We achieve this through the Priority Commerce Engine, an innovative platform that combines payables, acquiring, and banking and treasury solutions. This unified approach allows businesses to streamline financial operations, reduce unnecessary costs, and uncover new revenue opportunities.
At Priority, we're driven by results. We expect our people to be known for results - bringing expertise, momentum, and relentless focus to every challenge, helping our clients and each other thrive.
About the Role:
As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you will be a senior technical leader ensuring the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of Priority’s mission-critical financial technology platform. This role blends hands-on engineering with leadership, mentorship, and cross-functional influence.
You will partner with product and infrastructure teams to ensure services are observable and resilient. You will resolve incidents, automate operational workflows, and set standards that raise the bar for reliability across the organization.
This is an ideal role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, systems, and operations, and who wants to shape the reliability culture at scale.
Responsibilities:
-
Define and drive the SRE strategy, aligning reliability practices with Priority’s long-term business and technology goals.
-
Lead incident response and retrospectives, driving systemic reliability improvements across multiple product workstreams.

Mentor and coach engineers across levels, multiplying SRE skills and mindset across the organization.
What Success Looks Like:
-
Delivery & Execution: Services are deployed frequently and safely; incidents are resolved quickly with minimal customer impact; operational load is reduced through automation and reliable processes.
-
Product Quality & Reliability: Systems consistently meet availability, latency, error-rate, and performance SLOs; incidents are rare, well-mitigated, and quickly remediated; redundancy and fault tolerance are built into all layers of the stack.
-
Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Teams design with reliability in mind; incidents are resolved faster with shared playbooks; engineers across disciplines feel confident in operational practices; blameless postmortems drive organizational learning.
-
Business & Product Impact: Reliability improvements directly enhance customer experience, reduce churn, and support adoption of new products and features without sacrificing stability.
-
Professional Growth & Team Contribution: You are recognized as a mentor and thought leader, elevating engineering maturity across the org; teams continuously improve reliability practices, automation, and resilience.

-
Experience with relational and non-relational databases.
-
