiments, or DR exercises, and fixed the problems they uncovered
  • You have cut observability spend while keeping the coverage you needed

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
