What are the responsibilities and job description for the Site Reliability Engineer Contract position at C-Serv?
Site Reliability Engineer II
San Fran Bay · Hybrid · 24/7 FedRAMP Operations · Rotational Shift · Initial Contract till March 27.
KEY REQUIREMENT
This role requires US citizenship and residence on US soil. It sits within a FedRAMP Moderate-authorised environment, so FedRAMP suitability and US-soil-only eligibility are non-negotiable, not preferred.
Eyes on glass. Hands on the pipeline. Real ownership from day one.
This isn't a watch-and-wait monitoring seat. Our client needs engineers who can read a Kibana query at 3am, know the difference between a blip and a breach, and act on it, on a FedRAMP-authorised cloud platform that genuinely can't afford downtime. If you're a couple of years into SRE or cloud support and want your next role to open doors into FedRAMP and GovCloud work, this is a strong place to build that experience.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
· Real-time monitoring and first-response triage. Across AWS (Commercial/GovCloud) and EKS infrastructure.
· Log-level root cause investigation. In Kibana and Elasticsearch, you'll actually dig, not just escalate.
· CVE remediation and STIG hardening. On your patch, within FedRAMP SLA windows.
· Deployment execution and troubleshooting. Through GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Argo Workflows.
· 3 years in SRE, DevOps, systems administration, or cloud support.
· Solid Linux administration (RHEL, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu) and comfort with bash/Python scripting.
· Working knowledge of Kubernetes/EKS, AWS core services, and L4/L7 load balancing troubleshooting.
· Prometheus, Grafana, and ChatOps-via-Slack experience.
· US citizenship and US-soil residency, with genuine availability for overnight/weekend rotational shifts. This is non-negotiable.
WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US
· A defined engagement. Mid-September through end of March, with clear shift expectations up front.
· Competitive W2 hourly rate. $60–$90/hr, with overnight/weekend shift premium built in, DOE.
· A genuine reference point. For FedRAMP/GovCloud experience on your CV, and a real stepping stone toward Senior SRE.
· Real support. From a delivery partner that treats contractors like people, not headcount.
