About the role...

Projects you could work on:

• Helping us maintain and expand our infrastructure on Kubernetes (GKE)


• Take a lead role in implementation and maintenance of system health monitoring, and alerting


• Extend and maintain our automated deployment and testing pipelines


• Scaling our ever-growing logging platform (such as Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana on Kubernetes) to keep up with the business demands.

• Evolving our infrastructure platform building self-service components that will be used by all the engineering team and by millions of users around the world.


• Working closely with our Product and Infrastructure teams to architecture and develop first-class infrastructure components.


• Designing and implementing tooling to improve the availability, scalability, observability and latency of our services, which are used by internal customers to deploy and operate their services.


• Defining SLIs, SLOs and SLAs as part of the services lifecycle.


• Sharing an on-call schedule for the platform services you own.


• Solving problems in our highly available platform together with other teams, then build automations to prevent incidents from happening again.


• Participating in our recruiting process to help grow our engineering team.

• Think Unix, you know the networking stack, the OSI model, containers (and schedulers), and you know your way around monitoring, logging and the CAP theorem (bonus!).


• Have strong programming skills at least in one language, and know your way around a few more or can learn them if the opportunity arises.


• Automate yourself out of everything by nature, making machines do the toil.


• Communicate effectively and asynchronously.


• Care about the things that affect the company, your team, and yourself.


• Embrace diversity and humbleness (and a bit of trolling).


• Prefer taking iterative action over waiting for things to happen or to be perfect.


• Strongly favor simplicity over complexity.


• Have a sense for identifying, exploiting and elevating bottlenecks.


• Enjoy herding cats and shaving yaks.
