Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Largely's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to users' needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE’s will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance. Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation.
On the SRE team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Largely, while using your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design.
SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Largely platforms, we make Largely's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
At Largely, we believe people have skills, capabilities and talents beyond their CVs or LinkedIn profiles. We are a collective of problem solvers, creatives, technologists, parents, sports fans, artists, foodies, life-long learners and empathetic humans who work together to solve problems in the talent world. We love conversations, connections, cold brew and solving complex problems to improve the human experience.

In our first office we lost heat during one of the coldest days of the year. To try and keep warm we put on the Yule Log stream and cranked our CPUs to warm our fingers. It didn't work super well 😅
We had been working at home for 2 years during COVID and once things settled down we wanted to get together in person more often. Since we didn't have an office space yet we just hung out at City Foundry all the time. We quickly became minor celebrities there.

I recently took PTO to head down to Florida with my parents and sister. My dad and I played a round of golf, the first in a while. I had a nice birdie on 15 thanks to a lucky chip in! We relaxed, had some nice dinners, and put our feet up on the beach. It was a nice family trip with my sister moving off to Clemson for her PHD.

The best way to celebrate the Cardinals opening day at Busch Stadium is to be invited to a client's celebration and see all the amazing people we work with. This year was a bit cold, so we grabbed two beers each to warm up quickly.
