We value humility and believe in direct communication. Our team is inclusive, and our differing perspectives allow for better solutions. We are seeking individuals passionate about tackling challenges and are driven by execution. Ready to come find your playground? Together, we can help shape the endless possibilities of AI.
Role Overview
d-Matrix designs and manufactures purpose-built AI inference silicon, and the infrastructure underpinning our engineering organization must be as reliable and scalable as the chips we build. This role builds and leads d-Matrix's Site Reliability Engineering function from the ground up, owning the infrastructure that development, validation, and customer-facing deployments run on — spanning colocation facilities, on-premises lab clusters, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and customer-facing platform services. You will hire and grow the team, set technical direction, own SLOs for critical systems, and serve as the senior escalation point for incidents, all while remaining hands-on. You will partner closely with Software Tools, QA DevOps, and Engineering teams whose workflows run on this infrastructure, as well as Networking Operations and IT Operations, to drive reliability, cost efficiency, and the removal of technical debt.
What You Will Do
- Build and lead the SRE function from scratch — define its charter, establish SRE as a discipline across hardware and software engineering, and hire, develop, and retain a team of 1–3 SRE engineers.
- Direct a dedicated Data Center & Lab Technician team, setting work priorities and operational standards across on-premises and colocation facilities.
- Own 24×7 reliability across colocation, on-premises lab clusters, cloud, and customer-facing platform services, designing for failure domains, progressive delivery, and strict change control.
- Establish SRE process from zero: define SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, design on-call rotations (including a follow-the-sun model as d-Matrix expands globally), and build the incident and RCA management framework.
- Own the full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk or equivalent), instrumenting metrics, traces, and logs for SLO visibility and alert design.
- Drive IaC-first automation (Terraform, Ansible) and build self-healing infrastructure — host lifecycle automation, fleet auto-remediation, and AIOps-driven alerting.
- Own FinOps and capacity planning across cloud, colocation, and on-premises tiers, including spend attribution, TCO modeling, and workload placement decisions.
- Lead the migration from ad-hoc JBOD storage to an enterprise-grade shared storage platform spanning on-prem, colocation, and cloud, including architecture, vendor selection, and DR design.
What You Will Bring
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; 15+ years in SRE, infrastructure engineering, or production engineering.
- 5+ years leading SRE or infrastructure engineering teams, including experience building or significantly rebuilding a function, not just managing a steady-state team.
- Demonstrated track record of establishing SRE as a discipline in an organization that lacked it: defining SLOs, creating on-call frameworks, standing up observability, and driving cultural change with teams coming from a reactive ops background.
- Deep Linux systems expertise: bare-metal operations, enterprise shared storage platforms (NAS/SAN, NFS/SMB at scale, snapshot and replication architectures), and hybrid-cloud storage integration.
- Proven experience operating colocation and on-premises hardware at scale: server lifecycle, power and cooling awareness, rack-level networking.
- Hands-on Infrastructure as Code fluency with Terraform and Ansible at production scale — module design, remote state, environment isolation, and change governance.
- Kubernetes cluster operations: lifecycle management, workload reliability, storage, and RBAC at scale.
- Full observability stack ownership (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog and/or Splunk or equivalent) for SLO definition, alert design, and end-to-end signal quality.
- Strong Python and/or Go scripting for production services and automation that safely touches real infrastructure.
- Executive communication skills, translating infrastructure health and operational risk into clear narratives for senior leadership, including non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to operate in a high-ambiguity, low-process environment, building structure rather than inheriting it.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience operating customer-facing infrastructure or platform services, with reliability expectations beyond internal tooling.
- Knowledge of high-speed interconnect fabrics (InfiniBand, RoCE, or NVLink) — setup, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
- HPC job scheduler experience (Slurm, LSF, or equivalent) — setup, tuning, and integration with infrastructure automation.
- Multi-cloud hybrid operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP alongside on-prem/colo, with unified observability and IaC.
- FinOps expertise: cloud spend attribution, TCO modeling across cloud vs. on-prem vs. colo, and translating cost data into workload placement recommendations.
- ITIL knowledge or an equivalent structured incident/problem/change management framework.
- Published technical writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions in reliability, observability, or HPC infrastructure.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Sre Engineer
Target companies with H-1B filing history
Employers who have sponsored SRE roles before are far more likely to do it again. Check DOL LCA disclosure data to confirm a company has filed for this specific job title before applying.
Frame your degree in systems or software terms
SRE is a specialty occupation, so your degree field matters. Computer science, computer engineering, and information systems are the strongest fits. Unrelated degrees require strong experience alignment to compensate.
Highlight on-call and incident response experience
Sponsoring employers want evidence you can own production reliability independently. Concrete SLI, SLO, and postmortem experience signals you are ready for the role without a ramp-up period.
Get an LCA timeline from your employer early
The Labor Condition Application must be certified by the DOL before your H-1B petition is filed. Ask your employer's immigration counsel for an expected LCA timeline at the offer stage.
Understand the H-1B lottery if you are cap-subject
Most SRE roles at commercial employers are cap-subject. If you miss the lottery, explore cap-exempt employers such as universities and nonprofit research institutions that hire SREs for infrastructure roles.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified sponsoring employers
Not every company that posts an SRE role will sponsor. Migrate Mate surfaces positions from employers with active sponsorship history, saving you the research and avoiding wasted applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SRE Engineer a qualifying specialty occupation for the H-1B visa?
Yes. SRE Engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation because the role requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a closely related technical field. USCIS has consistently approved H-1B visa petitions for SRE titles at companies where job duties center on distributed systems, reliability engineering, and infrastructure automation.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my SRE Engineer H-1B?
A bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or information systems is the standard requirement. Some employers accept degrees in mathematics or electrical engineering if your coursework or work history is systems-focused. Unrelated degrees are harder to support, though three years of qualifying work experience can substitute for each year of missing education under USCIS rules.
How high are H-1B approval rates for SRE Engineer petitions?
SRE roles at established tech employers see strong approval rates, generally in line with software engineering petitions. Companies with mature immigration programs and experienced counsel tend to file petitions with detailed job duty descriptions that meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard, which reduces the risk of a Request for Evidence. Cap-exempt employers filing outside the lottery face even fewer obstacles.
Can I find SRE Engineer jobs with visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate?
Yes. Migrate Mate is designed specifically for candidates who need sponsorship, so listings are filtered to employers with documented H-1B filing history. You can browse SRE roles without sifting through postings from companies that don't sponsor, which is the most common time sink in a sponsored job search.
What happens to my H-1B status if my SRE employer does layoffs?
You have a 60-day grace period from the date your employment ends to find a new employer willing to file an H-1B transfer petition, change to another valid status, or leave the country. The new employer can file a transfer petition using the cap-exemption since you were already counted against the cap, so you don't re-enter the lottery.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Sre Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
