  • Collaborate with development teams to ensure reliability is built into the software development lifecycle from inception.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues across various layers of the stack, identifying root causes and implementing preventative measures.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to support production systems.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or a similar role with a strong focus on operational excellence.
  • Deep expertise in Amazon EKS, including cluster provisioning, management, and troubleshooting.
  • Extensive experience with observability tools and practices, including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or similar.
  • Proven track record in designing and implementing robust data pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Airflow, Spark).
  • Strong background in CI/CD methodologies and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD).
  • Expert-level knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including infrastructure-as-code principles.
  • Comprehensive understanding of security best practices for cloud environments, applications, and data.
  • Proficiency in Docker for containerization and orchestration.
  • Advanced scripting and programming skills in Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
  • Solid understanding of networking concepts, distributed systems, and operating systems.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
