Become a Senior SRE for Bloomreach!

Join the newly form Datacraft team — the team building the next-generation data platform for Bloomreach Engagement. Datacraft owns three interconnected domains:

• Data Warehouses (~60%) — making Bloomreach data first-class in customer DWHs (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks). The strategic goal for 2026–27 is to use DWHs to exponentially accelerate data adoption.
• Loomi Analytics Agent (~20%) — evolving Loomi Analytics into an agentic analytics assistant that can explore data across systems, explain insights, and act on them.
• Dashboards & Analytics Stack (~20%) — moving Engagement reporting onto DWH-backed, modern analytics stacks (semantic layers, headless BI tools).

As a Senior SRE, you will be the reliability backbone of this AI-first data team. Your work will directly impact the deployments, pipelines, reliability, and observability of pipelines and services that hundreds of enterprise customers depend on — from data exports into Databricks and BigQuery, to the  AI agent Loomi uses to surface insights.

Datacraft is an AI-first team. We believe code is a commodity and expect every engineer to fluently use coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini CLI) as a core part of their daily workflow. The ability to leverage AI tooling to accelerate development, prototyping, and problem-solving is not optional — it's foundational. Working in one of our Central European offices (Bratislava, Praha, Brno) or from home on a full-time basis, you'll become a core part of the Engineering team.

What challenge awaits you?

As a P3 (Senior) SRE at Bloomreach, you are an independent professional — expert in reliability engineering, able to decompose objectives into actionable infrastructure improvements, and lead initiatives end-to-end with minimal day-to-day guidance.

We need you to build and operate an ecosystem where data engineers can safely and efficiently develop, debug, and operate data-intensive jobs and services — spanning Kafka ingest pipelines, Iceberg data lakes, multi-DWH exports, Databricks deployment and orchestration (Airflow / Cloud Composer), and agentic AI workloads.

Your responsibilities

a. Platform reliability & observability

• Build and maintain the reliability ecosystem where engineers can safely develop, debug, and operate DataCraft services running on GCP and Kubernetes (DataProc, Cloud Composer, BigQuery, Snowflake/Databricks connectors).
• Ensure end-to-end observability across the full data platform — from Kafka ingest through GCS/Iceberg staging, Airflow orchestration, to Databricks and BigQuery destinations — enabling the team to catch missing loads, SLA breaches, and data drifts before customers notice, or costs drift.
• Drive scalability so services can scale vertically and horizontally based on operational and telemetric data (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Victoria Metrics).
• Maintain team health dashboards and alerting (Grafana, PagerDuty, Sentry).

b. Infrastructure as Code & deployments

• Own and evolve Terraform-based infrastructure for DataCraft services.
• Automate deployments, instance setup, and operational runbooks to eliminate manual/semi-manual steps.
• Maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) with linters, security scans, and code quality checks, AI code reviews, enabling engineers to produce high-quality MRs.

c. Security & compliance

• Help the team fulfill security requirements for ISO and SOC2 audits by enforcing security principles: key distribution, key rotation, authorization & authentication at the service level, data encryption in transit, data isolation, resource limitations, and audit logs.
• Ensure data access controls are properly enforced across multi-DWH environments (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks).

d. Incident management & L3 support

• Participate in and drive L3 on-call rotation and incident resolution for DataCraft services.
• Contribute tooling for debugging, troubleshooting, and performance testing of data pipelines and orchestration layers.
• Use telemetry data and distributed tracing to navigate complex, distributed service architectures.

e. Agentic platform reliability

• Ensure reliability and observability of the Loomi Analytics Agent data infrastructure — LLM API gateway performance, MCP server health, and evaluation pipeline availability.
• Monitor and alert on data quality issues that could introduce inconsistencies or hallucinations in Loomi's responses — making the agent's data access patterns reliable and debuggable.

• Comfortable with on-call rotation and 24/7 incident response.
• Remote-first mindset — you know how to be effective in distributed teams.
• You are able to learn and adapt — essential when exploring new tech or navigating our growing codebase.

Strongly preferred

• Experience operating single-DWH environments (Snowflak, Databricks or BigQuery).
• Familiarity with agentic/LLM workloads — API reliability, latency SLOs, trace observability for AI systems.
• Experience with open table formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake) in production environments.
• Exposure to data security and compliance in the context of customer-facing DWH integrations (consent, data retention, PII handling).

Personal qualities

• Systematic thinking — you identify root causes, not symptoms, and document your findings so the team learns.
• Collaboration & communication — you explain trade-offs and constraints clearly to both engineers and non-engineers.
• Bias for reliability — operational excellence (SLOs, oncall friendliness, proactive alerting) is not a chore, it's your craft.
• Continuous improvement mindset — you are comfortable iterating, revisiting assumptions, and improving incrementally.
• Comfortable operating remote-first in a distributed team across Central Europe.

Your success story

In 30 days:

• Get to know the DataCraft team, the company, and the most important processes.
• Set up your local and GCP development environment and complete the Engagement engineering onboarding.
• Understand the current state of DataCraft services: pipelines, orchestration, observability gaps, and on-call runbooks.

In 90 days:

• Start contributing to the L3 on-call rotation, handling incidents, troubleshooting, and debugging — which will sharpen your understanding of the platform and surface fresh improvement ideas.
• Deliver your first meaningful reliability improvement: an observability enhancement, a deployment automation, or an SLO definition for a key DataCraft service.

In 180 days:

• Own the reliability posture of at least one DataCraft domain end-to-end — able to independently design, operate, and continuously improve it.
• Drive measurable improvements in MTTR, alert signal-to-noise ratio, or deployment confidence across the team.
• Be a trusted reliability partner in architecture discussions — your input shapes how new DataCraft services are designed for operability from day one.

The role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with strong C++ expertise to join the team building and operating Nebius Data Platform — a distributed storage and a processing platform that acts as the company’s “source of truth” and the backbone of many internal (and some external) products.

Nebius Data Platform is a single multi-tenant ecosystem based on YTsaurus — instead of running separate HDFS/Kafka/HBase-style systems, we provide storage, compute, and analytics capabilities inside one platform.

Built on top of the open-source YTsaurus ecosystem, we run and extend our own Nebius distribution and develop significant in-house functionality (core and platform-level). We can design, implement, and roll out features end-to-end on our clusters without waiting for upstream approvals and contribute upstream when it makes sense.

At scale today, this includes~500 servers, ~20k CPU cores and ~10 PB of compressed data in our largest production cluster, supporting workloads ranging from business-critical pipelines and financial transactions to large-scale ML/LLM training datasets and compute.

What’s inside the platform

You’ll work on a system that includes (and ties together):

• Distributed Storage (Cypress): transactional semantics, tiered storage, erasure coding, replication, and strong reliability expectations.
• Compute & ETL: a cluster-wide job scheduler (tens of thousands of cores), MapReduce, YQL for SQL-like data processing, and SPYT (Spark over YTsaurus) for modern data engineering.
• Interactive analytics (CHYT): ClickHouse® instances spun up directly on compute nodes for fast SQL over data in-place.
• Dynamic Tables: low-latency NoSQL KV with distributed ACID transactions for OLTP-style workloads and feature stores.
• Orchestracto: workflow orchestration deeply integrated with the platform (Airflow-like, but platform-native).

What you’ll do

We’re looking for engineers who combine strong systems skills with product sense: understanding who uses the platform, why certain capabilities matter, and making pragmatic trade-offs to maximize impact. On our team, engineering work is expected to be connected to real users and outcomes — you’ll regularly align with internal stakeholders, clarify requirements, and help drive prioritization.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement new functionality in YTsaurus core (C++) with production reliability in mind.
• Build and evolve platform-level capabilities: platform architecture and operating model—multi-cluster growth, shared primitives, and a consistent experience that scales with new teams and use cases.
• Improve end-to-end platform experience for internal (and external-facing) users: APIs, guardrails, debugging workflows, and automation.
• Own production quality: incident response / on-call rotation, root cause analysis, and turning learnings into durable fixes.

Example projects

• Roll out sharded YTsaurus masters (incl. Kubernetes operator support) and build automatic balancing of metadata across master cells (consensus groups) to remove control-plane bottlenecks and unlock 10–100x cluster growth.
• Make CHYT interactive SQL faster and more predictable at high load via performance work like data-skipping / min-max-style indexes and improved execution introspection.
• Turn Orchestracto into a platform product by defining the building blocks, developer experience, and governance for how teams create and share workflows.
• Scale and harden Parquet-on-S3 for native YTsaurus workloads by tackling replication/movement, consistent lifecycle semantics, and master-server metadata optimizations for performance and reliability.
• Design and ship complete, trustworthy audit trails for data changes (who/what/when) across heterogeneous storage and compute paths.

Tech stack

• Core: modern C++ (C++20, async + multithreaded primitives)
• Services & tooling: Go and Python (microservices, utilities, integration tests)

What we expect

• 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Strong C++ skills (you’ll write core code).
• Working knowledge of Python and/or Go (you don’t have to be expert, but should be comfortable navigating them).
• Experience developing and/or operating high-load, distributed services.
• Production mindset: ability to use SSH, read logs/metrics/traces, and debug distributed systems behavior.
• Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency basics.

Nice to have

• Experience with Big Data systems (YTsaurus/Hadoop/Spark/ClickHouse/Kafka-like ecosystems).
• Experience with multi-tenant platforms, schedulers, resource isolation, quotas, and reliability engineering.
• Strong performance engineering skills (profiling, lock contention, latency/throughput tradeoffs).

We conduct coding interviews as part of the process.

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we've been striving to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. Today, AI-powered coding agents are becoming a core part of how developers write Kotlin – and we want to make sure they write it well.

The Kotlin AI Value Stream team is responsible for how AI agents understand, generate, and improve Kotlin code across all platforms: Android, Kotlin Multiplatform, server-side, web, desktop, and others. We build the evaluation infrastructure, error analysis tools, and post-training pipelines that measure and improve agent behavior on real Kotlin developer tasks.

As a Research Engineer on this team, you'll own the end-to-end loop: Analyze how agents fail on Kotlin → build evals that capture those failures → research and implement methods to fix them → measure the improvement. Your work will directly shape how millions of developers experience Kotlin through AI coding agents.

As part of our team, you will:

Build tools for agentic error analysis

• Design and implement tooling to systematically capture, classify, and analyse errors that AI coding agents make when generating Kotlin code.
• Build observability pipelines over agentic traces – mining patterns from agent sessions in JetBrains IDEs, Junie, Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents.

Build evaluation pipelines

• Design, implement, and maintain evaluation pipelines that measure Kotlin code generation quality across dimensions, including correctness, idiomaticity, build success, framework usage, and test coverage.
• Build simulation environments where coding agents can be measured on realistic Kotlin developer tasks – from greenfield KMP projects and Gradle dependency management to migrating Spring applications from Java to Kotlin.
• Own evaluation infrastructure: metrics, experiment tracking, automated regression checks, and reproducible benchmarking.

Research methods for improving agent and model behavior on Kotlin

• Experiment with post-training techniques (SFT, DPO, GRPO) to improve how models handle Kotlin-specific patterns, idioms, and frameworks.
• Investigate context engineering approaches: CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md files, compiler-as-verifier feedback loops, Kotlin LSP integration, and MCP-based tooling.
• Run experiments to measure impact: A/B comparisons, benchmark suites, and before/after analyses on real codebases.
• Collaborate with model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google) to translate Kotlin-specific findings into model improvements.

Build public Kotlin benchmarks

• Design and build open-source benchmarks that measure AI coding agent performance on Kotlin tasks and eventually become the standard reference for the ecosystem.
• Create task datasets covering the breadth of Kotlin usage: the server side (Spring, Ktor), multiplatform projects (KMP), build systems (Gradle), Android, library development, and others.
• Include both mined real-world tasks and carefully designed synthetic tasks that test specific Kotlin capabilities.
• Maintain and evolve benchmarks as models improve, ensuring they remain challenging, relevant, and contamination-resistant.

We'll be happy to have you on board if you have:

• Hands-on experience building evaluation or analysis pipelines for LLMs or AI coding agents in a research or production setting.
• Strong Python engineering skills (at least three years), with the ability to write clean, maintainable code in data-heavy and ML-adjacent codebases.
• Experience with data analysis at scale: querying large datasets (SQL/Athena), building data pipelines, and performing statistical analysis of experimental results.
• The ability to own projects end to end – from identifying a problem in agent traces to designing an eval, running experiments, and shipping a fix.
• A product-aware mindset: You care about how agents are actually used by developers and can translate real failure modes into evaluation and training work.
• Familiarity with Kotlin or a strong willingness to develop deep Kotlin expertise (you'll be living in Kotlin codebases daily).

Our ideal candidate would also have experience with:

• Post-training LLMs: SFT, RLHF, DPO, GRPO – either hands-on training or designing the data and reward pipelines that feed into training.
• Modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch) and LLM training stacks (TRL, verl, Megatron, or similar).
• AI agent development: tool-using agents, multi-step coding workflows, agentic frameworks.
• Evaluation frameworks and tools: Inspect AI, Promptfoo, LM-evaluation-harness, or custom eval pipelines.
• Experiment tracking and observability: Weights & Biases, MLflow, Langfuse, or similar.
• The Kotlin ecosystem: Android, Gradle, KMP, Spring, Ktor – with an understanding of the developer workflows that agents need to support.
• Contributing to or maintaining open-source projects, especially benchmarks or evaluation tools.

Don't check every box? That's okay – if you're excited about this work and bring strong fundamentals, we'd love to hear from you. We're happy to talk and provide the training you need to grow into the role.
