[Hiring] Site Reliability Engineer @Dayforce

Role Description

Site Reliability Engineers at Dayforce bridge the gap between software engineering and operations, enabling faster feature delivery while maintaining high standards of reliability, scalability, and availability.

You’ll be joining Dayforce’s growing SRE team, where we apply established SRE principles and engagement models to support our mission-critical platforms. Our focus is on building reliable systems through automation, strong engineering practices, and proactive monitoring—reducing toil and preventing issues before they impact customers.

In this role, you’ll help design and maintain internal tooling that monitors, alerts, and in some cases autonomously remediates our environments. You’ll collaborate closely with development teams, contribute to platform reliability initiatives, and play a key role in incident response and continuous improvement.

For the first two months, this role will align with North American working hours to support onboarding and knowledge transfer. After this period, you’ll move to standard UK working hours.

What you’ll get to do

• Develop a strong understanding of Dayforce’s cloud infrastructure and application ecosystem.
• Support onboarding of new services, ensuring they meet Production Readiness Review standards.
• Drive reliability improvements, automate operational tasks, and reduce manual toil.
• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and remediation activities.
• Create and maintain runbooks and reusable operational components.
• Contribute to our inner-source SRE repositories and shared tooling.
• Build trusted relationships across engineering, product, and operations teams.
• Take part in a shared PagerDuty on-call rotation.

Qualifications

• A proactive, curious engineer with a strong desire to learn and improve systems.
• 2–4 years’ experience in SRE, Systems Administration, Infrastructure, or Software Engineering roles.
• Experience with at least one object-oriented programming language (C# or Java preferred).
• Experience with at least one scripting language (Python or PowerShell preferred).
• Experience working with relational databases and query languages (MSSQL/T-SQL or PostgreSQL/PL-SQL preferred).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Familiarity with containerisation, Kubernetes, or Terraform is a plus, but not required.

Benefits

• Excellent time away from work programs.
• Comprehensive wellness initiatives.
• Recognition through competitive pay and benefits.
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• Community impact initiatives, including volunteer days and charity opportunities through Dayforce Cares.
