Job description

Drive incident response drills, post-mortems, and root cause analysis (RCA) across the bare-metal and cloud infrastructure stack.
Review system performance metrics and overnight alerts, triaging anomalies before they impact operations.
Build observability layers from the ground up-defining SLIs/SLOs, eliminating monitoring gaps, and establishing proactive alerting strategies.
Perform system-level diagnostics and kernel debugging (kernel panic analysis, kdump, memory allocation, and CPU scheduling issues).
Write production-grade automation and infrastructure tooling in Python or Go.
Automate bare-metal provisioning and cloud orchestration using Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, AWX).

Requirements

5+ years of experience in deep Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or Linux Systems Engineering.
Practical understanding of Linux kernel internals (scheduler, memory allocation, driver subsystems, kdump).
Strong programming proficiency in Python, Go, or similar languages.
Proven incident command experience driving post-mortems and cross-functional RCA.
Hands-on experience with IaC (Terraform, Ansible), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and TCP/IP network programming.
Working knowledge of distributed storage systems (object, block, and/or file storage).
