Observability & Monitoring: Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing solutions to provide deep insights into system health and performance
Automation & Toil Reduction: Identify and automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce toil and improve operational efficiency. Develop tools and scripts to streamline deployments, scaling, and system management
Capacity Planning & Performance Tuning: Work proactively on capacity planning to ensure our infrastructure can gracefully handle growth and peak loads. Optimize system performance and resource utilization
Reliability Best Practices: Collaborate with software engineers to embed reliability principles (e.g., SLOs, SLIs, error budgets) into the development lifecycle, promoting a culture of operational excellence
On-call Rotation: Participate in a periodic on-call rotation to support our production environment and respond to critical alerts

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or a similar role focused on large-scale production systems
Deep expertise in SRE principles and practices, including SLOs, SLIs, operational automation, incident management, and post-mortems
Extensive hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), including compute, networking, storage, and database services
Strong experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes)
Proficiency in designing and implementing robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and distributed tracing
Solid programming/scripting skills in at least one language (e.g., Python, Go) for automation and tool development
In-depth knowledge of Linux operating systems, networking fundamentals, and system debugging
Proven ability to troubleshoot complex issues across the entire stack
Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
Willingness to participate in on-call rotations

Nice to have:

Experience of managing data center grade GPU clusters with GPU (and peripherals like HBM and RDMA enabled networking) monitoring, troubleshooting, and fixing
Experience with machine learning infrastructure, model serving, or distributed AI frameworks
Hands-on experience in security and data protection
