About the job
We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help design, scale, and secure our rapidly growing platform infrastructure.
You will work across all critical systems — from customer-facing applications and APIs to internal platforms and data services — ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency at scale.
You’ll be hands-on with Kubernetes, observability, GitOps, automation, and cloud infrastructure, while partnering closely with application, platform, and data teams to deliver a highly reliable and self-healing environment.
This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on complex distributed systems, loves to automate everything, and can balance speed, stability, and cost-efficiency in production.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent work experience.
- Design, deploy, monitor, and maintain production workloads across Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) clusters.
- Build self-healing, auto-scaling systems that minimize manual intervention and ensure uptime.
- Design and operate reliable database and storage platforms (SQL, NoSQL, and object stores) within Kubernetes environments.
- Implement backup, disaster recovery, replication, and failover strategies to meet RPO/RTO targets.
- Troubleshoot and recover Kubernetes Persistent Volumes (StorageClasses, CSI drivers, PVC issues).
- Optimize storage performance and cost through multi-tier strategies, hot/cold data separation, and S3/offloading lifecycle policies.
- Secure and scale object storage platforms (e.g., MinIO/S3-compatible) for high-throughput data pipelines.
- Manage block storage (EBS/io2/gp3) and shared file systems (EFS, NFS) for resilience and cost balance.
- Collaborate with teams to optimize networking, ingress/egress traffic, and service mesh for secure communication.
Platform & Infrastructure Reliability
- Design, deploy, monitor, and maintain production workloads across Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) clusters.
- Build self-healing, auto-scaling systems that minimize toil and manual intervention.
- Optimize networking, ingress/egress traffic control, and service mesh for secure & performant communication.
- Design and operate reliable database and storage platforms (SQL, NoSQL, and object stores) in Kubernetes environments.
- Own backup, disaster recovery, replication, and failover strategies to meet RPO/RTO targets for critical data services.
- Optimize storage performance and cost through multi-tier strategies, hot/cold data separation, and S3/offloading lifecycle policies.
- Troubleshoot and recover Kubernetes Persistent Volumes confidently during incidents (StorageClasses, CSI drivers, PVC issues).
- Secure and scale object storage platforms (e.g., MinIO/S3-compatible) and integrate with workloads for high-throughput data pipelines.
- Work with block storage (EBS/io2/gp3) and shared file systems (EFS, NFS) to balance performance, resiliency, and cost.
Automation & Delivery
- Champion GitOps and CI/CD best practices (ArgoCD, Flux, GitHub Actions).
Build automation for infrastructure provisioning and upgrades using Terraform, Helm, and Kubernetes Operators. - Reduce release risk through progressive delivery strategies (blue/green, canary, spot instance rolling updates).
