Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Design, build, and operate shared platform foundations including GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, routing, CI/CD, and observability systems that engineers rely on daily.
- • Diagnose and troubleshoot complex distributed systems operating at high request volumes, including Content Lake handling ~75,000 requests per second and ~4.5 million per minute.
- • Ensure comprehensive observability across the platform by analyzing system behavior, improving dashboards, alert severity, and paging standards to enhance incident response.
- • Contribute to modernization efforts of edge, caching, and gateway layers by migrating to Fastly and tightening observability across the entire stack.
- • Improve deployment reliability by creating golden paths, production readiness checks, safe rollouts, and automation to reduce cognitive load on engineering teams.
- • Raise the reliability bar through structured on-call practices, incident response improvements, and feedback loops that make production systems healthier over time.
- • Participate in an on-call rotation to respond to incidents and support the rollout of developer on-call practices across teams.
- • Mentor engineers through code reviews, design reviews, and pairing sessions to elevate technical standards and foster SRE culture.
- • Work closely with development teams to design infrastructure that enables real-time content authoring, processing, and distribution globally.
- • Operate and optimize core technologies including Kubernetes, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, NATS, Kong, Fastly, and Google Cloud Platform.
- • Maintain high availability and security for customer-facing systems used by global brands such as SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, COMPLEX, Nordstrom, Arc’teryx, and Morningbrew.
- • Embrace an open but considered approach to adopting new technologies while maintaining stability and performance at scale.
- • Build systems and standards that reduce toil, improve incident communication, and create sustainable operational practices under high-pressure conditions.
- • Collaborate with a globally distributed team with reasonable overlap with European engineering hours to support 24/7 global operations.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years of experience as part of an SRE on-call rotation
- • Experience with Kubernetes for orchestrating, scaling, and managing containerized applications in cloud-based environments
- • Experience building CI/CD pipelines
- • Experience with an observability stack (e.g., Prometheus)
- • Experience managing scalable, highly available, cloud-based applications with high request volume and customer-facing uptime expectations
- • Comfortable working across CDNs, edge, gateways, and caching layers, or eager to deepen expertise in these areas
🏖️ Benefits

- • Competitive stock options program and location-based salary
- • Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth
