Experience with Kanban or Scrum. * Automation and Programming: Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, Go or similar) to automate operations and build internal tooling (operators, agents, CI/CD workflows). * Cloud Services: Deep hands-on knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or an equivalent hyperscaler (VPC and peering/PSC, IAM, GKE, CloudSQL, GCS), including networking and migrations between projects or organizations. * Incident Management and On-call Responsibilities: Proven on-call and incident management experience, with strong problem-solving skills under pressure and a track record of root-cause analysis and blameless postmortems. * Kubernetes: Solid production experience with Kubernetes, ideally GKE: cluster lifecycle and upgrades, autoscaling and node pool tuning, and workload identity. * Infrastructure as Code and GitOps: Strong Terraform experience (Terraform Cloud a plus), GitOps (ArgoCD) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners). * Observability: Experience with Prometheus-compatible stacks (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana), alerting design and SLI/SLO practices. Understanding of cardinality and scaling issues is a plus. * Security: Working knowledge of cloud security practices: secrets management, vulnerability and CVE remediation, hardening and least privilege. * Other tools and engines: Streaming platforms (Kafka/Redpanda), or other stateful systems (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Aerospike); Cloudflare (CDN, load balancing); compliance frameworks (NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001); FinOps and capacity planning; hands-on experience building or operating LLM-based agents or automations (e.g. ADK, MCP) and using AI tools in daily engineering work; service maturity / internal developer platform approach. * People-Centric Approach: Focus on understanding stakeholders problems and providing the best way to solve team. * Agile Methodologies: Experience working with agile development methodologies like Kanban or Scrum, promoting transparency and collaboration within the team. * Planning and Execution: Strong skills in roadmap planning, execution, and measuring engineering excellence through key metrics and KPIs. * Priority Management: Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple priorities and concurrent projects effectively. * Cloud Services: Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or other cloud services, including technologies like Terraform and Ansible, for designing and managing scalable infrastructures. * Incident Management and On-call Responsibilities: Previous experience in incident management and on-call responsibilities is needed. The candidate must demonstrate strong problem-solving skills under pressure and quick responsiveness to critical situations. ## Description * Collaborate with engineering teams at Seedtag to set direction and build platforms that enhance customer experience, while providing necessary operational support. * Contribute to the professional growth and performance optimization of the Platform Engineering (SRE) team by offering helpful feedback and guidance. * Foster and cultivate trust within the SRE team, empowering them to implement solid engineering practices and principles. * Ensure reliability, security and compliance of Seedtag's cloud foundations, aligned with the Google Cloud Architecture Framework and NIST/ISO controls (logging, vulnerability and secrets management, hardening, backup and restore). * Design, build and operate the internal developer platform (GKE, networking, IAM, CI/CD, GitOps) so product teams can ship autonomously under a "you build it, you run it" model. * Share knowledge, review peers' work and raise the bar on engineering practices in the team. * Take part in the Platform on-call rotation, lead incident response and write blameless postmortems, turning recurring issues into automation and lasting fixes. * Partner with engineering teams to understand their needs and communicate roadmap, trade-offs and progress transparently. * Operate and evolve our streaming and data infrastructure (Redpanda and self-hosted databases), including migrations, upgrades and the discontinuation of legacy components. * Own the observability stack (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, alerting, PagerDuty), tackling scalability problems such as high-cardinality metrics, and define SLIs/SLOs and a service maturity model with engineering teams. * Drive cost efficiency (FinOps): capacity planning, node and instance right-sizing, quota management and cost anomaly detection. * Reduce toil and enable self-service: replace tickets with tools, golden paths and reusable CI/CD workflows, and keep documentation and runbooks fresh. * Apply AI to platform operations: build and operate agents and automations (e.g. cost anomaly detection, PR review, incident triage), define MCP integrations, and contribute to AI governance with Security. Our Core Values Outcome over Output We measure success by impact and value, not by volume of features or lines of code. Failure Is Allowed, Learning Is a Must Experimentation is key to innovation. We test early, iterate often, and learn fast. We Are All Scouts We take ownership and leave things better than we found them. We Are Data-Driven Data informs our decisions and helps us continuously improve our systems and results. Tech Stack Our stack includes: * Languages & Automation: Python, Go * Cloud & Infrastructure: GCP, Kubernetes (GKE), Terraform, Terraform Cloud * CI/CD & GitOps: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD * Observability: VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, PagerDuty * Streaming & Data: Redpanda, Kafka, MongoDB, Redis * Security & Networking: IAM, VPC, Cloudflare, secrets management * AI & Automation: LLM-based agents, MCP integrations
