Site Reliability Engineer

Our Site Reliability Engineer role in Cincinnati, OH is a chance to build Decision Making infrastructure from a clean slate, which at DE Shaw happens rarely and matters enormously. The headline is $47,000 - $70,000, but the story is ownership — technology work you steer at DE Shaw after just 1 years.

Key Responsibilities

• Decide when to buy Microsoft Azure versus build it for DE Shaw's Cincinnati, OH stack
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from DE Shaw stakeholders into shippable CI/CD services
• Design PostgreSQL APIs other Cincinnati, OH teams will still thank you for next year
• Own a technology service end to end, from Microsoft Azure schema to on-call rotation
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that DE Shaw users feel every click

What You'll Bring

• Solid Microsoft Azure grounding, plus Critical Thinking you can pick up on the fly
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Comfort with a DE Shaw pace that rarely sits still
• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback

DE Shaw doesn't chase headlines; it just keeps building the fun-loving technology backbone that Cincinnati, OH runs on. We keep the Cincinnati, OH office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Microsoft Azure work actually gets a fighting chance.

We trade fair $47,000 - $70,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.
