Description

Think of this Site Reliability Engineer job as a standing invitation to make Fortive's Microsoft Azure infrastructure faster, simpler, and less scary. Weigh it however you like — the math still lands at $75,000 - $106,000, full-time hours, and a team at Fortive worth joining.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ship the values-led CKA Certification features that move Fortive's technology roadmap forward
  • Build the Python tooling that makes every other Lake Charles engineer faster
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Replace the brittle OpenShift hack with a GitOps solution that survives Lake Charles scale
  • Ship the CKA Certification oddball-friendly rewrite that pays down years of Fortive technical debt
  • Trace a technology number back through Ansible services until it finally adds up
  • Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with GitOps
  • Keep Fortive's CKA Certification dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents

What You'll Bring

  • Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

Plenty of firms claim to do technology; Fortive actually does it, and from Lake Charles no less, with an oddball-friendly stubbornness about quality. We measure Site Reliability Engineer success by problems solved, not hours logged at your Lake Charles, LA desk.

Step into $75,000 - $106,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible full-time rhythm people rarely leave.

This role is in active recruitment, with a target start date just ahead.

We're hiring, and your application could be the one we've been waiting for.
