Job description

We are hiring exceptional Site Reliability Engineers who take pride in building and operating mission-critical, production-grade systems. This role is for engineers who own what they build, thrive in high-pressure environments, and continuously raise the reliability and operational bar.

You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, and observability, with a strong focus on preventing incidents rather than reacting to them.

What You’ll Own

  • End-to-end ownership of highly available, scalable AWS infrastructure
  • Design, operation, and continuous improvement of Kubernetes (EKS) platforms
  • Reliability of production systems through strong observability, automation, and SLOs
  • CI/CD systems that enable safe, fast, and repeatable deployments
  • Infrastructure defined and enforced through Terraform and GitOps
  • Incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term remediation
  • Raising operational standards through automation, documentation, and best practices

Technical Requirements:

We’re looking for engineers who have actually built, run, and scaled real production systems in the following areas

Requirements

Do you have experience in Terraform?, * Deep AWS expertise - networking, compute, IAM, scaling, security

  • Strong experience managing infrastructure using Terraform at scale

Kubernetes & Platform Engineering

  • Very strong Kubernetes fundamentals (internals, scheduling, networking, storage)
  • Hands-on experience operating Amazon EKS in production environments
  • Experience troubleshooting complex, multi-layer Kubernetes issues

Coding & Automation

  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code in: Go/ Python
  • Strong automation mindset - eliminating toil through code

CI/CD & GitOps

  • Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with:
  • GitHub (Actions or integrations)
  • ArgoCD and GitOps-based deployment workflows

Observability & Reliability

  • Strong understanding of observability principles: metrics, logs, traces, and alerting
  • Hands-on experience with Datadog or similar tool for:
  • Infrastructure and Kubernetes monitoring
  • Application performance monitoring (APM)
  • Alerting, dashboards, and incident detection
  • Experience defining and using SLIs/SLOs to drive reliability decisions

Ability to turn observability data into actionable operational improvements
