Job Description

Springshot is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer. The Springshot Mission The Springshot Mission isn't a cliché or a bunch of empty words plastered on a wall. It's the very essence of who we are and how we operate. At Springshot, we believe in people. We believe in humanity. We are futurists and technologists who highly value the roles that AI and robotics will progressively play in our lives. Yet, we believe the most valuable form of intelligence is human and the most important actor is the human being. We’re living through a new industrial revolution. One that is transforming the very nature of work and the relationship between human worker and machine. As companies providing services in aviation, logistics, municipal services and other physically demanding sectors rely further upon automation and robots to perform physical tasks, the human workers who remain are overwhelmed. An inverse relationship is growing between the quantity of tasks performed by human workers and the significance of each individual task. Technology is subsidizing many mundane tasks performed previously by human workers, but it increasingly relies upon human beings to make crucial judgment calls and perform critical tasks that are beyond the capabilities of today’s systems and machines. Systems have become so tightly wound that even the smallest human misstep could be catastrophic. It’s never been more important to ensure tight alignment between technical systems and the human workers who use them. Springshot lives at this intersection between technology and humanity. We are manically driven to build and support beautiful software that meaningfully connects our user community with their peers, surroundings and companion technologies. We assimilate and simplify the complex. We strive to provide our users with easy-to-use web and mobile interfaces that present the right information at the right time so they can make the right decision or take the right physical action, including through robotics and autonomous machines. We are passionate about augmenting the mental and physical capabilities of our user community and doing so within a welcoming digital ecosystem that enhances their mental wellbeing. Our internal culture parallels our user experience. Many of us have worked together for years. We’re particular about our culture and core beliefs. We work hard to maintain an inclusive, welcoming, patient and kind workplace that allows everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, to positively contribute and perform at their best. If you’re self-motivated, service minded and seek a nurturing environment that provides you with autonomy to do your best work, you’ll enjoy being a part of our crew.

Expertise in monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack or Splunk. Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to analyze and resolve complex technical issues. Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams. Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

An attractive and competitive benefits package. Stock options. A flexible work from home policy. While we prefer candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area who are interested in collaborating with us in person from time-to-time in our San Francisco headquarters, you can work from anywhere.
