Job description
Why Socure? Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day. We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.
We are hiring exceptional Site Reliability Engineers who take pride in building and operating mission-critical, production-grade systems. This role is for engineers who own what they build, thrive in high-pressure environments, and continuously raise the reliability and operational bar.

- Hands-on experience operating Amazon EKS in production environments
- Experience troubleshooting complex, multi-layer Kubernetes issues
Coding & Automation
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code in: Go/ Python
- Strong automation mindset — eliminating toil through code
CI/CD & GitOps
- Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with:
- GitHub (Actions or integrations)

- Alerting, dashboards, and incident detection
- Experience defining and using SLIs/SLOs to drive reliability decisions
