Site Reliability Engineer SRE - Internationalisation

DescriptionLocation: Palo AltoFunction: Infrastructure / SRE / Platform EngineeringAbout the RoleOur client is a rapidly scaling global consumer internet platform, with hundreds of millions of users globally and strong momentum in international markets.As the business accelerates its global expansion, this role sits at the core of building next-generation international infrastructure, ensuring that critical systems are highly available, globally distributed, and resilient across regions.This is a high-impact opportunity to work on multi-region architecture, global traffic routing, and large-scale distributed systems, directly shaping the reliability and scalability of a fast-growing global platform.Key Responsibilities1. Global Architecture & Disaster RecoveryParticipate in the design and implementation of global infrastructure architectureOwn cross-region architecture, disaster recovery (DR), and high availability (HA) capabilitiesEnable critical systems to support:Multi-region deploymentDisaster recovery failoverFault isolationImprove overall stability and resilience of international business systems2. Overseas Infrastructure Platform Deployment & OperationsBuild, deploy, operate, and continuously optimise core infrastructure platforms in overseas regions, including:Release / deployment systemsMonitoring & alerting systemsConfiguration management systemsService governance frameworksTraffic scheduling systemsEnsure consistency, reliability, and parity between overseas and domestic infrastructure environments3. Reliability Engineering & Incident ResponseDesign and implement a comprehensive reliability engineering framework for international systems, including:Observability systems (metrics, logs, tracing)Incident response mechanismsRoot cause analysis and postmortem processesLead cross-functional coordination during major incidentsDrive rapid service recovery and long-term systemic improvements4. Internationalisation Infrastructure EnablementDeeply understand overseas business requirements and architectural constraintsDrive the implementation of infrastructure capabilities in global environments, including:Multi-region architecture designNetwork architecture optimisationData architecture optimisationAdaptation of core infrastructure services for global deployment5. Cross-Team Collaboration & System AlignmentCollaborate closely with:Domestic infrastructure teamsProduct engineering teamsPlatform teamsEnsure overseas systems align with internal architecture standards and best practicesEstablish and promote reliability best practices across the organisationRequirements1.
