About Us:
Function was founded with a singular focus: empower you to live 100 healthy years. We’re doing that by using the best available technology to make sure people don't suffer or die a preventable death. Function has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024, and is venture-backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Hundreds of thousands of members have joined Function to take control of their health. We are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health, has a relentless bias toward action and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment, where every day we are building the future.
Role Overview:
The ideal SRE/DevOps engineer is a technically strong, security‑minded problem‑solver who operates production systems with a calm, data‑driven approach, proactively improves tooling, and communicates effectively across teams while continually leveling up their own skills and those of the organization.
Primary Responsibilities:
Automate Software Delivery
  • Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD) that integrate automated testing, security scanning, and one‑click rollback to accelerate safe releases.
Operate Production Infrastructure
  • Provision, configure, and manage secure, highly‑available cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on‑prem environments with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation).
Observe, Troubleshoot & Remediate
  • Instrument systems with metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry); own the on‑call rotation, rapidly diagnose incidents, and drive blameless post‑mortems.
Optimize Performance & Cost
  • Continuously assess latency, capacity, and cloud spend; tune applications and scale containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) to meet SLAs while controlling costs.
Continuously Improve Tooling & Process
  • Research, evaluate, and standardize new tools or practices that boost reliability, security, or developer velocity; automate toil wherever it appears.
Collaborate & Coach
  • Partner with software, QA, and security teams to embed DevOps/SRE best practices; create clear documentation and share operational knowledge.

Must‑Have Skills & Experience:

  • 5–7 years in production SRE/DevOps or related software‑engineering roles, including participation in an on‑call rotation
  • Deep hands‑on expertise with at least one major provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), covering networking, IAM, and managed services
  • Proficient with Terraform (preferred) or similar IaC tooling; experienced in module design, remote state, and policy‑as‑code
  • Proven ability to design declarative pipelines and automate build, test, deploy, and rollback workflows
  • Strong knowledge of Docker image design and Kubernetes operations (Helm, controllers, service meshes)
  • Practical use of monitoring, logging, and tracing stacks; comfortable leading incident bridges and post‑incident analysis
  • Fluency with Git workflows, code review culture, and clear written/verbal communication
  • Proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, or Bash) to automate tasks and build small services
  • Self‑starter who is proactive, curious, and relentlessly focused on eliminating manual toil

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

  • Security or compliance experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)
  • Database operations at scale (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB)
  • Observability platform tuning (Grafana Loki, Elastic, Honeycomb)
  • Relevant certifications (CKA/CKAD, AWS SA‑Pro, Terraform Associate)


To be a strong fit you also need:

  • Bias Toward Action: Demonstrated ability to take initiative, make decisions under uncertainty, and move projects forward even in the face of ambiguity. We value individuals who are self-starters and ready to act on opportunities and challenges alike.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit: Strong adaptability to changing business needs with a knack for building and optimizing processes. Your entrepreneurial mindset will be crucial in navigating the dynamic landscape of our industry, ensuring our platform remains competitive and responsive to user needs.
  • Communication: Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Effective communication is vital for cross-functional collaboration and ensuring alignment across our organization.
  • Remote Work Adaptability: Comfort with remote work environments, demonstrating the ability to stay productive and connected with the team irrespective of physical location.
  • Continuous Improvement: A willingness to question assumptions and a commitment to continuous improvement. Your openness to feedback and dedication to personal and professional growth will contribute significantly to our collective success.
Your dedication to these responsibilities will directly contribute to the success of our platform and the satisfaction of our users. We are looking for a proactive, skilled, and forward-thinking individual to join our team and help shape the future of our services.


We value our team at Function and offer a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working hours, and a dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged. If you are a highly motivated and experienced individual who is passionate about using technology to improve people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.
