Responsibilities

Administration - Participate in maintenance and operations of the production environment, including patching, deployment, server administration, and troubleshooting, either using configuration as code tooling or manually.

Reliability & Performance - Ensure reliability, availability, and performance of services. Respond to incidents and resolve before they become customer impacting.

Projects - Deliver complex solutions that traverse all layers of the technology stack: Operating System, Virtualization, Network, Storage & Cloud.

Data Centre - Participate and coordinate on-site deployments of critical hardware, including servers and storage.

Collaboration - Work closely with teammates, software, and security teams to rapidly meet customer, business, and compliance needs.

Automation - Drive the automation of operational tasks and ensure the infrastructure is more like cattle than pets.

Observability - Develop and maintain internal and commercial or OSS tools to improve system health, performance, and deployment.

Continuous Improvement - Drive never-ending improvement in SRE processes, tools, and methodologies. Take a leading role in blameless post-mortems to avoid repeat issues or mistakes and clearly document all lessons learned for others. If you love writing actionable documentation, we’d love to set up an interview.

Required

5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, System Administration, or similar roles.

Deep experience working in colocation facilities – we have a hybrid footprint, and if you have only worked in the public cloud space, this role is not a great fit for you.

Experience using Puppet, Ansible, or other common configuration as code tooling to deploy and configure systems.

Strong familiarity with Linux systems (any distro is fine, but we have a preference for RHEL downstreams).

Experience using Proxmox, VMWare, or KVM as virtualization platforms for large-scale production environments.

Experience administering enterprise grade SANs and load balancers is necessary to be successful in this role.

Demonstrated proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, Bash/ZSH, etc.)

Multiple years experience proactively implementing and responding to infrastructure, application, and network alerts using industry standard or homebrew toolchains.

Strong problem-solving skills and experience working in extreme high availability production environments (99.95% or greater), with high performance requirements, is required.

Preferred

Experience with F5 BigIP LTMs or NetApp SANs is highly desirable.

Experience using Grafana, Prometheus, and the ELK stack for observability is highly desirable.

Experience with MySql (any engine variant) will be extremely helpful in this role.

Kubernetes experience is a significant plus. Alternatively, a burning desire to learn it.

Experience working with SaaS based WAF/DDoS protection services such as Silverline, CloudFlare, or Akamai is preferred.

Prior experience on a team following common agile processes such as Kanban or Scrum would be valuable.

Experience in the start-up to scale-up space will be very valuable. We are not a calcified, enormous enterprise, and move quickly.

GitLab experience is a plus.
