Description:

The Site Reliability Engineer role focuses on next-gen operations at scale using pure Python infrastructure-as-code, from bare metal to containers and applications.
The team runs hundreds of private cloud, Kubernetes, and application clusters for customers across both physical and public cloud estates.
The goal is to enhance automation by adopting a universal operator pattern and model-driven operations.
Candidates must believe in automation as a software engineering problem and be interested in a scientific approach to operations driven by metrics and code.
The role requires learning the entire stack, from bare metal networking and kernel to serverless and open source applications.
Site reliability engineers apply Python software-engineering skills to the operations domain, practicing devsecops from bare metal to application.
Responsibilities include architecting and running OpenStack, Kubernetes, and software-defined storage, while enabling devsecops for applications on that infrastructure.
The position demands fluency in Python, a genuine interest in the full open source infrastructure stack, and the ability to work in a high-pressure operations environment with mission-critical services for global brand name customers.
Team members will gain experience in a broad range of cloud technologies and stay current with the latest capabilities in open source infrastructure.

Requirements:

A degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science is required.
Candidates must have Linux experience and familiarity with Linux networking and storage.
Python software development experience is essential.
A demonstrated drive for continual learning is necessary.
DevOps experience is required.
Experience with OpenStack or Kubernetes deployment or operations is a nice to have.
