What you'll do

As our Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll contribute to the reliability, monitoring, and operational excellence of cloud-native platforms.

We’re looking for an engineer with solid foundational experience in cloud platforms and a keen interest in reliability engineering and production operations. You must have experience working with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) in a production or pre-production environment, along with familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana and Prometheus. To succeed in this role, you should also have a good understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows, with GitLab preferred.
