À propos de ce poste Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Developer Experience chez Dimensional Fund Advisors
Job Description:
About Dimensional:
Dimensional was built around a set of ideas bigger than the firm itself. With a confidence in markets, deep connections to the academic community, and a focus on implementation, we go where the science leads, and continue to pursue new insights, both large and small, that can benefit our clients.
The Technology Department at Dimensional leverages the rapidly evolving state of the art to engineer scalable, innovative, and research driven solutions to improve our client’s financial lives.
The Platform Engineers at Dimensional are focused on leading, designing and developing the platform and services that underpin all of all Dimensional’ s applications and business processes across a variety of technical domains. Services that support the software development process are key components of the platform, as they provide our engineering teams with tools, processes, and infrastructure to develop software for our business.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior SRE to serve as the operations owner for the developer tooling ecosystem that shapes how engineers work day to day, including Python and .NET toolchains and IDEs. This is a hybrid role balancing steady-state operations and engineering work that meaningfully advances the tooling and the people who depend on them.
This role suits someone who is genuinely motivated by the pursuit of excellence – someone who takes pride in the products and services they own and is always looking for the next opportunity to raise the bar, whether that means eliminating a friction point in the local development experience or building automation that lets developers focus on code rather than tooling.
What You’ll Work On:
Operations & Reliability
Serve as a primary escalation point for production support across each of the developer tooling ecosystems
Own the operational reliability of developer tooling ecosystems, including Python toolchains (uv, Poetry, etc.), .NET SDKs, and IDE configurations and extensions
Monitor product and service health and performance, proactively identifying and addressing issues before they impact developer productivity
Maintain and continuously improve runbooks, escalation procedures, and operational documentation
Collaborate with security to harden developer tooling configurations and manage software vulnerabilities
Contribute to on-call rotations and maintain runbooks and escalation procedures
Platform Engineering
Create and maintain standardized developer tooling configurations and distribution mechanisms – making it easy for engineers to get started, stay current, and stay unblocked
Lead or contribute to developer experience initiatives, using data (build times, pipeline success rates, time-to-first-commit) to identify the highest impact friction points and build solutions that address them at scale
Participate in architecture reviews and contribute to the overall platform roadmap
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, or developer tooling-focused role
Solid understanding of Python ecosystem tooling – dependency management (Poetry, uv), virtual environments, and packaging
Familiarity with .NET development tooling and SDK management in an enterprise environment
Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar)
A track record of not just operating products and services but evolving them
Strong communication skills and genuinely interested in partnering with developers across the organization
Demonstrated ability to drive incidents to resolution and communicate clearly under pressure
A bias toward automation and a low tolerance for repetitive manual work
Nice to Have:
Experience leveraging SDLC platforms to deliver software solutions
Experience building or maintaining internal developer portals or self-service tooling
Exposure to IDE plugin or extension management at scale (VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio)
Experience with developer experience metric frameworks
Familiarity with container-based build environments or ephemeral CI runners
