San Francisco, US · Full-time · $160,000 – $180,000

About this role

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy, verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. We are hiring exceptional Site Reliability Engineers who take pride in building and operating mission-critical, production-grade systems.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, and observability, with a strong focus on preventing incidents rather than reacting to them. You will own what you build, thrive in high-pressure environments, and continuously raise the reliability and operational bar.

You will join a team that moves fast, thinks critically, acts like owners, and cares deeply about solving customer problems with precision. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself, you will find significant growth and ownership opportunities here.
