Role Overview:The ideal SRE/DevOps engineer is a technically strong, security‑minded problem‑solver who operates production systems with a calm, data‑driven approach, proactively improves tooling, and communicates effectively across teams while continually leveling up their own skills and those of the organization.
Primary Responsibilities:
Automate Software Delivery
- Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD) that integrate automated testing, security scanning, and one‑click rollback to accelerate safe releases.
Operate Production Infrastructure
- Provision, configure, and manage secure, highly‑available cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on‑prem environments with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation).
Observe, Troubleshoot & Remediate
- Instrument systems with metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry); own the on‑call rotation, rapidly diagnose incidents, and drive blameless post‑mortems.
Optimize Performance & Cost
- Continuously assess latency, capacity, and cloud spend; tune applications and scale containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) to meet SLAs while controlling costs.
Continuously Improve Tooling & Process
- Research, evaluate, and standardize new tools or practices that boost reliability, security, or developer velocity; automate toil wherever it appears.
Collaborate & Coach
- Partner with software, QA, and security teams to embed DevOps/SRE best practices; create clear documentation and share operational knowledge.
Must‑Have Skills & Experience:
- 5–7 years in production SRE/DevOps or related software‑engineering roles, including participation in an on‑call rotation
- Deep hands‑on expertise with at least one major provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), covering networking, IAM, and managed services
- Proficient with Terraform (preferred) or similar IaC tooling; experienced in module design, remote state, and policy‑as‑code
- Proven ability to design declarative pipelines and automate build, test, deploy, and rollback workflows
- Strong knowledge of Docker image design and Kubernetes operations (Helm, controllers, service meshes)
- Practical use of monitoring, logging, and tracing stacks; comfortable leading incident bridges and post‑incident analysis
- Fluency with Git workflows, code review culture, and clear written/verbal communication
- Proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, or Bash) to automate tasks and build small services
- Self‑starter who is proactive, curious, and relentlessly focused on eliminating manual toil
Nice-to-Have Qualifications:
- Security or compliance experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)
- Database operations at scale (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB)
- Observability platform tuning (Grafana Loki, Elastic, Honeycomb)
- Relevant certifications (CKA/CKAD, AWS SA‑Pro, Terraform Associate)
To be a strong fit you also need:
- Bias Toward Action: Demonstrated ability to take initiative, make decisions under uncertainty, and move projects forward even in the face of ambiguity. We value individuals who are self-starters and ready to act on opportunities and challenges alike.
- Entrepreneurial Spirit: Strong adaptability to changing business needs with a knack for building and optimizing processes. Your entrepreneurial mindset will be crucial in navigating the dynamic landscape of our industry, ensuring our platform remains competitive and responsive to user needs.
- Communication: Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Effective communication is vital for cross-functional collaboration and ensuring alignment across our organization.
- Remote Work Adaptability: Comfort with remote work environments, demonstrating the ability to stay productive and connected with the team irrespective of physical location.
- Continuous Improvement: A willingness to question assumptions and a commitment to continuous improvement. Your openness to feedback and dedication to personal and professional growth will contribute significantly to our collective success.
