Key Information

About the role
We’re hiring two Senior SREs for a household-name product company. You’ll partner with an existing infra lead and multiple engineering squads to scale the platform, harden reliability, and accelerate automation across build/deploy.
What you’ll do
* Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and release workflows (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab/CircleCI).
* Operate and optimise Kubernetes estates (EKS; GKE exposure welcome), container build/run, Helm, and cluster ops.
* Deliver Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (modules, workspaces, policy as code).
* Champion reliability: observability, incident response, performance, cost efficiency, and security guardrails.
* Drive automation across environments and collaborate closely with multiple product teams.
What you’ll bring
* Strong experience in AWS (networking, IAM, ECR/EKS, CloudWatch, etc.).
* Deep hands-on with Kubernetes/K8s and container tooling (Docker).
* Solid Terraform skills and IaC best practices.
* Proven CI/CD delivery (pipelines, build/test/deploy, environment strategy).
* Senior, self-reliant communicator who mentors others and thrives in multi-team settings.
Nice to have
* Service mesh/observability (Istio/Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog), policy as code, scripting (Bash/Python/Go).
* Exposure to GKE and multi-cloud patterns.
