Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
About Sonio
Each year, 140M children are born. Birth defects affect 1 in 33 births in developed countries, and in 50% of cases, they are not detected during prenatal examinations. Prenatal medicine is particularly complex, and the scans impose heavy responsibilities on healthcare professionals. They can also be a source of stress for future parents.
Resulting from 5 years of collaboration between world-renowned experts from Necker Hospital and Ecole Polytechnique, Sonio uses artificial intelligence to improve prenatal screening and diagnosis. Based on patented algorithms and a proprietary expert database, Sonio aims to become the reference tool to help practitioners improve screening, reduce diagnostic errors, and optimize pregnant women’s medical path.
Sonio's mission is to improve women's and children's health by promoting access and quality of care through technological innovation, medical expertise, and collective intelligence.
About the role
As our first SRE & first engineer in the US, you will own the platform’s stability and releases, especially during PST hours.
You are the perfect "bridge" profile: part system administrator, part software engineer. You don't just manage infrastructure; you understand the code running on it. You will operate with high autonomy, making critical decisions during incidents and ensuring that our production environment is state-of-the-art, secure, and resilient.
You’ll report to our Lead DevOps Engineer, Pierre, and your main mission will be:
• Own US coverage for releases and incidents as the first responder during PST hours.
• Bridge infra and code by working hand-in-hand with our DevOps team on Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS, while being able to read and patch Elixir code to unblock yourself without waiting for a backend engineer.
• Drive incident response end-to-end, managing triage, mitigation, and blameless post-mortems with real follow-through.
• Improve the platform’s operability by defining SLOs, tuning alerts to reduce toil, and pushing observability (metrics, logs, tracing) where it’s lacking.
• Transfer operational knowledge from France to the US by authoring runbooks and documenting procedures so local teams are empowered to act when something breaks.
• Support compliance and security in our regulated medical-device environment, maintaining HIPAA-aligned controls and an audit-ready infrastructure.
About the profile
Sonio is a mission-driven company, so interest in our mission is critical. Other requirements are:
• 4+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Production Engineering, including significant on-call experience on a 24/7 product
• You possess a hybrid "code-literate" mindset, acting as an infrastructure expert who can also navigate a backend codebase to triage and patch issues independently.
• You bring strong technical foundations in Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS, along with the ability to architect and tune your own observability signals.
• You are highly autonomous and comfortable making technical decisions with limited supervision, which is essential given the timezone difference with France.
• You maintain operational rigor and stay calm under pressure, with the written English skills necessary to produce high-quality runbooks and handle async handoffs.
Location: where you can cover for PST timezone (not necessarily only in the US)
Salary: $165,000 -190,000 + 10% bonus
Benefits:
⚕️Health Insurance (Medical plan, vision, dental) - up to 30,000$ per year + FSA & HSA
401(k) - up 4% of your salary matched
⛑️ Life Insurance - covering 2 times your salary, up to $200k
An attractive Parental Policy for primary and secondary caregivers
️ 20 PTO + 1 week offered between Christmas and New Year
️ Offices in Boston (HQ) & New York (incl. free breakfast, drinks & gym)
⏰ Flexible hours & remote policies
Commuter Benefits
✈️ One offsite per year in France & regular team building with US team
Ongoing trainings and continuous opportunities for professional growth and development, specifically unlimited access to coaching
We move fast and aspire to be transparent over the process - our objective is that the process from the first chat to an offer is no longer than a month. We also aspire to give an answer to every application in a week - if you have not heard from us, please follow up at [email protected].
