Senior Software Engineer, Site Reliability
Startups
Software development engineer job in San Francisco, CA
About Us:
Parabola is a workflow builder that makes it easy to organize and transform messy data from anywhere-even PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets-so that forward-thinking teams can automate the work they thought would always be manual.
Teams at fast-moving companies like Brooklinen, On Running, and Flexport use Parabola to save hundreds of hours and finally take on the projects that used to feel out of reach. Whether it's reconciling inventory across multiple 3PLs, auditing invoices, or manually exporting the same report every Monday, Parabola gives teams the power to automate it-all without needing engineering support.
Parabola is backed by OpenView Partners, Matrix Partners, Thrive Capital and more.
About the role:
As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on our rapidly growing team, you'll measure how well our software is working, and from that baseline propel us towards high impact improvements that our customers value. Given our small team, your work might span performance, developer experience, security & compliance, and foundational architecture work. You'll also be on‑call and will improve our technical operations, learning as we go.
What you'll be doing:
Monitoring our core business‑logic software, both via on‑call and in non‑urgent situations: describing its existing behavior and defining SLOs or SLAs that get us (you and we) to respond.
Extending and monitoring our infrastructure stack. Because we are B2B, we have fewer raw users, but their usage is often business‑critical and we need the infrastructure for that.
Maintaining both a mental and a reified model of our systems: from this model, estimating risk, planning projects, and debugging efficiently.
Collaborating with our engineering team and company leadership from your unique lens on site reliability - being vocal and clear in your expertise in this specialization.
Working on our core orchestration logic that determines how to efficiently run tens of thousands of workflows at the same time - we recently rebuilt our orchestrator on top of Temporal and we love it!
Advising many parallel major backend engineering projects, both early in planning and through release. Join such projects for building from time‑to‑time.
Optimizing our services for scalability, stability, and observability as our customer base grows and our product becomes more sophisticated.
Improving our developer experience in tactical ways, and improving our overall engineering processes and practices more broadly, especially given the opportunities & pressures of LLM coding agents.
What (we think) you'll need to do it:
5+ years of SRE, DevOps, or Platform engineering experience
A proven record of building efficient, performant, and easy to extend systems.
Has maintained quantitative metrics of site reliability, while also demonstrating judgment about appropriate strictness for SLOs & SLAs. Given our team size, the expectations are somewhat less formal and mature than many SRE teams have; you will both strengthen our approach, but also navigate tradeoffs.
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and how they interact with backend services, and with Linux.
Experience implementing and managing AWS infrastructure.
You're not afraid to ask for help, and you're happy to give it, too.
You're an enthusiastic communicator and you like working with a team that provides both mutual support and thoughtful critique.
You're excited to join a hybrid team and work out of our NYC or SF office ~3 days a week.
Nice to haves:
Experience with Temporal.
Experience building AI platforms, or the tooling and systems behind AI products.
Familiarity with Kubernetes/Helm (we use Amazon EKS).
Experience implementing and deploying infrastructure‑as‑a‑service (IaaS) tools to manage production cloud environments.
Experience managing CI/CD pipeline for multiple environments, and developer experience more broadly.
Experience building cloud storage or data modeling products.
Experience working at early stage startups.
Salary Range:
$180,000 - $200,000
This salary range represents the minimum and maximum for this role based in San Francisco and New York. The salary given for this position is dependent on multiple factors, including years of experience, interview performance and anticipated responsibilities of the role.

Staff Software Engineer, Site Reliability
Asana 4.6
Software development engineer job in San Francisco, CA
Asana's rapid growth brings new challenges in keeping our systems fast, reliable, and resilient. As our product evolves, we're making a major investment in reliability - and building a brand new SRE team in Warsaw is a key part of that strategy. This is your chance to help shape it from day one.
This isn't a traditional “ops” role - we're looking for strong softwareengineers who are passionate about building reliable, distributed systems. You'll work closely with a small SRE team in San Francisco, infrastructure engineers in Reykjavik, and an established infrastructure team in Warsaw. Warsaw will be a significant hub for our future infrastructure engineering and operations. As one of the first engineers here, you'll have a real say in how we build reliable infrastructure, manage incidents, and support the rest of the company.
This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office‑centric hybrid schedule - in‑office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.
What you'll do:
Influence the future of Asana's SRE practice, especially as we grow the Warsaw team.
Lead reliability‑focused projects across our stack - from infrastructure to tooling to incident response.
Define and implement Asana's incident management process - we're investing here, and you'll help shape how it works.
Build internal platforms and frameworks that help other teams improve the reliability of their services.
Be part of (and help shape) a sustainable on‑call rotation - shared across teams in Warsaw, San Francisco, and Reykjavik. On average, we handle ~1 page per day, but it's not constant, and we care about keeping things sane.
Work with our stack: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Datadog, MySQL (RDS), ElasticSearch (OpenSearch), Redis, DynamoDB, Terraform, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo - but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.)
About you:
You're a strong and experienced softwareengineer who's comfortable writing and reading code - this isn't an ops role.
You care about reliability, scalability, and long‑term maintainability, not just quick fixes.
You might have worked as an SRE before - or maybe you were a product engineer who kept getting pulled into infra work because you cared about how systems actually run.
You've seen systems at scale (or want to), and you're excited about solving infrastructure problems that have broad impact.
You're curious, take initiative, and aren't afraid to work in ambiguous spaces - especially important on a brand new team.
You collaborate well across teams and want to help others build more reliable systems.
You don't need to know our exact stack, but you're eager to learn whatever it takes to make things better.
You demonstrate curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision‑making.
Why this role?
Founding team: You'll be one of the first SREs in Warsaw - and a key player in a growing team.
Drive real change: This isn't a role where you'll just patch up legacy systems. We are expecting (and supporting) real architectural changes to improve reliability, scalability, and long‑term operability.
Big impact: Our product is scaling fast, and reliability is a top company priority.
Room to grow: As this team grows, so will your influence - whether you want to lead projects, mentor others, or help shape how we scale.
Global collaboration: Work closely with experienced engineers in San Francisco, Reykjavik, and Warsaw, while helping build the future of SRE at Asana.
What we offer:
Generous, transparent and fair compensation system (base salary and generous Restricted Stock Unit for Asana Inc.).
Contract of Employment (with 50% tax deductible costs for author's rights usage for Engineers).
Health insurance with dental and travel coverage (Lux Med).
Lunch catering on the days that you work from the office.
Career growth budget.
Home office setup budget.
Gym/Fitness reimbursement.
Fertility healthcare and family‑forming support with Carrot.
Mental health support in Modern Health.
Group life insurance.
MacBooks with all necessary accessories.
For this role, the estimated base salary range is between 23 000 and 33 000 PLN gross monthly on the contract of employment (UoP). The actual base salary will vary based on various factors and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process. The listed range above is a guideline, and the base compensation range for this role may be modified.
Our total compensation consists of base salary and equity (RSUs).
About us
Asana is a leading platform for human + AI collaboration. Millions of teams around the world rely on Asana to achieve their most important goals, faster. Asana has been named to Fortune's Best Workplaces for 7+ years and recognized by Fast Company, Forbes, and Gartner for excellence in workplace culture and innovation.
