A first SRE/platform hire is the buyer for observability, incident management, IaC and cloud-cost tools. The weeks around the hire are when those decisions get made, which makes the job post a timely, specific reason to reach out. It is a timing signal, not proof of budget.
RoleDawn checks 4,481 company career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Workday every day, sorts every title into one of 43 role families, and flags a company the first time a Platform / SRE role appears on its board. Each row is labelled "New on their board" or "Likely new team · inferred"; see the full definitions.
RoleDawn keeps the history of every role family each company has posted on its own careers page. "New on their board" means a Platform / SRE role appeared on a board where we had already recorded postings and had never seen that family. "Likely new team · inferred" is an estimate for boards we only recently started tracking. Neither is proof the company never had the role, and a posting is not proof of budget.
Job postings that companies publish on their own Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Workday boards. No LinkedIn scraping and no personal contact data. Staffing agencies and intern, temporary or contractor roles are left out.
