Site Reliability Engineer - Observability & Internal Tools

Take full ownership of smartclip's internal utility and platform tooling. Focus your energy on the intersection of observability, automation, and developer infrastructure. Don't just maintain existing systems - evolve them, research cutting-edge open-source alternatives, and implement them.

Forget expensive enterprise SaaS. Invest in deep in-house expertise. Understand our systems end-to-end, maintain total flexibility, and contribute back to the open-source ecosystem we depend on.

Face these challenges:

• Build & Evolve: Operate and advance our observability stack (including Prometheus, Grafana, and Forgejo).
• Go Open Source First: Replace "buy" decisions with robust "build & maintain" strategies.
• Engineer the Platform: Design observability as a platform capability. Define SLOs and create actionable alerting to stop incidents before they start.
• Secure the Stack: Embed security engineering into the delivery process. Find vulnerabilities before the pen tests do.
• Master the Infrastructure: Navigate Linux systems and distributed tooling. Balance bold exploration with production stability., * Ownership over tickets: You're trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement - we rely on you to take things forward.
• Build > Talk: We test what works - not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
• High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
• Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community - we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.
• Remote flexibility. In person, when it matters.: You work flexibly remote, with a connection to our Berlin or Cologne locations, where our TV Labs are and we experiment, build, and learn together.
• And yes - the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.

Do you have experience in Google Cloud Platform?, Be motivated by systems thinking and deep technical curiosity. Stop being a consumer - start being a builder., * Design and evolve production-grade setups on GCP or AWS.

• Show us your contributions to open-source projects.
• Turn your passion for root-cause analysis into blameless post-mortems.
