About the role
Engineering Tools owns and operates the on-prem developer platforms every Tesla engineer depends on: GitHub Enterprise, JFrog Artifactory, self-hosted GitHub Copilot and Cursor, and the Atlassian suite, plus an AI-augmented support layer built on the internal Nabu RAG platform, OpenTelemetry observability, and a GitOps-driven Kubernetes footprint. The team is hiring a Staff SRE to own the reliability, scalability, and operational maturity of that footprint. The role drives platform administration, migration and onboarding, automation, monitoring, security and compliance, integrations, and documentation across these systems.
What you will do
- Platform administration: Manage GitHub Enterprise (Cloud and/or Server) organizations, teams, repos, branch protection rules, Actions runners, and Apps. Administer JFrog Artifactory repositories (local, remote, virtual), permissions, replication, and storage policies.
- User support: Triage and resolve tickets covering access requests, repo migrations, build/artifact failures, authentication issues, and integrations. Define and meet SLAs.
- Migrations & onboarding: Lead repo migrations into/out of GitHub (e.g., GitHub Migrations API, gh-migration tooling) and Artifactory repository imports/exports. Onboard new teams with templates and standards.
- Automation: Build scripts and tooling (Bash, Python, Terraform, GitHub Actions, JFrog CLI) to automate provisioning, permission audits, cleanup, and reporting. Eliminate repetitive support work.
- Reliability & monitoring: Monitor platform health, storage usage, runner capacity, and license consumption. Coordinate upgrades, patches, and incident response with the vendor.
- Security & compliance: Enforce SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, secret scanning, signed commits, audit logging, and least-privilege access. Support SOC 2 / ISO audits.
- Integrations: Maintain integrations with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), SAST/SCA scanners, Jira, Slack, and internal developer portals.
- Documentation & enablement: Write runbooks, FAQs, and self-service guides. Host office hours and training sessions for developers.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 3+ years administering GitHub Enterprise (Cloud or Server) at scale (500+ users or 1000+ repos).
- 2+ years administering JFrog Artifactory (or comparable: Nexus, Cloudsmith, Harbor).
- Strong scripting in Bash and Python; comfortable with REST APIs and curl/jq.
- Working knowledge of Git internals (refs, packfiles, LFS, submodules) and ability to debug repo corruption, large-file issues, and merge problems.
- Hands-on experience with at least one CI/CD system (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI).
- Familiarity with SSO/SAML, SCIM, OIDC, and personal/fine-grained access tokens.
- Excellent written communication - you can turn a confusing incident into a clear postmortem and a vague ticket into a fixable problem.
- Excellent written communication - you can write a post-mortem that engineering leadership reads to the end, and a runbook that a junior on-call can execute at 3 AM. Strong technical influence without authority; you raise the reliability bar across teams by example and through reviews, not by mandate. Calm under pressure during sev-1 incidents affecting thousands of engineers.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with GitHub Migrations API, gh-migration-tool, or gei (GitHub Enterprise Importer).
- Experience operating Artifactory in HA mode, with S3/blob storage, and Xray for vulnerability scanning.
- Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform providers for GitHub and Artifactory.
- Container/package format expertise: Docker, npm, Maven, PyPI, Helm, Conan.
- Familiarity with secret scanning tools (GitHub Advanced Security, GitGuardian, TruffleHog) and dependency management (Dependabot, Renovate).
- Prior on-call or production support experience.
- Exposure to GHAS, Copilot for Business, or Copilot Enterprise rollouts.
- Experience operating self-hosted LLM inference (Copilot Enterprise, on-prem Cursor backend, vLLM, or similar), RAG pipelines, or vector databases.
