Site Reliability Engineer

Department: Accelerator Technology

Location: West Valley City, UT

Employment Type: FullTime

Position Summary

The Site Reliability Engineer supports the deployment and operation of Linux-based, containerized microservice clusters that power a state-of-the-art particle accelerator used for medical radioisotope production supporting cancer care, scientific research, and advanced technology applications. This role works directly with physical accelerator systems, where software reliability, infrastructure resilience, and real-time data availability are critical to continuous operations.

Reporting to the Director of CSEE, the Site Reliability Engineer collaborates closely with engineers and scientists to integrate software and hardware systems responsible for accelerator control, data acquisition, and data management. This hands-on role focuses on automation, observability, and operational stability within an on-premise production environment, helping ensure reliable platform operations and secure storage, monitoring, and retrieval of accelerator time-series and imaging data essential to system performance.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do:

• Respond to and resolve production issues and outages under the guidance of senior team members

• Support observability initiatives by implementing and maintaining monitoring dashboards and alerting systems

• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code scripts, automation tools, system images, virtual machines, and containers to support accelerator operations

• Assist in identifying and documenting system vulnerabilities and potential points of failure

• Document processes, procedures, and troubleshooting steps in the group knowledge base

• Deploy and configure vendor-supplied software utilities and packages built on the EPICS framework

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field

• 3-5 years of professional experience in a DevOps/SRE capacity

• Proficiency in deploying and configuring containers and container orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes)
