Job description

The Enterprise Infrastructure SRE team is looking for a seasoned Sr. Site Reliability Engineer to enhance the reliability, automation, and observability of data center and network infrastructure. This role involves bridging network operations and data center facility infrastructure with a strong emphasis on uptime and user experience. The engineer will minimize manual toil through automation and lead high-impact projects while mentoring peers. A focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence is essential in this position.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), network operations, or data center infrastructure management across highly distributed, large-scale environments
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Go, or Shell scripting, combined with configuration management frameworks like Salt or Ansible
  • Deep production experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager, and Splunk for enterprise metrics and logging
  • Strong SQL skills (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and a proven track record of consuming and building RESTful APIs to integrate infrastructure tooling
  • Advanced Linux system fundamentals paired with hands-on experience provisioning, troubleshooting, and managing bare-metal enterprise server architectures
  • Deep understanding of TCP/UDP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, EVPN, VxLAN, Segment Routing, and load balancing
  • Experience managing enterprise hardware vendors like Arista Networks, Juniper Networks, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and F5 load balancers
  • Practical knowledge of out-of-band management (IPMI), PDU architecture, and data center physical cooling systems

Responsibilities

  • Scale observability, logging, and alerting systems using Grafana, Splunk, and Prometheus
  • Design visualization tools that connect server health, network telemetry, and facility power/cooling performance across fragmented data sources
  • Write complex SQL and SPL queries to analyze infrastructure trends and isolate production bottlenecks
  • Develop robust automation scripts and tooling to handle hardware incident triage and alert noise reduction
  • Maintain and scale Netbox inventory systems, building automated API pipelines to track physical layout and device lifecycles
  • Create and maintain high-quality runbooks, KB articles, and SOPs to enable bot-assisted incident resolution
  • Participate in high-severity infrastructure on-call rotations, directing rapid triage and root cause analysis for anomalies
  • Collaborate with architecture, deployment, hardware engineering, and facility operations teams to ensure new implementations are supportable and monitored
  • Continuously monitor network and infrastructure performance to execute sustainability and optimization changes

Benefits

  • Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
