Jahnel Group’s mission is to provide the absolute best environment for software creators to pursue their passion by connecting them with great clients doing meaningful work. We get to build some of the most complex and compelling applications for our clients located across the country.

We’re a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company, yet we still work as a very close-knit team (100+ employees). We’re growing like crazy, and if you’re looking for the next place to call home, hit us up for a beer or coffee.

Who We're Looking For

We’re looking for a Senior Site Reliability & Security Engineer to take ownership of all things infrastructure, reliability, and security for a major client in the technology space. This person will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, availability, scalability, performance, and security of complex distributed systems.

You’ll serve as the top infrastructure and security engineer on the team — driving automation, refining DevOps practices, and ensuring the platform meets enterprise-grade standards of uptime and protection.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves optimizing systems, designing for scale, and building a strong foundation for future growth.

Primary Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain infrastructure for high-availability applications.
Lead efforts around system reliability, scalability, and performance tuning.
Develop and implement automation strategies for provisioning, deployment, and monitoring.
Ensure security best practices are implemented across environments (network, data, access).
Define and manage Terraform templates and Azure infrastructure.
Collaborate with engineering teams to support development, deployment, and operational needs.
Proactively identify bottlenecks, risks, and security vulnerabilities — and fix them before they impact users.

Some Must-Haves:

5+ years of experience in Site Reliability, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering.
Strong expertise in Azure and Terraform.
Proven experience managing security, monitoring, and automation in production environments.
Solid understanding of networking, cloud security, and infrastructure scaling.
Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell).
Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal).

Nice to Have:

Experience in compliance-heavy or regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal, etc.).
Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
Familiarity with incident response, threat detection, or vulnerability management.

Where We're Looking For It:

Schenectady, New York

Other Information

The work hours will be approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST, depending on workload, with the occasional late night when a tight deadline calls for it. We work for security-conscious clients, thus background checks will be required.
