About this role
Xometry is looking for a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to serve as a senior technical leader within its SRE organization. You'd own the technical strategy and long-term roadmap for infrastructure and platform reliability, architecting solutions across AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD systems while driving major cross-functional initiatives from conception to delivery. This is a hands-on role that balances strategic influence—shaping architectural decisions and mentoring senior engineers—with direct accountability for resolving the organization's most complex technical challenges.
The position requires at least eight years in infrastructure or backend development, with deep expertise in AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and containerization. You should be fluent in Python, Javascript, or Unix Shell and comfortable operating in a high-stakes environment where you'll act as an escalation point for critical issues. Strong communication skills matter here; you'll need to translate technical work clearly for both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
Based in North Bethesda on a hybrid schedule, the role offers a salary of $165,000–$190,000 plus bonus, along with standard benefits including 401(k) match, health insurance, and generous paid time off. This suits someone ready to move beyond individual contribution into strategic leadership while staying deeply technical.
