Requirements
- 6–10 years of experience in SRE, production engineering, infrastructure, or backend engineering.
- Meaningful time spent responsible for systems in production within cloud-based environments (AWS preferred).
- Track record of end-to-end system ownership, including design, shipping, and operation.
- Hands-on experience defining and operating against SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
- Strong incident management skills with experience as a primary responder for customer-facing incidents.
- Depth in distributed systems failure modes in high-throughput, low-latency environments.
- Proficiency in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, and containerization (EKS/Kubernetes).
- Strong experience managing infrastructure through code (Terraform).
- Solid programming skills in Go, Python, or a comparable language.
- Fluency with observability tooling such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.
- Hands-on experience operating Redis/ElastiCache in production (cluster/shard management, scaling strategies).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Responsibilities
- Own the reliability of core production systems end to end by instrumenting, setting targets, and managing behavior under real traffic.
- Define and maintain SLIs and SLOs, wiring them into dashboards and alerts to guide engineering priorities.
- Lead incident response investigations, restore service, and document findings in actionable postmortems.
- Build secure, resilient, and cost-efficient infrastructure, focusing on failure modes like backpressure, load shedding, and graceful degradation.
- Conduct capacity and performance analysis using real data, including load testing, profiling, and headroom planning.
- Manage infrastructure as code primarily using Terraform and design developer-facing tooling to reduce operational toil.
- Partner with product teams on production readiness, including runbooks, failure mode analysis, and on-call handoffs.
- Participate in the on-call rotation and improve documentation and escalation clarity to reduce alert fatigue.
