Your Opportunity
- Evolve our Kubernetes platform: Evaluate and adopt technologies such as Kubernetes Gateway API and service mesh patterns, and coordinate platform evolution across 10+ engineering teams.
- Take observability to the next level: Drive organization-wide adoption of OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing and metrics, and help teams define meaningful SLOs.
- Shape multi-region architecture and data residency: Support our move from an EU-centered footprint toward a global, multi-cloud architecture that satisfies disaster-recovery and data-residency requirements.
- Own cloud cost and efficiency at scale: Keep petabyte-scale infrastructure cost-efficient, secure, and well-instrumented.
- Improve tooling: Build self-service AWS account provisioning, guardrails and AI-assisted automations that help engineering teams manage infrastructure safely and efficiently at scale.
What We Expect from You
- 5+ years of professional experience in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
- Software development experience: Your background is rooted in software development, and you moved into SRE from there. You write production-quality software in at least one of Python, Go, Rust, or Java.
- Strong systems foundation: You understand Linux internals and distributed systems well enough to debug complex production behavior.
- Hands-on cloud and infrastructure experience: AWS (or GCP), declarative infrastructure (Terraform), gitops-workflow (ArgoCD) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Observability and reliability experience: You have worked with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, distributed tracing, monitoring, and meaningful SLOs/SLIs.
- Production debugging depth: You can investigate complex failures, communicate clearly during incidents, and turn findings into durable improvements.
- Security and compliance awareness: You understand how infrastructure decisions affect access control, auditability, disaster recovery, logging, and standards such as SOC 2.
- Clear communication: You can explain trade-offs to engineering teams and help others adopt better platform practices without unnecessary friction.
