- Design, build and operate Kubernetes platforms on AWS and on bare metal servers, including cluster lifecycle, upgrades and capacity planning.
- Build and improve CI/CD and GitOps pipelines (GitHub Actions, Argo CD) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible).
- Extend our observability stack (Grafana Cloud, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo) from services down to the hardware layer.
- Automate repetitive operational work, including with AI-assisted tooling such as our SRE Bot and MCP servers.
- Lead production readiness reviews, resilience and chaos testing, and disaster recovery exercises.
- Partner on security and compliance practices such as secrets management (Vault), image and dependency scanning, and identity and access.
- Support and guide developers and contribute to the team’s technical direction.
What you bring
- 5+ years in SRE, DevOps or infrastructure engineering, with demonstrated technical leadership.
- Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production, including cluster operations, networking and troubleshooting.
- Strong coding or scripting skills in at least one of Python, Go or Java, plus Bash.
- Experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD and GitOps (for example Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Argo CD).
- Strong observability skills: metrics, logs and traces, SLO-based alerting, and dashboards.
- Experience running 24×7 production services, including on-call and incident command.
- Solid grounding in Linux, networking (L2/L3, load balancing, service mesh) and cloud platforms, preferably AWS.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort working across time zones.
Nice to have
- Istio or another service mesh, Rancher, kube-vip or similar HA tooling.
- Experience operating infrastructure across geographically distributed sites.
- Experience with Kafka, Cassandra, Temporal, Postgres or AuroraDB.
- Chaos engineering experience and multi-region or active-active designs.
- Experience applying AI or LLM tooling to operations and incident triage.
Why join us
- Work on infrastructure and applications that underpins global digital interconnection.
- Own meaningful technical problems, from bare metal to the various distributed systems involved that manage the application layer.
- Join a collaborative, global team that values blameless learning, automation and clear communication.
- Competitive compensation and benefits, and room to grow.
