Partner with development teams before launch through system design reviews, platform and framework development, capacity planning, and production readiness assessments.
Improve reliability, scalability, and performance by automating operations and driving infrastructure and platform enhancements.
Maintain and optimize live systems through monitoring, observability, performance analysis, and incident management.
Participate in incident response and contribute to a culture of blameless postmortems and continuous learning.
Stack: C#, Java, Scala, Python, Go, Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, Linux, Kubernetes, Mesos, and more.
Who You Are:
Strong software engineering experience with at least one modern programming language.
5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, Software Engineering, or DevOps roles.
Experience designing, operating, and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems in production environments.
Solid understanding of systems engineering fundamentals, including compute, networking, storage, and observability.
Hands-on experience debugging production issues, optimizing system performance, and automating operational workflows.
Ability to write clean, maintainable, and reliable code used in production systems and internal platforms.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams.
