Job Summary
Drata's SRE team operates as both a central engineering function and an embedded reliability practice. You'll be part of a close-knit SRE team where you grow your career, shape standards, and collaborate with peers - while also serving as the dedicated reliability partner for one of Drata's product engineering teams across the full lifecycle of their work. This is a highly technical role at the intersection of software engineering and systems engineering. The best SREs at Drata are engineers first: they solve problems by building solutions, not by executing manual processes. Automation is a core value, and nowhere is that more visible than in how we approach reliability. Our infrastructure runs on AWS across multiple accounts, defined entirely in Terraform. You'll work across a modern cloud-native stack to help Drata scale reliably for a rapidly growing customer base.
What You’ll Do
Reliability Architecture for Your Product Team:
You are the reliability expert for your aligned product team. You engage early - during architecture reviews and design discussions - to surface risks before they become incidents.
- Lead Production Readiness Reviews (PRRs) before new services launch, with the authority to flag gaps and gate launches when critical reliability standards aren't met
- Partner with product engineering leads and staff engineers to define SLOs and SLIs for critical services, turning reliability from a vague goal into a measurable commitment
- Participate in team planning and architecture reviews to provide proactive reliability guidance
- Build reusable artifacts - SLO templates, observability checklists, alerting standards, reference dashboards - that raise the reliability floor across the team, not just the services you touch directly
Eliminating Toil Through Engineering:
You handle operational needs from your product team, but your job isn't to be a help desk. Your goal is to make each request the last of its kind. When an engineer needs something, your priority is: automate it so anyone can do it → document it so the team can self-serve → execute it manually only as a last resort.
- Build and maintain Datadog monitors, dashboards, and alert routing - enforcing infrastructure-as-code standards via Terraform so those resources are owned, versioned, and auditable
- Handle infrastructure requests: ECS task management, secret rotations, Terraform changes, capacity adjustments
- Identify repeated manual work and convert it into self-service tooling or runbooks
- Audit existing services for reliability anti-patterns and surface top risks before they cause incidents
Central SRE Platform Work:
Beyond your product team, you contribute to cross-cutting infrastructure, tooling, and standards that benefit every team at Drata. Recent examples include automated Datadog governance workflows, dynamic AWS account provisioning, and disaster recovery exercises.
- Design and build shared platform infrastructure - reusable Terraform modules, standardized observability stacks, service templates - so reliability improvements compound across the organization
- Participate in the on-call rotation and lead incident response when needed; conduct thorough post-incident reviews to drive lasting fixes
- Design and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
- Contribute to evolving SRE standards, tooling, and practices across the organization
What You'll Bring
- 6+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or building and maintaining scalable, resilient services
- Robust knowledge of cloud computing technologies: Terraform, Docker, Git, and Linux
- Hands-on experience with Datadog for monitoring, alerting, dashboards, SLO tracking, and distributed tracing
- Experience building software systems as a software engineer
- Experience developing tooling and automation in Python and/or Bash
- Experience with CI/CD pipeline automation, specifically GitHub Actions
- Experience with disaster recovery practices and incident management
- Strong understanding of observability concepts - monitoring, logging, distributed tracing, and metrics - and how to apply them to production systems
- Experience with container orchestration and deployment technologies including AWS ECS Fargate and/or Kubernetes
- Experience working with relational databases (MySQL proficiency is a plus)
- Ability to take ownership of problems and act on them independently in a constantly evolving environment
Nice To Have
- Experience with AIOps - using AI/ML-based tooling for anomaly detection, predictive alerting, or automated incident triage
- Familiarity with the reliability characteristics of AI/ML-backed services (e.g., LLM inference latency, non-determinism, prompt pipeline observability)
- Experience with the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
AI Experience (required - at least one of the following):
- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate automation, scripting, or infrastructure work
- Demonstrated use of AI/AIOps capabilities for reliability tasks - anomaly detection, incident triage, runbook generation, or alert noise reduction
- Familiarity with the operational characteristics of AI/ML-backed services and what it means to make them observable and reliable in production
- Demonstrated passion for AI through personal projects, contributions, or continuous learning in the context of infrastructure or reliability engineering
How We Support You
At Drata, our people are our strongest advantage—and we prove it with support that exceeds industry standards. Our total rewards package is designed to power your well-being, accelerate your growth, and keep your work-life balance thriving. Explore how we invest in your Life at Drata.
- Shared Success: We provide stock equity to ensure that as the company grows, you share directly in that success. Equity gives every employee a sense of ownership and the opportunity to celebrate our wins together—because your contributions don’t just support our progress; they help drive our collective success.
- Health & Wellness: Up to 100% employer-paid premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their dependents, along with comprehensive wellness benefits and healthcare concierge services designed to support your needs beyond traditional insurance.
- Financial Well-Being: A comprehensive suite of financial benefits, including a 401(k) plan, company-paid life and disability insurance, tax-advantaged spending accounts, and a range of discounted voluntary offerings to help you customize and strengthen your overall financial position.
- Family Support: We want to support you in life's most important moments, so we offer a paid Parental Leave policy, after six months of employment. Employees also receive access to Kindbody fertility and family-building benefits and dedicated leave specialists who help guide you through the entire process.

This role will receive a competitive base salary, benefits, and stock, typically in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The applicable salary range for this role is: $166,900 - $225,900.
A variety of factors are considered when determining someone’s leveling and compensation–including a candidate’s professional background and experience. These ranges may be modified in the future and final offer amounts may vary from the amounts listed above.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Drata Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target engineering and security roles first
Drata's core product is compliance automation, so its sponsorship activity tends to concentrate in technical disciplines. Focus your applications on software engineering, security, and product roles where H-1B sponsorship is most commonly extended.
Understand Drata's compliance-first culture
Drata helps companies achieve SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance. Candidates who can demonstrate familiarity with security frameworks or GRC concepts will stand out, even in non-security roles, because the domain context matters across teams.
Engage with Drata's technical content before applying
Drata publishes resources on compliance and security automation. Reading their content signals genuine interest and equips you to speak their language during interviews, a meaningful differentiator when competing for a limited number of sponsored positions.
Apply early in Drata's hiring cycles
Sponsorship decisions are made early in the offer process. Because Drata sponsors selectively, getting into the pipeline ahead of peak hiring periods improves your chances before sponsored headcount is allocated elsewhere.
Be transparent about your visa situation upfront
Drata sponsors H-1B visas, so confirming your status early helps recruiters route you correctly. Avoiding ambiguity about your authorization timeline builds trust and prevents mismatches late in the process.
Use a verified job board to find open roles
Not every job listing accurately reflects sponsorship availability. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, making it easier to confirm Drata is actively hiring before you invest time in applying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Drata sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Drata sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying roles. The company has an established track record of supporting international candidates in technical positions, though sponsorship is selective rather than broad. Applicants should confirm sponsorship availability directly with Drata's recruiting team for the specific role they are targeting, as not every open position will include sponsorship.
Which roles at Drata are most likely to receive visa sponsorship?
Sponsorship at Drata is most commonly associated with technical roles in software engineering, product development, and security. These functions align directly with Drata's compliance automation platform. Candidates in adjacent roles such as data engineering or technical program management may also be eligible, but sponsorship is more consistently available for core engineering positions.
How do I find open visa-sponsored jobs at Drata?
The most reliable approach is to search Migrate Mate, which tracks verified sponsorship history and surfaces roles at companies like Drata that have an established record of sponsoring international candidates. This helps you avoid applying to listings where sponsorship is listed as possible but not confirmed, saving significant time in your job search.
What is the H-1B sponsorship timeline I should expect when applying to Drata?
If Drata extends an offer requiring H-1B sponsorship, the process typically begins with the employer filing a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, followed by an H-1B petition to USCIS. For cap-subject candidates, this means aligning your offer timeline with the annual H-1B lottery in March. Cap-exempt candidates, such as those already holding H-1B status, can begin sooner. Build at least several months of lead time into your expectations.
How competitive is it to get sponsored by Drata compared to larger tech companies?
Drata is a growth-stage company, which means it sponsors selectively compared to large enterprise technology firms that file at high volumes each year. This makes individual applications more competitive in terms of fit, you need to clearly align with the role. The advantage is that smaller companies often move faster in their hiring process and can offer more direct access to decision-makers during the interview stage.
