We are looking for a strong SRE to add to our current SRE team. The ideal candidate is someone who is excited about working for a growing, international company that is building an amazing product.

SREs are responsible for creating and maintaining fully automated pipelines that enable developers to release features when they are ready. They are also responsible for architecting, implementing and maintaining a performing and elastic infrastructure.

In this role, you will be responsible for contributing to the definition and the implementation of both the infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines architecture to make the above a reality. This will require you to proactively collaborate with other team members and contribute to an atmosphere of success, where we can quickly achieve goals without breaking things in production in the process.

This team works closely with our engineers to make sure they have the tools they need for success. Automation will start with CI/CD, and extend to a fully-serviced container delivery system where an engineer can build, test, and release on demand.

Another area this team covers is Chaos Engineering. This includes everything from production load testing to vulnerability injection to site and regional disaster simulation. Additional focus will be dedicated to implementing an effective monitoring-and-alerting strategy to identify potential problems as soon as possible, and troubleshooting them before they impact customers.
