The Role
We’re hiring a Senior SRE to own the reliability, scalability, and performance of our production systems as we continue to grow.
At Lyrebird, you won’t just respond to incidents. You’ll design the systems and standards that prevent them. That means building infrastructure that scales cleanly, creating deployment patterns that reduce risk, and ensuring we can detect and resolve issues before they impact users.
This is a broad role that sits across platform engineering, DevOps, and security. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our systems are resilient under load, observable in real time, and able to scale as usage increases.
You’ll play a key role in how we get code from a developer’s machine into production safely, and how we operate those systems once they’re live.
About UsLyrebird Health builds AI-powered tools that reduce the administrative burden on clinicians and improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare.
Our platform is used by thousands of clinicians across multiple markets. As we grow, we’re focused on building systems that are reliable, scalable, and trusted in high-stakes environments.
