Our client's Cloud Operations team is expanding its SRE function. Site Reliability Engineers keep all user-facing services and production systems running smoothly. SREs here are a blend of pragmatic operators and software craftspeople who apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline and mature automation to the environment and the codebase. The team specialises in systems — networking, the Linux kernel, and scaling, algorithms and distributed systems.As an SRE you willBe on an on-call rotation responding to production availability incidents, and support service engineers with customer incidentsUse your on-call shift to prevent incidents from ever happeningRun infrastructure with Ansible, Puppet, Terraform and KubernetesMake monitoring and alerting alert on symptoms, not outagesDocument every action, so findings turn into repeatable actions — and then into automationImprove the deployment process to make it as boring as possibleDesign, build and maintain core infrastructure that scales to hundreds of thousands of concurrent usersDebug production issues across services and levels of the stackPlan the growth of the infrastructureYou may be a fit if youThink cloud-first, regardless of the flavour of public cloudThink security-firstThink about systems — edge cases, failure modes, behaviours, specific implementationsKnow your way around Linux and WindowsKnow the use of config-management systems like Ansible or PuppetHave strong programming skills — Python, Java, Golang, Node.jsCollaborate and communicate asynchronously, and document so nothing is learned twiceHave a go-for-it attitude: when you see something broken, you fix itHave experience with Nginx, HAProxy, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform or similar technologiesProjects you could work onCoding infrastructure automation with Ansible and TerraformImproving Prometheus monitoring or building new metricsHelping release managers deploy and fix new versions of application softwarePlanning and executing the migration from AWS virtual machines to cloud-native, container-based deployments on Kubernetes (EKS)Developing a relationship with a product group and defining their SRE KPIs — the SRE practice here is early in its journey
