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).
