Position Title Sr. Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineering
Chick-fil-A Corporate, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 30383
Overview
At Chick-fil-A, Site Reliability Engineering is a technical function which mixes in influence. Across our 3000+ North American stores, cloud, and private data centers, SREs work with our DevOps teams to introduce and hone SRE principles, establish reliability goals, and develop tooling for operational observability. We are a small team working through many different patterns to bring observability to everyone. SREs at Chick-fil-A collaborate across teams and roles, feed learnings back into the organization, and learn all the ways technology is used along the way. The team is focused on tooling and enablement rather than traditional SRE roles.
Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
