Requirements and responsibilities

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

What you’ll bring

  • Solid professional experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering.
  • Solid hands-on Kubernetes: operating and scaling production clusters and container tooling (Docker) and its ecosystem.
  • Experience building and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS (or similar).
  • Strong infrastructure-as-code practice with Terraform.
  • Experience with reliability frameworks: SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, alerting strategies.
  • Solid observability background: OpenTelemetry, Grafana/Prometheus or similar.
  • Proficiency with CI/CD (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar) and deployment automation.
  • Comfortable with Golang, Bash/scripting; broader programming a plus.
  • Practical, embedded use of AI in infra/ops/dev work, agentic workflows with concrete, observable results, not just familiarity with the tools.
  • Clear and thoughtful communication, especially in an async-first, global setting
  • Proactive, curious, and comfortable taking ownership of challenges
  • Collaborative and respectful across cultures, time zones, and backgrounds

Nice to haves

  • Experience with 1 back-end programming language (Elixir, Nodejs, Python, etc)
  • Experience running and configuring Linux systems in a non-cloud environment
  • Security knowledge and capabilities from a defensive and offensive standpoint

What you’ll do

  • Lead solution discovery and delivery for reliability and infrastructure problems with real ambiguity, complexity, or scope. Autonomously, coordinating with other contributors where needed.
  • Contribute to the platform's architecture, tooling, and roadmap. Influence team priorities and advocate for technical initiatives.
  • Help define and operate reliability practices for our platform: SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, alerting, observability. Take responsibility for the team's operational stance, using support/incident metrics to shape technical strategy.
  • Resolve cross-team requests, identify systemic issues, and turn recurring ones into reusable fixes and runbooks rather than one-off answers.
  • Work AI-natively and operationalise it for the team: use agentic workflows by default; build reusable prompts, skills, and tooling embedded in the codebase so others ship faster, safely; design agent-ready systems (clean interfaces, good observability) that make AI-assisted changes easy to review. Establish shared standards and domain-level guardrails (secure-by-default patterns, CI protections, AI-assisted review practices).
  • Mentor and give timely, actionable feedback to less-senior engineers; participate in hiring, onboarding, and RFC discussions.
  • Collaborate with Security on platform hardening and threat mitigation; contribute to capacity and cost-efficiency of the infrastructure.
  • Participate in incident response and on-call rotations to rapidly resolve issues and maintain system reliability.
