Shoreline’s goal is to make on-call better. We’ve built a platform for rapid automation that lets you automate away toil rapidly! It runs across clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) and platforms (K8s, VMs).

If you’ve deployed, monitored, and debugged applications, databases, and other infrastructure and understand the challenges of being on call, then Shoreline is an excellent fit for you! Be part of the group that is making on-call better for everyone in DevOps & SRE. 

Shoreline is hiring Site Reliability Engineers to build an elegant, transparent automation layer on top of multiple platforms, including AWS, GCP, Azure, VMware, and Kubernetes. We call our automation Op Packs, and in this role, you’ll be part of the Op Packs team.
