The Site Reliability Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our production systems. This position bridges the gap between development and operations by applying engineering principles to infrastructure and operations problems. You will be responsible for building robust monitoring systems, automating operational tasks, managing incident response, and driving improvements in system design to prevent future outages. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, values automation over manual intervention, and is passionate about creating systems that are observable, resilient, and self-healing. You will work cross-functionally with engineering teams to embed reliability practices into the development lifecycle and ensure services meet strict uptime and performance standards.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with engineering teams to develop and support the infrastructure powering their services.
- Maintain high availability, security, and scalability of Kubernetes clusters running on AWS EKS.
- Build and implement resilience strategies including multi-region deployment, backup systems, and disaster recovery processes.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
- Enhance CI/CD workflows to enable faster, safer, and more reliable software deployments.
- Use observability tools to monitor system performance, detect issues, and ensure service reliability.
- Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response efforts, prioritizing root-cause resolution and prevention.
Requirements
- Minimum of five years of professional experience in site reliability engineering or software development.
- Proficient in programming languages including Java, Python, Bash, and Go for automation and problem-solving.
- Extensive hands-on experience with AWS services such as RDS, CloudFront, IAM, and VPCs, along with Terraform and Kubernetes.
