Description
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our engineering team to support critical application deployments in a "follow-the-sun" environment. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in cloud provisioning, infrastructure as code, and container orchestration to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our services. We are looking for a self-starter with an open-minded attitude—someone who approaches challenges thoughtfully and strategically. You will collaborate closely with development teams to design and implement robust infrastructure solutions utilizing AWS, Azure, and containerized technologies.
The Role and Responsibilities:
1. Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure in AWS and Azure, ensuring alignment with best practices and organizational standards.
2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize Terraform (HCL), AWS CDK, and AWS CloudFormation for scalable and maintainable IaC, enabling safe and efficient infrastructure builds, changes, and versioning.
3. Containerization and Orchestration: Deploy, manage, and provide ongoing support for containerized applications using Kubernetes, including Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), ensuring their reliability, availability, and performance.
4. Monitoring and Alerting: Monitor application performance and system health through observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack), proactively identifying and resolving issues to ensure high availability and rapid incident response.
5. Security and IAM: Implement security best practices, managing Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies across cloud environments. Utilize technologies such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth2, and SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) to ensure secure authentication and authorization across services.
6. Database Technologies: Manage and optimize database systems, including SQL databases and Mongo DB, ensuring high availability, performance tuning, and data security.
7. CI/CD Practices: Automate manual processes to enhance operational efficiency, employing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) best practices for efficient code deployment.
8. Scripting Languages: Demonstrate proficient scripting skills in languages such as Java, TypeScript, and Python to automate tasks and manage configurations.
9. Load Balancing: Implement and maintain load balancing solutions to ensure optimal distribution of application traffic and high availability.
10. Collaboration with Development Teams: Collaborate with software engineering teams to design, develop, and maintain robust systems and solutions, including RESTful APIs, ensuring seamless integration across platforms.
11. Post-Mortem Analysis: Conduct comprehensive post-mortem analyses following incidents, identifying root causes and recommending improvements to enhance system reliability and performance.
12. Mentorship: Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the engineering team.
