About the role

As a Senior SRE Engineer, you’ll join the founding SRE team for New Goodnotes, our next-generation flagship product. You’ll own its operational quality: how reliably it runs, how well it performs, how early we spot problems, and how effectively we recover when things go wrong.

You’ll work closely with Product and Platform Engineers to set reliability goals and deliver improvements across infrastructure and application code. From investigating a production incident to fixing the underlying failure mode, you’ll take changes through to production and verify that they make the system better.

You’ll also help build an agentic approach to SRE from the ground up. Our ambition is “hands-free” SRE: agents handle most routine operations, investigation and recovery, bringing in humans when judgment or intervention is needed. You’ll build the tools, execution environment and runbooks that make this possible, progressively expanding what agents can reliably do.

This is an opportunity to shape a new team, establish its engineering practices, and show how a small team can operate a major product with agents doing much of the heavy lifting.

This is the role for you, if you’re excited to work on the things listed below:

- Owning operational quality: Define availability, reliability and performance objectives with the engineering teams. Use service-level objectives and error budgets to guide priorities and measure improvements.

- Building observability that drives action: Develop instrumentation, dashboards and actionable alerts that reveal emerging problems early and help explain their impact on users.

- Engineering lasting improvements: Investigate failure modes and make changes to application code, infrastructure and architecture that improve resilience, performance and recoverability.
