## About the role

You are a seasoned SRE who keeps production infrastructure running at scale. You own the reliability and availability of customer-facing systems — from Kubernetes clusters to deployment pipelines to the networking layer that connects it all. You think in SLOs, automate ruthlessly, and treat every incident as a chance to make the system better. Own and operate our Kubernetes infrastructure: cluster lifecycle, upgrades, networking, and multi-tenant isolation for customer workloads

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years experience in managing critical production systems and software development workflows
- Strong production experience setting up and operating Kubernetes at scale, using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible)
- Deep knowledge of Linux networking, container networking (CNI plugins, VXLAN, BGP), and DNS
- Experience building CI/CD systems and GitOps workflows (FluxCD, ArgoCD)
- Proficiency in Python and either Go or Bash for tooling and automation
- Strong experience with logging, monitoring and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Thanos, VictoriaMetrics, Datadog)
