Role Description
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will work with Agile engineering teams to provide production insight into running and operating software at-scale in a globally distributed and highly available cloud-based system.
You will guide the team to consider resiliency, scalability, and operability implications in the choices they make during the development cycle to help foster an ownership in production mentality ("You build it, you own it").
You will also own and develop our platform by implementing and championing GitOps principles. You will play a hands-on role helping the team meet technical, operational, schedule, and business requirements.
The ideal candidate will be a systems problem solver with a passion for crafting products that deliver incredible customer experiences, have deep experience with infrastructure, operational automation, data-driven metrics collection, modern platform management, and a true desire to automate it rather than do it repeatedly.
