Hearsay Systems
Site Reliability Engineer
What are you looking for in your next company? An open, friendly culture? Smart application of an excellent tech stack? Real diversity? Rock-solid products? If these matter to you, we have some great things to talk about.
Hearsay is looking to hire a knowledgeable, ambitious Site Reliability Engineer to grow our global Site Reliability team in Europe.
The Hearsay Platform is the pre-eminent omni-channel digital engagement center for the financial services advisor. It tethers the most effective marketing, acquisition and servicing channels in one ecosystem which enables the advisor to focus on the most important part of their job - building and servicing relationships - without the friction of switching between systems or the fear of compliance backlash.
At Hearsay we are true believers in the power of having developers be capable of, accountable for and enthusiastic about owning services from development through production, delivering value in small increments that add up to a big deal. Doing this at scale is easier said than done and will require hands on work to iteratively improve the performance of our people, processes and technology.

The world’s leading financial firms—including Allstate, New York Life, Morgan Stanley, and Charles Schwab—rely on Hearsay’s SaaS platform to scale their reach, optimize sales engagements, and deliver exceptional client service in a consistent and compliant manner.
We are a tight-knit and dedicated team that passionately believes in our products, our people, and our culture. Our products help advisors and agents scale personalized customer engagements across social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram), websites, text, and voice.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Hearsay has a globally distributed team with members in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Seattle, New York, Toronto, London, Budapest and Manila and is backed by Sequoia Capital, NewView Capital, and Salesforce Ventures.
About the role:
- Expand our capabilities as a member of the Site Reliability Engineering team, located in our Hungarian development center.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to understand their architecture, set meaningful service level objectives, and establish and share best practices.
- Write (or select existing) tools and services to help us deliver better software, faster.
- Collaborate with the North America-based members of the SRE team to design and participate in the implementation of organization-wide processes, architectural standards, and technology platforms.
- Assist in monitoring, maintaining and scaling our services in concert with engineering teams.
- Ensure that our compliance posture is adhered to, and participate in quarterly and yearly audit activities, as needed.
About you:
- Coding ability in both scripting and applications programming languages -- could be Python, Kotlin, Java, Ruby, etc. (Hearsay services are mostly written in Python.)
- Understanding of web application architecture and essential security best practices (e.g. OWASP Top 10).

- Understanding of DevOps principles, practices and tools -- e.g. continuous integration, automated deployment, canary deployments, etc.
- Familiarity with containerization and an orchestration framework (e.g. AWS ECS, Kubernetes).
- Bonus points for familiarity with AWS Lambda (serverless functions).

We offer you:
- Central location with fantastic colleagues, which is basically your home until pandemia threats us to get together
