As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Sr. SRE) at our company, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the performance, scaling, and optimization of our infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include: - Designing and maintaining resilient deployment patterns (blue-green, canary, GitOps syncs) across services. - Instrumenting and optimizing logs, metrics, traces, and alerts to enhance signal quality. - Reviewing backend code with a focus on infrastructure touchpoints like database usage, timeouts, error handling, and memory consumption. - Tuning and troubleshooting GKE workloads, HPA configs, network policies, and node pool strategies. - Improving or authoring Terraform modules for infrastructure resources such as VPC, CloudSQL, Secrets, Pub/Sub. - Diagnosing production issues and leading or supporting incident response using logs, traces, and dashboards. - Collaborating with developers to enhance delivery pipelines, standardize rollout readiness, and clean up infrastructure issues in code. To qualify for this role, you should have the following qualifications: - 5+ years of experience in backend or infra-focused engineering roles (e.g., SRE, platform, DevOps, or fullstack). - Proficiency in writing or reviewing production-grade code and infra-as-code (Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions, etc.). - Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production, preferably on GKE, including workload autoscaling and ingress strategies. - Understanding of cloud concepts like IAM, VPCs, secret storage, workload identity, and CloudSQL performance characteristics. - Ability to think in systems and comprehend concepts such as cascading failure, timeout boundaries, dependency health, and blast radius. - Experience in contributing to incident mitigation or long-term fixes. - Strong communication skills to influence through PRs, documentation, and design reviews. Please Note: The tools and expectations you will work with include Datadog for monitoring infrastructure health, PagerDuty for incident management, GKE/Kubernetes for cluster stability, Helm/GitOps for release consistency, Terraform Cloud for infrastructure changes detection, CloudSQL/Cloudflare for diagnosing DB and networking issues, and secret management for securing access to secrets and defining alerts for abnormal usage.,
